WikitipQuantify business benefits of mobile enterprise platformsIT must ensure that business lines quantify the benefits of enterprise mobility and reflect that improved productivity in business plans. IT must demonstrate a return on infrastructure investments using this baseline and construct cost-effective solutions accordingly. Owning both the cost and the benefit sides of the equation will put IT in a lose-lose situation if clear returns are not realized. |
Featured Case Study
Case Study: Mining company turns to Data Domain for backupA data center within P&H Mining Equipment (P&H) had a problem recovering from a tape library that was too small. Recovery of files and emails was taking up to 72 hours, and IT was increasingly concerned that it would not be possible to recover from a major disaster. Rather than increase the capacity of the tape library from 500 to 1,000 tapes, P&H choose an innovative solution of a ten terabyte data de-duplication system from Data Domain. Importantly, the installation required no changes to the Tivoli Storage Management (TSM) procedures and virtually no education for storage administrators. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. | |||
