Content virtualization is a new approach to solving the problem of data sprawl in enterprises. It separates content from underlying data silos and captures it in a secure common index to improve access, availability and security. This allows users to access all relevant data regardless of location through a single search. Content virtualization delivers benefits like faster decision making, improved productivity, efficiency gains, and simplicity by unifying the enterprise's content. The Virtual Index Architecture is a content virtualization solution that uses cross-indexers and plug-ins to index content across applications and data sources without heavy integration. This provides a way for enterprises to start virtualizing their content from any two sources and scale up over time.

2011 special edition - converged infrastructureclansmandresin
This article discusses how three companies have benefited from deploying a converged infrastructure to manage their data centers. A converged infrastructure combines servers, storage, networking equipment, and management software into a single offering. This allows organizations to consolidate resources, improve efficiency, scale more easily, and gain security and disaster recovery benefits. The article profiles how Walz Group saw growth in data storage needs and deployed a converged infrastructure for better resource utilization. A university also improved utilization and simplified management. A healthcare provider reduced costs through consolidation and improved disaster recovery.

Social intranets drive cross-department collaboration and have proven successful for customers like Alcatel-Lucent, Bupa, and CSC in boosting productivity, engagement, and information sharing. Jive offers an all-in-one social intranet solution with features for mobile access, Outlook integration, and prescriptive services.
What Possible Computer Disasters Can Be Associated With "Cloud Computing"?
white paper
This document discusses possible computer disasters associated with cloud computing. It begins by defining cloud computing and related terms. Physical disasters at datacenter locations housing cloud infrastructure, such as natural disasters, terrorism, and hardware failures, pose risks to cloud services. Technical issues with cloud services and applications can also cause disruptions for users. Overall, network or system downtime that prevents access to cloud resources is the most impactful type of disaster for end users of cloud computing. The document provides examples of outages and errors experienced by major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Google to illustrate these potential problems.
This document discusses concerns around controlling data in the cloud and outlines potential solutions. The key concerns discussed are:
1) Lack of control over data in the cloud due to issues around transparency, auditability, third-party data control, and contractual obligations.
2) Availability concerns around cloud outages and single points of failure impacting critical applications and data.
3) New security problems that may emerge from increased data collection and analysis enabled by cheap cloud computing resources.
The document argues that advances in trusted computing and encryption techniques have the potential to address these concerns by extending control and ensuring integrity from enterprises into the cloud, while still allowing cloud participants to benefit from shared data and resources.

This document debunks several myths about software-defined infrastructure (SDI). It summarizes that SDI is not the same as virtualization alone, but rather is a full infrastructure ecosystem that includes virtualization. It also explains that SDI can improve security through custom policies based on workload parameters rather than network components. Additionally, SDI does not leave legacy infrastructure behind but rather incorporates both legacy and virtualized resources under one manageable system. SDI also does not replace hardware entirely but rather virtualizes hardware capabilities to improve flexibility and lower costs.

It’s called Content Virtualization and, as the name
implies, it’s based on the ideas that have made
other kinds of virtualization so popular: resources
on demand, distributed architectures and agile
infrastructures.
Content Virtualization promises to transform
information management without ripping out
existing resources, without massive investment
in new data stores, and without asking users to
change behavior.

Content Virtualization is the logical extension of
the virtualization boom – and might be the first

alongside IT department benefits.
