mdavis10 just commented on Dear Big Data - I would be in Big Data

Dear Big Data - I would be interested in your views on your little brother 'Data' - do you believe that most enterprises really have a good handle on analytics in general? Should they really be considering how to grow their analytics capabilities across the board where Big Data is just one aspect?

palankaravi just commented on I think efficiency is ability in IT Performance

I think efficiency is ability to do the specified function smoothly and reliable is available when it is needed (trustworthy).

Yes we cannot measure opportunity but when we have opportunities we have scope to get new things that lead to (driving force) for adopting new tools/technologies.

Am I going in right direction?

So in the end, security is BOTH a constraint and a value add, no?

Fri, 06/14/2013 - 12:50

First, yesterday the day started with keynotes from Dave Donatelli, George Kadifa and Mike Nefkins. Dave discussed new products in the server, storage and network area, focusing mainly on the software defined ones, describing how HP addresses software defined data centers. George and his team walked us through the HAVEn announcement and showed through three new products how HAVEn can be used to gain better understanding of our IT environments.

Cloud: where do you start?

Thu, 06/06/2013 - 13:53

As you probably know by now, I have the opportunity to talk to many CIOs about cloud and how to take some of their activities to the cloud. As long as we discuss options, concepts, offerings etc. the discussion is animated. But at one moment, THE question pops up. How can we go after this? How do we start?

Cloud - die richtige Plattform für die richtige Anwendung (German)

Lassen Sie mich hier weiter die betriebswirtschaftlichen Aspekte der Cloud erörtern, die ich ursprünglich auf CloudSource veröffentlicht habe.

Ist es sinnvoll, Legacy-Anwendungen in die Cloud zu migrieren? (German)

Thu, 06/06/2013 - 08:00

In meinen letzten Blog-Beiträgen bin ich auf den Unterschied zwischen einer IT-orientierten und einer nutzerorientierten Cloud eingegangen. Eine IT-orientierte Cloud stellt eine Infrastruktur bereit, um die Installation neuer Instanzen von Anwendungen zu erleichtern. Sie automatisiert die Bereitstellung der entsprechenden Anzahl von virtuellen und / oder physischen Maschinen mit den richtigen Konfigurationen, der gesicherten Vernetzung und entsprechenden Speicherkapazitäten. Die Installation der Zielanwendung kann ebenfalls automatisiert werden.

Das neue IT-Office: Ist ein Split nach Geschäftsbereichen erforderlich? (German)

Ich habe gerade einen Beitrag gelesen, der die Einführung eines „Marketing Technology Office“ propagiert. Er schlägt vor, dass für Channel- und dem Kunden zugewandte Technologien das so genannte Marketing Technology Office (MTO) zuständig sein sollte. Ganz offen – das legt aus meiner Sicht zwei Schlüsse nahe:

IT = Business und Business = IT

Organizational evolution most important when moving to the cloud (not technology)

Tue, 05/28/2013 - 18:36

Last week I was talking to public sector clients who are in the process of moving to cloud. We discussed how best to do that, knowing they want to stay vendor independent, and the subject of the service broker was discussed in quite some details. However, technology is not the most difficult aspect of that transition. It’s actually the evolution of the organization. We spend quite some time discussing that aspect of things.
