<p style="color: #666;">While technology changes have decreased footprint, power loading (amount of power required for a square foot of data center space) and heat load (the amount of heat that has to be removed from a square foot of data center space) have both escalated dramatically. The result is higher energy costs to provide power and extract heat from the data center, and lower utilization of data center floor space because of power and cooling limitations.

ESB for multi-channel Integration

The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is the best way to do multi-channel Integration allowing your existing software/application investment to be available to Mobile, smartphone/tablet users faster. It also has the benefits of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) of being scalable, maintainable, loosely coupled, highly available etc.,

A recent definition from Gartner Terms SOA as a software architecture style that uses server-side, consumer-independent business components, accessed in an interactive manner via documented remote accessible programmatic interfaces. It's modular and distributable.

Service orientated Computing has now come back with a renewed vigor thanks to Mobile/Smartphone era. The mobile era which has contributed to the decline of the PC age has compelled the enterprises to re-think their application architectures. Applications now being built has an additional requirement to be mobile friendly. Some of the customer centric verticles like Banks/Insurance have now realized that survival is impossible unless they allow mobile banking facility.

Platform independence which was more associated with Java/internet makes more sense with SOA, webServices etc., XML allows communication between the service consumer and service provider possible no matter what client is being used.

SOA shifts developer focus from software functions to business functions and therefore aiding rapid business change.

Featured Case Study

Financial giant goes green

The corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems.

Featured How-To Note

Planning a Green Storage Initiative

Fluctuating 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.
