http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/solutions/green/?cm_mmc=agus_itmbitivv_20090810-usitv021-_-n-_-cs1-_-m Craig Smesler, of IBM, talks about how the cost of power and cooling for IT infrastructure is becoming a larger and larger concern for companies. This is a very relevant issue for storage, as much of what consumes our floor space is storage infrastructure. The solution? Products that allow them to reduce the capacity necessary to store, products that allow administrators to be more efficient and effective in how they manage that infrastructure, and products that just store things smart. As power and cooling and data center costs become more and more a part of IT infrastructures, by deploying greener products from IBM and Tivoli, companies achieve this and reduce overall IT spend.

Author: Casewise Added: Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:35:18 -0800 Duration: 0The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a framework of best practice approaches intended to facilitate the delivery of high quality information technology (IT) services. ITIL outlines an extensive set of management procedures that are intended to support businesses in achieving both high financial quality and value in IT operations. These procedures are supplier-independent and have been developed to provide guidance across the breadth of IT infrastructure, development, and operations.

Over the last decade, IT infrastructures have become exceedingly complex, resulting in a highly interconnected network of new and powerful technologies. In a world where IT budgets are shrinking and mergers and acquisitions are more and more common, how do you get the most value from your existing IT resources yet maintain agility? In this Podcast, with Kia Behnia, Chief Corporate Architect at BMC, find out how service automation can help you navigate the"perfect storm" of new technologies such as server virtualization, as well as legacy distributed and mainframe computing environments that support millions of transactions through multi-tiered applications. Discover the pain points that can lead a company toward service automation, and how you can benefit from not only from thinking tactically about holes that automation can plug, but also by looking at areas the enterprise that can get the biggest bang for the buck both in the near term and long term. Behnia talks about looking beyond the individual elements that currently exist in the data center or IT environment, and looking at the many ways that automation can help prevent critical human error in the highly interconnected environment. Finally, he outlines ways companies can get service automation right, and leaves us with a summary of the three most critical benefits of service automation.

It may seem obvious that planning pays. But for those CIOs and their staffs, managing an IT infrastructure often occurs in an environment where problems are moving targets. Many organizations have little time to plan ahead. But they must. You re not going to get there unless you have a plan, says Bob Stoddard, Intel IT Architect. He was on the team that molded Intel s IT plan starting in late 1990s. Almost a decade later, Intel s IT shop is seeing dividends from that plan in the form of lower TCO and improved client efficiency. vPro is really a beachhead for us in cracking the code to get closer to an end-to-end management solution, not just for the client, but across compute network and storage, says Prasad Rampalli, vice president of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group. vPro transcends clients all the way to the data center. In this podcast, Intel’s Josh Hilliker, Prasad Rampalli and Bob Stoddard discuss the role of planning and why IT architecture is crucial to success.
