WikitipFunctionality Set - Managing Unstructured Data Across the EnterpriseOrganizations should begin to plan for the development of a baseline for future state functionality needed to effectively manage and tame the growth of unstructured data. This conclusion was borne out at the July 28 Peer Incite Research Meeting where Wikibon members, including four practitioners working in three highly regulated industries, energy, finance and healthcare discussed the primary barriers to implementing successful IM initiatives. See also Strategic IM Roadmap A Baseline This conclusion requires action from both users and vendors to specify, build, test and deliver a future state information management architecture and related functionality. The right approach is to think about functionality and automation requirements across technology platforms (e.g., storage, messaging, desktop, file servers, content repositories, policy engines, security servers, user directories, portals, and cloud) in the context of a strategic information management framework . There are nine (9) primary categories of functionality that must be considered at a minimum:

Featured Case StudyVirtualization Energizes Cal State UniversityJohn Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years. |

Featured How-To Note |
Storage Virtualization Design and DeploymentA main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center. |
