whitepaper Live Webcast: How to Avoid Virtualization Gotchas2006-11-11 01:00:15 Acronis
  Server virtualization is hot, and for good reason. Virtualization enables computers to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same physical server. The benefits to IT managers are compelling. However, there are a number of hidden "gotchas" that can thwart IT's efforts to migrate existing applications to a virtual environment and can threaten the stability of mission-critical applications.

Join this live TechRepublic Webcast, hosted by James Hilliard and featuring Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis Software, to learn how:

  • Hardware resources can be consolidated onto fewer servers
  • IT organizations can scale their server resources
  • IT staff resources can be deployed more efficiently
  • Legacy applications can be redeployed to virtual machines, extending application life and increasing performance
  • Security can be improved when the operating system doesn't communicate directly with the host

Gartner calls virtualization a "megatrend" and International Data Corp. forecasts that spending for virtualization will reach $15 billion by 2009. So join this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Acronis and featuring live Q&A, to learn how you can avoid a variety of virtualization "gotchas." Pre-register today!

Note: This TechRepublic Webcast will be recorded and made available on an on-demand basis following the live event. So pre-register today--even if you're not sure you can attend on November 21st--and we'll notify you by e-mail when the on-demand version is available.

  
whitepaper Introducing Master Data Management2006-12-16 01:00:21 Forrester Research
  Master data management (MDM) is a business capability enabled through the alignment of multiple information management technologies, business process improvements, and organizational commitments. MDM is much more than a single technology solution; it requires an ecosystem of technologies to allow the creation, management, and distribution of high-quality master data throughout the organization. This master data can be leveraged on both sides of your firewall — wherever and whenever it's needed. Enterprise architects and information management leaders must filter through the vendor hype surrounding MDM and use a checklist that considers the current state of the master data landscape and the technology, resource, and organizational commitment required to successfully implement this business capability across it.
