Data Virtualization – The Quest for Agility

Tue, 08 May 2012 08:00:00 EDT

Yes, data virtualization is definitely about agility. We covered this from different angles in my previous article. Agility in this context is about accelerating the time-to-delivery of new critical data and reports that the business needs and trusts. It is also about an architecture that is flexible to changes in underlying data sources, without impacting the consuming applications. It’s about doing data virtualization the right way so you can deliver new critical data and reports in days vs. months. However, what about productivity? A discussion around agility cannot and must not exclude productivity. Productivity thus goes hand-in-hand with agility. Whether it is about the rate at which goods are produced or work is completed, or a measure of the efficiency of production, it’s about doing something well and effectively. This begs a deeper conversation around productivity, both as a capability as well as a benefit. However, looks like somebody forgot to talk about this - or, did they?

Making Virtualization Worth the Investment

Sat, 05 May 2012 09:00:00 EDT

Today’s IT organizations have recognized the power of virtualization to improve service delivery while also reducing costs. Once relegated to the lab, virtualization now plays key roles across the IT organization. Companies are increasingly moving business-critical workloads onto virtualized infrastructures, with many organizations now running, or planning to run, more than 80 percent of their computing on virtualized platforms. The next step for these organizations is to realize the promised benefits of virtualization — agility and lower costs — and to grow its footprint. Virtualization can also lay the groundwork for a move to the cloud. While virtualization completely changes the realized capacity of your physical resources, it does not change the functionality of the virtualized systems. Virtualization cuts your tight dependence on hardware by abstracting it away, thereby reducing complexity and increasing flexibility. However, the applications on the virtualized servers run no differently and, to the end user, a virtual server appears the same as a physical server.

Five Security Principles for Virtualized Environments

Sat, 05 May 2012 08:00:00 EDT

Over the past decade, we’ve become much more robust in our approach to information security. We recognize that our company’s largest vulnerabilities have to do with its computer systems, and that data security is at the core of loss prevention, disaster recovery, and even normal operations. Virtualization has created a much more efficient environment for our technology, but it’s also raised some new types of security risks. If you’re going to keep business running as usual and keep it secure, you need to know how to mitigate some of these risks.
