ITwhitepapers Featured Five

Embracing and Empowering the Consumerization of IT
Consumer-focused technologies that are deployed by employees can provide tremendous value to any business and can provide IT organizations with more functionality than they can afford or are willing to deploy. However, consumer technologies must be appropriately managed in order to satisfy corporate security, compliance and other requirements.

Ready or Not, Here Comes the Cloud
Clouds do many things well, but fixing performance problems isn't one of them. For that you need a world-class application server. Learn how application delivery problems continue to frustrate IT managers and how to move to the cloud without losing your sanity.

Best Practices and Applications of TLS/SSL
TLS (Transport Layer Security), widely known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), is the most well known method to secure your website. But it can also be used for much more.Read the white paper to learn how TLS works, best practices for its use and the various applications in which it can secure business computing.

Big Data: Harnessing a Game-Changing Asset
This paper shows the results of the survey, as well as case studies, trends and expert opinion focusing on why some top organizations are able to successfully extract insight from "big data." It also discusses why many more struggle to put all of their valuable data to good use.

Integrating File Transfer with Workload Automation
File transfers have never been more important. Data delivery gone wrong can result in incomplete transfers, duplicate data, and embarrassing, and costly security breaches. Safeguard your data with integrated file transfers. Get best practices and real-world examples for using a data delivery system that works with your workload automation solution in this white paper.
