Run Book Automation with PlateSpin OrchestrateNovell
This session will describe how to use PlateSpin Orchestrate for tasks beyond virtualization management. Run Book Automation can support the IT operation in a variety of processes, including monitoring, ticket enrichment, problem diagnosis, change and repair, optimization and virtualization, system management and disaster recovery. IDC predicts that data center management will be required to implement higher automation in all fields of system operation.
This session will show what the typical use cases for Run Book Automation are, how PlateSpin Orchestrate fits the requirement for an automation implementation platform, and where in the enterprise IT infrastructure it can be implemented organically and in manageable steps.
A number of implementation examples, such as a disaster recovery implementation for SAP components, prove that automation is not necessarily a huge step, and that even limited projects can lead to a quick return on investment. Implementation details in code and project examples, a technical demo and a tour of the existing example code will conclude the session.

This document discusses strategies for managing corporate and personal devices in a heterogeneous environment. For corporate devices, IT owns and controls the devices, hardware, applications, and configurations. Systems are homogenous and enforced through policies. For personal devices, IT uses a "system of least control" with heterogeneous systems. Users have more control and access apps and data through self-service and app stores. The strategies aim to meet IT standards while empowering users and ensuring key constraints are applied.
Michael describes server side technologies that are encountered in mobile application development.
Speaker: Michael Wakahe, Director, Shujaa Solutions Ltd
Date: 17th Mar 2011
Venue: Inoorero University Mobile Boot Camp
The document discusses the evolution from device-centric management to user-centric management. Device-centric management involved managing individual devices, but user-centric management focuses on managing all of a user's devices through a single interface. The document outlines how Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 and Microsoft Intune can be used to implement user-centric management, including managing applications, settings, and security across devices. A hybrid approach using both Configuration Manager and Intune is also presented.

Similar to Best Practices for IT Asset Management Using Novell ZENworks (20)
The document discusses different options for providing mobile file access and sharing for employees. Consumer-grade cloud services are easy for users but lack security controls. Enterprise cloud services provide more security but require duplicating management efforts and often have empty data repositories. Hybrid cloud/on-premise solutions have similar issues and still require separate storage and management. The best option is an on-premise, file system integrated solution that leverages existing files, systems, processes and controls rather than requiring new infrastructure and management.
