Beyond BI to EI: Why Big Data and Hadoop may be Keys to Building Next Generation “Big APM” and “Enterprise Intelligence (EI)”

I am in the process of briefing with vendors and developing survey questions for a research study to be kicked off in the very near future. The survey-based research, entitled “Integration Technologies for Cloud Services”, will be followed later this year by an EMA Radar Report on a similar topic. There can no longer be any doubt that Cloud computing has come into its own as the biggest game changer since the Internet. Nevertheless, as with any radical change in application architecture, it also introduces a host of new management challenges. One significant challenge relates to integration across the various permutations ...

Semantics matter: the troubled world of IT terminology

Semantics matter: the troubled world of IT terminology

On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747 passenger aircraft collided on the Spanish island of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, in the deadliest accident in aviation history. 583 people perished. Like the Titanic, a multitude of causes converged into the disaster. A terrorist bomb at a another airport, an overstretched small regional facility, a flight crew pressed for time, fog … but one theme recurs in discussions of the accident: language. Think about the word “takeoff.” Many of us are air travelers, and we might think we know what that word means. But the fact is, unless you are a pilot, ...

Kaseya Connect

I spent three great days last week with Kaseya and its user community. The experience was eye-opening in many ways. A bit of background: EMA considers Kaseya a systems management provider, and as such they are usually covered by my colleagues Steve Brasen and Torsten Volk. However, this year for a couple of different reasons we decided I would go to their annual event, and I’m glad I did. Kaseya has a rich ecosystem of customers and vendors, and in particular serves the Managed Services Provider (MSP) market. MSP is a broad term, and I can’t say I understand the MSP market ...

Okay so networking fabric wars, OpenFlow, and SDN startups are all the buzz in the networking space right now and while it is fun to speculate and debate the topic, it is time to get back to basics. Sure we need to decouple the network plumbing from its current rigid, fixed, physical design, but let’s...

A lot my coverage over the past couple of years has been focused on the increasingly interesting mix of applications that get delivered over enterprise networks and the impact that has on how networks are being planned and operated. This cocktail has become increasingly volatile, as latency-insensitive traffic loads are mixed with a growing number...

I know what you’re thinking – you just read the title and thought, “Microsoft as a serious player in the mobile space … suuuuure!”  Bear with me, though – this really does make sense. So much industry buzz has been on the consumerization of IT that vendors have lost sight of the criticality of mobile...

Over the last several days, major enterprise technology vendors such as Dell, EMC, HP, IBM and Oracle have all made announcements relative to what many consider to be groundbreaking progress in rolling out a new generation...

One of the items on the research agenda for this year is IPv6. In almost every survey we launch, we have a question about IPv6 to keep a pulse on what is happening in and around the topic. To date while the topic is acknowledged and recognized as something that needs to be addressed, we...

A paradigm shift driven by a maturing user community, new technology, economics and valuable data types is moving us towards a hybrid data ecosystem that strives to match the workload and...

Even people outside of the technology sector recognize the Cisco brand. Cisco has a very strong global presence that transcends the technology sector. However as one dives deeper into the network technology sector, especially into the networking infrastructure segment the names of these technology vendors may not transcend much beyond the target user group within...
