Improved business productivity often requires more efficient IT and more efficient IT cannot be achieved without a better understanding of the way business services are run and delivered.
More insight can be gained, and even better decisions can be made, by coupling business-relevant information with an easy-to-use predictive analytics solution.
The goal of this paper is to paint the EIM landscape, noting its components but focusing on the importance of an overarching EIM strategy that focuses on corporate objectives while at the same time offering cross-functional support.
The paper highlights six common mistakes companies make in a down economy, and how organizations can use business intelligence to avoid them.
With budgets becoming tighter and demands from executives to see immediate results from IT implementations increasing, this paper outlines the benefits an organization can expect to see from a BI solution and its impact on a company.
In this white paper, IDC discusses the growing body of evidence suggesting a direct link between investment in business analytics solutions and organizational performance.
Energy costs represent the single largest component of operating expense, and a potential barrier to future expansion. Does IT really have a handle on this trend? This white paper describes an approach that considers the major milestones and thresholds in data center power requirements—and how planners should adjust their strategies and recommendations for data centers as they pass through different evolutionary stages.
To keep pace with business demands, data centers pack in more power-hungry, heat generating IT systems than ever. Many power and cooling systems are reaching their limits. What is the best way to augment and extend existing capacity within the constraints of tight budgets and limited support staff? How can you establish a power and cooling infrastructure that is ready for growth but not over-provisioned for an uncertain future? Here are seven ways to extend the value of what you have and optimize the plan for what you need.
What your IT equipment needs from a UPS: The top five requirements that define “quality power” in the eyes of the power supplies in your IT systems.
Virtualization can deliver dramatic benefits for data centers, but it can also stress the underlying support infrastructure. Power and cooling systems—which may have been quite sufficient for pre-virtualization needs—could easily become inadequate when data center performance patterns are radically altered. This paper describes some of power challenges related to virtualization—and the readily available technologies to address them. Presenter – Chris Loeffler
