Enabling the Analytic Organization
Data is today's most effective competitive weapon. But how does an organization make the best use of data, and what is the proper role of IT? Based on insights from IT leaders about their companies' use of data analytics and their involvement in it, this paper describes how organizations can foster a culture of data analytics that promotes cooperation and collaboration between IT and business.

Strategies to Optimize Workload Performance
IDC research reveals that by 2013, 61% of organizations with more than 500 employees will use private clouds. Workload automation addresses the challenges and complexities of this environment by optimizing and dynamically mapping resources to workloads while ensuring SLAs and security.

How automated is your application deployment pipeline?
Bring Continuous Delivery into your organization with fully automated, online, transactional, 100% reversible and, in the case of minor updates, instantaneous application updates.  End slow, inefficient production deployment processes that often happen at 3 AM by overworked operations staff.

Take Control of SharePoint Storage Costs
Many organizations using SharePoint are trapped between limiting adoption of SharePoint or requiring a significant investment in storage. Learn how options such as remote BLOB storage can shrink SharePoint databases by 95%, dramatically reduce storage costs while improving performance, enhance data security and enable robust archiving schemes.

Reducing Costs Through Better Server Utilization
IT organizations are faced with service-level pressures that necessitate cost reductions and greater operational efficiency. The key to success is finding the right balance. This white paper highlights how customers can use innovative virtualization and consolidation technologies to create substantial savings.
