Network Performance Daily: Best Practices for Monitoring Business Transactions, part 1 of 2
“One of the most important decisions is the deployment strategy for the business monitoring solution. Should monitors be deployed at the client sites or should they be deployed at the data centers? Should software agents or hardware appliances be used? While this may seem like a minor matter, it has the most serious ramifications from both an immediate ‘headache’ and long-term recurring cost standpoint.”
Byte and Switch: Cisco Salvo in 4-Gig FC – Storage Networking News Analysis
“Cisco today launched the MDS 9124, a 4-gig switch that scales from 8 to 24 ports. Its first 4-gig switch came out around a year ago, but that was through an OEM deal with QLogic. And the vendor has put most of its emphasis on larger directors since entering the Fibre Channel SAN market in 2003.”
Network World: Ethernet, media focus force telecom shift – Part 1
“As the service environment changes from one based on communications to that based on media or content, enterprises will find that they are not doing business with the usual suspects.”
Network World: NYC telecom journey Day 2: Getting sucked into IP’s black hole and awaiting a network endpoint explosion – Part 2
“Lippis . . . offered some predictions: by the year 2010, the number of endpoints will reach 1 trillion, from 1 billion today. He also believes that cross continental gigabit WAN links will be the norm for the largest global businesses.”
Macehiter Ward-Dutton: IT service management – road maps, not short cuts
“That should be quite straightforward,” I said, “It’s just a case of writing it all down.” Such remarks can come back to bite you. As it turns out I was right on one count, that it was just a case of writing it all down; straightforward, however, it most certainly was not, when I started to think about the real world service management issues of the organisations we advise.”
erp4it: ITIL and ITSM politics
“Powerful players, now marginalized by recent UK government decisions, are trying to build momentum around an “ITIL plus” definition of Service Management, formalized through training and certification, that includes other frameworks such as COBIT and even CMMI.”
