Control your data centre with centralised management software Distributed enterprises and network operating centres require powerful, centralised, and remote control of computer systems, serial-based devices, and power distribution products such as UPS and intelligent power strips. This white paper explains how to achieve secure access to any server or network device from a single interface. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=1728 Clusters, Grid and Blade Computing - Console Management in the Data Center With the current shift away from large, centralized computer systems to decentralized, dispersed networks of smaller computers, efficient and cost-effective network management, remote and/or local, is critical to today’s 24/7 businesses. Read this white paper to learn more. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=1729 Optimise the efficiency and security of data centre operations with virtual media To ensure non-stop delivery of essential business services to users across and beyond the enterprise, IT data centers require constant, diligent management. Virtual Media addresses the issues of operational efficiency and security by allowing servers to access CD-ROMs and other storage media. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=1731 How to select a KVM over IP system to assist with HIPAA compliance Read this white paper to explore the Hub and spoke failover architecture, virtual media, exit macros and other security elements you should insist on in a KVM over IP switching system for your health care network. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=1732 The facts about KVM over IP, bandwidth and video This paper explores how to get high-resolution video without the need for increased bandwidth through a KVM over IP system. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=1726 Improve business continuity for the remote office Remote System availability is critical to maintaining business continuity. Companies today are considering whether they can cost-justify complete infrastructure redundancy across multiple sites for the sake of improved business continuity. Read this white paper to see how you can improve business continuity. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=1727 Global Managment System GMS provides IT managers with all of the tools necessary to centrally configure, monitor, and manage a Silver Peak-enabled Wide Area Network (WAN). It comes as a standalone network appliance with an integrated SQL database, ensuring easy setup and maintenance in any enterprise environment. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/solution_summary?id=242 How to Scale a WAN Optimisation Solution There are numerous factors that affect the scalability of a WAN acceleration solution, from hardware architecture to ease of use. This paper identifies the top 10, and provides guidelines for overcoming scalability challenges in real-world enterprise environments. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=240 Better Business Continuity through WAN Acceleration As companies become more reliant on business critical information, it becomes increasingly imperative to protect resources against unexpected loss. Silver Peak’s WAN acceleration solution facilitates disaster recovery, making it an essential component of most enterprises’ business continuity. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=241 Overcoming Out of Order and Lost Packets Across the Wide Area Network This paper will discuss why packet loss and ordering is becoming a bigger problem in today’s WANs, and what can be done to overcome these packet delivery challenges. To achieve this goal, this document will integrate theory and practice. http://ithound.computing.co.uk/ithound/view_abstract?id=231
