This Yankee Group report outlines the importance of taking both a broad and narrow approach to maintaining the health of network and security infrastructure. In the following sections, we describe and analyze the current risk landscape for enterprises and show the current state of operational management for enterprise networks and security. 

Employing the UltraSPARC® T2 and UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors - the industry's first massively threaded Systems on a Chip (SoC) - Sun SPARC® Enterprise T5120/T5220 and T5140/T5240 servers offer breakthrough performance and energy efficiency to drive Web 2.0 infrastructure and address other demanding datacenter challenges. 

The current economic climate is forcing more systematic thinking about costs in general, including those associated with overall complexity and the security and resiliency of large distributed infrastructures. These trends intersect in powerful ways; a new wave of computing is gathering momentum as a result. And open source is playing a major role. 

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enables end users or their hosting providers to provision and manage hundreds of individual, virtual desktops from a set of centrally administered, consolidated servers. 

This paper explores the most significant hurdles any desktop virtualization program needs to overcome. Staying focused on the ultimate goal--delivering core applications effectively to users--helps clarify the issues involved in desktop virtualization deployment. 

Disaster recovery and remote office replication are top-of-mind issues for IT professionals, with frequent natural disasters underscoring the fallibility of tape-based backup strategies. This paper highlights the advantages of deduplication technology in disk-to-disk backup and wide area network (WAN) replication.
