The best practices described by Version Three of the ITIL® represent a de facto standard for IT Service Management and have become very popular in technology organizations over the last several years. This paper will explore each of these challenges, provide real-world examples of each, and present realistic methods for overcoming these challenges. 

Find out what's fact and what's fiction about virtualizing your Exchange Server. What steps should you take, and how can you ensure success? Explore all these questions and more in this e-book. 

The tech chasm that has allegedly formed in the workforce created by a cross-generational 1divide  – between those who grew-up with technology and those that didn’t – is vastly overstated. 

This whitepaper discusses recommendations for embarking on a fact-based approach for selecting servers for hosting modern applications based on workload attributes. In addition, learn about hybrid cloud computing, a technology aimed at addressing the various challenges encountered in scaled out distributed computing implementations. 

Whether you are just starting a compliance program or need to fine-tune your existing process, this document will help you understand the steps involved in becoming GIPS compliant. It is not a substitute for the Standards themselves. It is designed to help you understand the value of compliance, what’s needed to achieve it, pitfalls to avoid. 

Cloud computing can, in fact, be a risky proposition. Check out this white paper to learn how to ensure your organization's safety while harnessing all the benefits of the cloud. 

Advances in technology and threats have shifted the way we approach protecting national security systems and information. All commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) information assurance (IA)-enabled products acquired by Government departments and agencies must be subject to a standardized evaluation process. Learn how RedHat meets these requirements. 

At the NERSC Center in California, tape is simply seen as extremely efficient, cost-effective, scalable—and reliable—storage. With over 13 PB of data on tape (growing at around 60% p.a.) and decades of history, NERSC has the facts to prove tape’s capabilities; so much so that it does not employ additional copies. 

Disaster recovery (DR) shouldn’t be left on the back burner until a natural disaster strikes. In fact, around 80% of network disruptions are a result of IT architecture complexity. But for many organizations, virtualization is an economical DR solution. This e-guide addresses the benefits of virtual disaster recovery. 

Virtualization is mainly associated with servers, but in fact, storage systems are really the vital factors that determine deployment success. Access this white paper to learn how to optimize your virtualization deployment through storage efficiency.
