Mobile Device Management (MDM) is an increasingly important IT management discipline, particularly with the rise in mobile working and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon.
If IT leaders listened every time a vendor claimed it started a revolution in business technology, their heads would never stop spinning. Nonetheless, steady improvements in some technologies should provoke a re-examination of the current state of affairs.
Cloud APIs are emerging as a successful means of making cloud-based data centre resources and applications available to an array of web-connected devices in a flexible and cost-effective way.
Offering user companies, or tenants, access to shared databases, applications or operating systems, can optimise the use of these resources and minimise unnecessary capacity. But herein lies the problem. Offering multiple tenants access to the same database or application raises the possibility of them seeing, and using, each other’s data, either through accident or malice.
The debate over public cloud versus private cloud continues to rage within the IT industry. As most organisations take an ad-hoc, evolutionary approach to new technologies, the environment over the next five years is likely to be a mixture of the two.
As IT leaders try to get the best performance and efficiency out of their virtualised environments, they're realising the need for virtual networking, and often a whole new networking architecture that's designed for virtualisation from the ground up.
Any IT professional who has heard “send it to my Gmail” echo across the office will know how impossible it is to keep employees from using outside applications for work when those provided don’t quite meet their needs.
This year it is the turn of Big Data. Organisations are no longer just capturing ever larger volumes of data, they are hoping to act on it in as near real time as possible.
Bring your own device (BYOD) is now ubiquitous among enterprises. For IT leaders this has meant developing and maintaining effective policies and practices to keep the organisation secure and efficient, while managing a proliferation of devices.
The old rules are changing and with it the old career paths. As business leaders become more tech savvy, infrastructure and applications can be outsourced. Many technologies, even business processes have become commoditised.
Virtualisation is mainstream, with virtualised servers, storage, networking and software featuring in most enterprise IT departments. Applications and workloads are assigned to virtual machines (VMs) and moved from machine to machine as a matter of course, and as a result, deploying physical servers is now the exception rather than the rule.
When faced with a multitude of priorities and problems, there are few things CIOs like more than killing several proverbial birds with a single stone.
Virtualisation has swept the enterprise and its success has driven new innovation in hardware, software and security practices, as IT organisations demand greater performance, manageability and security from their virtualised infrastructure.
Mobile computing in all its complex, multifaceted, unstructured indigestible glory is on the plate of every IT leader and IT department. It can’t be avoided, and who would want to do so?
Today's sophisticated cyber-criminals are finding new ways to plant their crimeware into business clients. The result is the most insidious and sophisticated malware that security experts have seen to date - and IT management must protect against.
