The typical data center will lose at minimum 30% of its total compute capacity in the absence of careful coordination of the space, power, cooling and IT equipment distributions. Many have turned to DCIM tools to protect capacity that is lost as a result of data center operations.

But, DCIM tools can only monitor/track power, IT assets, temperature and space only, NOT…

It can be a bleak day for the CIO, CFO, or both, when he or she realizes that the business’s servers are getting beyond their capacity, and must soon be replaced.

The biggest IT developments for 2011 and 2012 are looking to…

Platform as a service seems to be a solution made in heaven for organizations with large and growing data storage needs. Sometimes however, organizations have both high volumes of data, and high value data, for which security and intrusion-prevention are significant concerns. This can be true in medical services organizations, where there may be many users, not all of whom are tech-savy, or in retail organizations, where there may be a great number of sales associates with varying degrees of…

Just as there are peaks and valleys in our daily lives, business is subject to experience the same manner of cycles in both financial growth and productivity. Implementing a solid disaster recovery plan is critical to minimize down time in the event of a catastrophe. A myriad of disaster recovery tactics are available in today’s market but not all are created equal. IBM offers a…

Medical facility administrators have many and varied responsibilities, for patients, staff, physicians, facilities, public relations, and for information management. In the US, the push to qualify for the billions of dollars of federal funds available as an “incentive” for rapid transition to EHR (Electronic Health Records) adds a layer of complexity and urgency to the work of information management.



Most medical service providers have been gradually transitioning some of their…
