IT Infrastructure Performance is Business Performance: Trends Analysis

Cindy Borovick, Program Vice President, IDC; Matt Sherrod, VP of Product Management, CA Technologies
IT infrastructure performance is indeed becoming a business performance issue. While the network management market is experiencing pressure from the extraordinary growth in volume and types of traffic, the bigger issue is a shift in focus to the user experience as the key performance indicator.

Based on the research conducted by IDC, service assurance for the user experience, the consumerization of IT, analytics, network topology expansion, and private and public cloud are key market drivers; and the relentless expansion and complexity of networks are requiring simplified network deployment and management tools in order to ensure satisfactory business delivery.

Join us for a webcast on August 14 with Cindy Borovick, Program Vice President for IDC’s Enterprise Communications and Datacenter Networks services, who will review IDC’s recently published, “Market Analysis Report for Network Management Software and Appliance,” focused on key trends that likely to continue to be market drivers in the coming years. She will share some essential guidance for buyers to consider as they address these market forces.

Matt Sherrod, VP of Product Management at CA Technologies, will join the webcast to discuss CA Technologies’ position in the market and plans to address the key trends as observed by IDC and the options available to IT organizations to address the realities of today’s challenges while ensuring their investments won’t become tomorrow’s technology sprawl.

  • Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

  • The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber Attacks with Unified & Collaborative Defenses

    Advanced Persistent Attacks (APTs) get most of the attention from the cyber security community because, as defenders, we want to be vigilant against the most insidious techniques. However, this unilateral mindset ignores a much less interesting reality. Generally, cyber criminals are as lazy as criminals in the “real world.” What do we mean by lazy? Attackers will use the “lowest common denominator” method against the widest range of IP addresses from the same source set of IP addresses - which means that sharing information about their methods with others, and implementing simple defenses are best practices.

    Adjusting your focus from the “shiny object” of APTs to those broad-based threats can help prioritize your own defenses and optimize your incident response program. Attend this webinar to hear directly from Jaime Blasco, Director of AlienVault Labs, on how you can:

    * Understand the common exploit methods of the “lazy attacker”
    * Review the benefits of a collaborative approach to threat intelligence
    * Prioritize defensive tactics and remediation activities
    * Implement a unified, simplified approach to threat management

  • The Impact of Application Performance and Availability on your Business Recorded: Jan 29 2013 46 mins
    “Supporting these applications requires skills we don’t have.”
    “Our applications are unstable.”
    “We had ten people on a 32-hour conference call.”
    “We can’t get less than 30-second response time.”

    Surprisingly, these comments weren’t dug out of a vault from interviews conducted with IT directors 5, 7 or more years ago. These concerns, these revenue impacting struggles were published in an Enterprise Management Associates (EMA™) research study conducted about APM in the IT Enterprise in November 2012.

    Why is ensuring optimal application performance still so elusive?

    Today’s IT organizations are discovering that managing modern, complex applications is an expensive, time-consuming and often frustrating proposition.

    Furthermore, it is only when customer expectations aren’t met that IT is on the front lines, yet, this EMA report finds that calls from users is still the most common way IT is alerted that applications aren’t performing as expected.

    Join the author of this study, Julie Craig, along with CA Technologies Jason Meserve as they discuss the research results and dig further into the conclusions in her paper, “The Impact of Application Performance and Availability on your Business – and Your Customers”.
  • Trends in Converged Infrastructure Management Recorded: Jan 21 2013 49 mins
