Enabling DevOps with Application Release Automation

Doug Turner, CEO of Mantis Technology Group, talks about how his team built Pulse Analytics, a sentiment analysis solution using text analytics tool running on SAP HANA One. Hear how his team strengthened the capabilities of this solution while simplifying their data architecture by replacing 20 servers with only 1 SAP HANA One instance.

Most SMB's use a single point product for each of the different perceived security threats. This has worked in the past, but a far better approach is layering multiple products in a stouter defense.

Ever feel like you spend more time converting security information from one format to another, than actually connecting the dots hidden within it? The Collective Intelligence Framework (CIF) is a data processor for pulling in and normalizing out all these threat intel sources into a single combined dataset.

Learn how to...
Get CIF up and running
Connect intelligence sources to CIF
Leverage CIF with your existing security controls

When a business rolls out IT systems to run its operations, the basic foundation on which the system is built is the network that carries the traffic. To be able to solve problems in such a complex environment, it's vitally important to know what is happening on the network. Whether it's the behavior of the applications, behavior of the users or rogue elements that interfere with application delivery, knowing what is going on is half the battle of solving the problem.

This short video will discuss why having a well-designed workflow for identifying suspect traffic patterns and finding even the smallest volume of interesting data can make the difference in finding the culprit of pesky performance problems.

70% of the success of an IT project relies on the effective user adoption of the new tool or solution implemented. Let us introduce HP ART - a solution which changes the way users adopt and learn enterprise software. The webinar includes analyst observations, HP customer use-cases and a highly visual tool demonstration.

Virtual environments are excellent at providing an elastic, scalable environment for a myriad of workloads to thrive. Unfortunately, it's often too easy to over-provision resources or leave discarded and unwanted workloads, fostering a constrained environment due to virtual sprawl. However, did you know that this can also negatively impact the performance and growth of your critical workloads? In this session, you will learn to:

- Identify virtual sprawl using advanced technical methods
- Dig into performance related issues that can be caused by imbalanced or top heavy provisioning
- Understand how to translate real world sprawl data into a solid business case for change
- Exercise recommended practices to avoid falling deeper into the virtual sprawl trap

During this 60 minute webinar we will go over how the BHOLD Suite and the Analytics module can create rules and manage the authorization process. We'll discuss how rule-based testing of access data can be used if organizational policies are being followed, as well as the automated "what if" impact analysis.

Automating your data center is the easiest way to free up your IT department's time to work on more strategic projects. Tune in to this webinar as Jeff Hart from M2 Technology discusses how automation can be the key to increase efficiency while reducing your IT costs.

Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.

With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
- Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
- Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
- Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
- Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
- Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy
- Test and validate the DR failover process without taking primary production systems offline
