Put this picture in your mind’s eye – It’s a beautiful sunny weekday and you’re sitting by a pool catching the sun’s rays and a cool breeze.  Strategically placed within arm’s reach beside you is some kind of fruity drink with a tiny bamboo umbrella in it.  You are working (yep, I said working!).  You...

Spring and fall seem to be “travel times” in the Analyst business, and quite a bit of that travel is vendor-related. The analyst role, as I see it, is largely a matter of synthesizing thousands of bits and pieces of vendor, industry, and customer-related information. The intent is to weave a cohesive fabric that accurately...

Virtualization Fog

For network managers, there was great news coming with the VMware vSphere 5.0 release, in the form of enhancements to the Virtual Distributed Switch (vDS.) In a particular, the vDS now supports Port Mirroring (commonly known as SPAN) in addition to (finally!) formally offering NetFlow support. This should go a long way in helping with...

New Research-n1

One of the hazards of being an Analyst is that it brings out your inner geek. In completing the latest research on “End-to-End Application Management in the Age of Cloud”, it was necessary for me to hole up with a gallon of coffee and a bag of chocolate-covered coffee beans and figure out what Cloud...

ladders and clouds

Long time, no blog, right? I’ve had plenty to keep me busy. I just finished up my most recent “End-to-End Application Management” research study, which extends the “end-to-end application management” concept to Public and Private Cloud.

One of EMA’s advantages in having a base in Colorado is our proximity to a number of thought leaders in identity management, and nowhere is this more evident than at conferences such as the Cloud Identity Summit, an aptly-named event held in recent years here in Colorado’s high country (nearly as close to the clouds...

As enterprises spend more on cloud options, a new market opportunity is forming: Cloud value management. Surprising, with all the fervor around cloud, that I got exactly ONE hit on Google for that exact term just now. Custon, a Dutch company, gets the credit. (Why am I not surprised this is a Dutch firm? Seems...

Quick note: CA announced that Clarity, their Project Portfolio Management offering, will use SalesForce.com’s Chatter network. Clarity is already available in an on-demand (SaaS) version. This is an interesting development given that CA also has built an in-house social networking platform for its ITSM suite, OpenSpace, which is also available as SaaS. I predict there...
