HP BladeSystem Matrix: Building a Private Cloud

Many now look to the idea of “cloud computing” as their ideal future state. The cloud promises theoretically infinite resource pools onto which applications are deployed on demand. Clouds emerged first as a mechanism for Web and network computing, but have rapidly captured the imagination of enterprises and service providers as well. The cloud vision and the underlying demand for flexibility is essentially universal.

But what suits Web and network computing isn't necessarily what enterprises and service providers need. This Illuminata Spotlight discusses HP BladeSystem Matrix, a ready-to-run IT infrastructure, and its use as an out-of-the-box platform for private clouds suited to enterprise IT.

The Extended Sales Enterprise: Channeling Better Results

For organizations that rely primarily or entirely on an indirect sales force via the channel, resellers, distributors, alliances or partners, the de-centralized nature of sales management presents increased challenges in overall productivity. These obstacles represent both internal visibility into and control over channel performance, as well as external-facing support and enablement for both indirect selling partners and the end customers themselves. While Aberdeen Sales Effectiveness research frequently documents the best practices and technology adoption trends among high-performing direct sales teams, are these solutions and approaches equally robust enough to maximize revenue within a larger, dispersed marketing/selling ecosystem? Or instead, are there additional ways in which the channel can be uniquely empowered by the original vendor, OEM or producer to deliver substantial, accurately forecasted sales results?

Clients That Don't Segment Their Network Infrastructure Will Have Higher Costs and Increased Vendor Lock-in

Enterprises must optimize the design of their network infrastructure to meet the increasing demands of data, voice and video applications. To accomplish this task, architects must change the way that they think about the network. No longer is the network being designed as a single homogeneous entity, since there are too many variables to be considered at one time. The network must be segmented into smaller, logical pieces where all variables can be considered to achieve the business metrics and choose the best vendor.

Capitalism 4.0: The Birth of a New Economy in the Aftermath of Crisis -- Free Book Summary

In this summary you will learn
  • How the four phases of capitalism have evolved so far
  • How a confluence of cycles and trends led to the 2008 financial crisis
  • How misguided economic philosophies nearly destroyed the financial system
  • Why the world needs “Capitalism 4.0.”
Why you should read Capitalism 4.0

Capitalism is dead; long live capitalism. That's the central tenet of veteran business journalist Anatole Kaletsky's instructive, perceptive tome. Global capitalism has served humanity pretty well over the centuries, and it has survived by changing with the times. The aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and the near collapse of the world's financial system demand a major revamp of free market thinking. The new version, which Kaletsky posits as the fourth in capitalism's history, will take its lessons from the past and adapt them to harness market forces in the 21st century. getAbstract recommends his thorough recap of what's happened and his vision of what probably will happen - including economic recovery - to all those looking for a cogent handle on the economic future.

Empower Customers And iWorkers With On-Demand Customer Communications

Too many enterprises communicate with customers using antiquated approaches. After all, smart devices, pervasive video, and social media have given new power to customers and citizens -- allowing them to interact easily with customer service agents, pass information electronically, and complete business transactions on the run. In organizations with archaic approaches, stymied internal staff are not yet equipped or trained to communicate and support customers in these new ways. They wonder why their company is still wedded to paper, faxes, and static information exchange. Business process pros can help the business reinvent its customer communication processes and position IT to move from traditional batch communications to on-demand Document output for Customer Communications Management (DoCCM) that extracts, formats, and delivers content from enterprise apps and transaction systems to customers over multiple channels.
