The Business Case for Application Visualization
When was the last time you were involved with a business application that was delivered on time, on budget and with all the features needed to compete successfully in the market? If you answered; "Never" or "Not lately" you're not alone. The sad truth is that the majority of these projects, large and small, spin out of control and often crash. And the cause is almost always this: business cannot quickly, effectively communicate their needs to technology teams.


Bug Tracking Saves Hundreds of Hours a Month in Software Development Time
Accurate communication is the key to the success of the bug tracking process. This communication takes the form of timely information flow between customers, QA and Development. Reducing the time spent on tasks that communicate bug information saves money. This whitepaper explores the tasks completed daily by personnel in software development throughout the development process, compares the time and money spent on the tasks when they have Bug Tracking and when they don't and the average time spent on a task and average costs per hour.


Managing Business Service Performance in a Virtual Environment
Virtualization is proven to deliver many IT goals - such as server consolidation - but it is increasingly being used to deliver specific business service goals. By integrating virtualization into a Business Service Management (BSM) approach, that aligns the technology directly with business goals, enterprises can achieve competitive advantage, increase customer satisfaction, and drive both top line and bottom line revenues. However, such an approach demands rigorous management processes and methodologies to achieve key business results.


Best Practices: Enterprise SATA Deployment with High Performance and Reliability

Adding enterprise disk storage to fix this imbalance is a costly strategy and the alternative option of tape does not have the performance to meet application needs. With the introduction of Serial ATA (SATA) disk, a new type of storage solution is available that can fill the gap between enterprise disk storage and archival tape - disk based archive storage.
