Multiply Your Green Buying Efforts Leveraging Platform Innovation

With today's consumers increasingly concerned about sustainability obligations, organizations are under constant pressure to ensure a low-carbon footprint supply chain in addressing customer needs, regulations and competitive realities. Organizations are increasingly adopting green buying not only as an obligation, but also as a tool to achieve a lean supply chain from an end-to-end perspective. Green Buying is fast emerging as a business imperative for achieving sustainability objectives within an organization's supply chain.

For evidence of savings from collaboration solutions, look no further than Polycom

Organisations looking for hard evidence of the bottom-line benefits of high definition (HD) video and voice collaboration need look no further than Polycom, Inc.
In late 2008, Polycom took steps to ensure its competitiveness in a tough economy, targeting cost centres and eliminating any travel that wasn't absolutely necessary. The company realized an immediate return, including a 30 percent reduction in airline ticket purchases. In the process, Polycom has dramatically intensified its reliance on its enterprisewide collaboration environment, arguably the most extensive in the world. That environment allows Polycom's 2,600 employees, partners, suppliers and even customers to engage with one another through any combination of voice and video communications, content sharing, presence awareness and instant messaging.

Meeting the Challenges of Disaster Recovery

Data is widely considered to be one of an organisation's greatest assets, but in recent years, the need to access data at nearly any time of the day or night has grown from a wish-list item to a must-have reality. In fact, the health of your businesses depends on it. It's not just internal users who demand constant access to data. Many organisations place a large percentage of their data in customer- and partner-facing line-of business applications. As a result, when a server goes down, it may not affect just your organisation, but customer and partner organisations as well, with the potential result of both lost revenue and a diminished reputation.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition

The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 (ABR10) family of software solutions allows organisations to create server and workstation backups: either for rapid restoration in the case of a disaster, or for testing and development purposes. The ABR10 software portfolio provides backup capabilities for OS, data, applications, and settings, and the ABR10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition extends this technology to Virtual Machines (VMs). Product functionality is based on Acronis' patented disk-imaging and bare-metal restore technologies which can back up an image of an entire system and settings, and enable rapid restoration of the entire system or selected files. The growth of server virtualisation has necessitated specialised backup technology to address virtualisation-specific backup challenges and Butler Group is impressed with ABR10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition's ability to address these, particularly the range of options for managing the backup process, the licensing structure, the range of virtualisation platforms supported, and the introduction of deduplication capabilities to help with the optimisation of corporate storage.

How Deduplication Benefits Companies of All Sizes

Primary storage in small and large companies alike is growing at 50% - 100% a year. And, according to IDC research conducted in the second half of 2008, the amount of global digital data created and stored on a worldwide basis has increased over 3,000% in just three years. In addition, many multiple-site organisations are working to consolidate data assets along with system consolidations (including virtualisation) to create a less energy-intensive collection of assets that fit in a reduced physical space.

Hidden Costs of Virtualization

Virtualization has moved into the enterprise mainstream. Until recently, virtualization solutions tended only to be used to consolidate data center servers. However, that has changed and, today, virtualization is recognized as a technology that can provide substantial benefits to businesses of all sizes in all sectors of industry. What is virtualization? In simple terms, it is a technology that allows a single computer to act as multiple computers. In a virtualized environment, multiple virtual machines, each with its own set of virtual hardware, can run heterogeneous operating systems in complete isolation from each other on the same physical computer.

The Art of Teleworking

There is a new class of workers out there-working from their homes nearly autonomously. Some call them teleworkers, some telecommuters. Armed with remote access to their organization's network, with tollfree numbers, VPN's and mobile phones, they escape traffic jams, bad weather, and high fuel prices, and are able to find the right balance between personal and professional life.

When Legitimate Sites Threaten Your Network

The Internet has matured from a network of connected dial-up modems into a valuable platform for information exchange, global commerce, and workplace productivity. The World Wide Web as we know it today is a well-oiled machine, full of sophisticated, behind-the-scenes communications between browsers, Web servers and data stored on computers. This connected maze would amaze not only most home users but also most (non-IT related) corporate professionals if they truly understood it.

Email Archiving IT Manager’s Guide

Many information managers have concluded that basic, usually folder-based search-and-retrieval functions in their email applications are simply not enough to rise to the challenge, and a state-of-the-art-email storage facility with enhanced retrieval and management capabilities is the only viable solution.
