Organizations are charging ahead with investments in cloud and analytics to deliver agility, scalability and cost savings. With computing power advancements and continuous growth of data, cloud provides the elastic workloads and flexibility required for modern business. However, the environment of flexibility and choice that cloud provides also creates complexity and challenges. In this white paper, learn how organizations are applying expertise and using the latest methods to move analytics to the cloud, including: • Why are organizations moving analytic work to the cloud? • What are the key challenges and misconceptions? • How do IT leaders provide choice while maintaining control?

Over the last decade, the enterprise analytics landscape has dramatically transformed. Vendors have come and gone, and platforms have continually expanded their offerings to include new functionality and keep pace with the demands of the businesses they serve. Originally envisioned as an IT-centric tool for enterprise reporting, analytics today has evolved into a business solution—empowering a range of users across every line of business, including front-line employees, field personnel, and executives. The rise of self-service analytics over the past decade has played a key role in promoting a data-driven mindset within every business function. However, this practice is limited to a skilled few. The vast majority of business professionals lack the time, analytical skills, or inclination to conduct their own analyses, and fail to effectively use analytics on a day-to-day basis. The result? Despite decades of investments, BI adoption at most organizations remains at 30%. The failure of e

Why HyperIntelligence? Today, despite massive investments in data, IT infrastructure, and analytics software, the adoption of analytics continues to lag behind. In fact, according to Gartner, most organizations fail to hit the 30% mark. That means that more than 70% of people at most organizations are going without access to the critical information they need to perform to the best of their abilities. What’s stopping organizations from breaking through the 30% barrier and driving the pervasive adoption of intelligence? Simple. The majority of existing tools only cater to users who are naturally analytically inclined—the analysts, data scientists, and architects of the world. The other 70%—the people making the operational decisions daily within a business—simply lack the time, skill, or desire to seek out data and intelligence on their own. HyperIntelligence helps organizations operationalize their existing investments and arm everyone across the organization with intelligence. Whether

"Healthcare organizations have significantly more to consider than the average business when it comes to network and device security. Concern over code modification, key compromise, password-based vulnerabilities and man-in-the-middle attacks have caused hospital CIOs and CISOs to rethink their security strategies and investments. The threat to these devices has even been assigned its own term: medjacking, a shortened form of “medical device hijacking.” Download this white paper for five best practices to mitigate threat and attacks that can put lives, patient trust and the growth of the healthcare organization at risk.

As firms spend 76% of their IT budget on maintenance and support, they will naturally invest in BSM solutions that will reduce costs, enable ITIL, and provide an optimal ROI.

The tipping point has arrived. Large enterprises are planning their next-generation datacenters around flash-based storage, and for good reason. Flash arrays provide read and write performance that is orders of magnitude faster than spinning media at a total cost of ownership that is on par with disk and will soon be lower. The benefits not only include improved application performance, but more consistent performance, lower latency, reduced storage footprint, streamlined storage administration, and lower operating costs. These advantages are too beneficial to your business to ignore. That’s why flash is becoming the standard for new storage investments.

Organizations looking to implement desktop and app virtualization traditionally play a guessing game where storage is concerned. When considering local and physical storage, determining what would be necessary for the virtualized world is difficult and can be overwhelming. This is especially true when determining how virtualizing desktops will impact the storage architecture. Organizations risk over sizing their environment thereby wasting CapEx, or under-sizing and potentially ruining the user experience. Software-defined storage solutions, such as VMware Virtual SAN, provide simplified solutions with high performance data stores that offer fine-grained scalability with linearly-predictable performance as demand grows. Dell’s validated and certified desktop virtualization solutions incorporate vSphere and Virtual SAN, and provide a complete end-to-end solution that allows companies to grow and expand without large capital investments in SAN hardware.
