IT Operations needs an Industrial Revolution
TITLE: IT Operations needs an Industrial RevolutionNew applications and cloud deployment models have led to operators being responsible for more infrastructure. “Manual production” in IT operations is no longer sustainable. Introducing the Crowbar Project, an effort to build a complete, easy to use operational platform where physical nodes go from bare-metal to a production cluster within hours. Applications include Hadoop and OpenStack.
Security Threats are Changing Every Day. Are Your Endpoints Secure?
So many devices, operating systems and remote locations. So little time. With the Dell KACE K1000 Management Appliance you can protect all your endpoints from a single console—streamlining patching, configuration and compliance, and well, your life.
