Remember when the Berlin Wall came down? How about the fall of the Soviet Union? More recently, it seems democracy has captured the imaginations of citizens across the Middle East and Korea. Okay, at least half of Korea. But my point is this: eventually, governments seem to naturally gravitate toward democracy—or at least some semblance [...]

Performance Measurement Lost—and FoundWhen was the last time you misplaced something? I’m not talking about your car keys, your mobile phone of the mate to your favorite pair of socks. I’m talking about something that can impact the success or failure of your business: Your ability to measure and monitor the performance of business-critical services. Over the last [...] |

Of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades: Why Close Doesn’t Count in ComplianceFor some reason, my fifth-grade teacher was entirely too fond of the saying: “Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.” Often, this response was elicited when I was trying to debate the veracity of an incorrect answer on some pop quiz or another. What a stickler. But there is a lot of truth in [...] |

Workloads, Geography and the Need for IWMInternational travel. You either love it or hate it. Myself, I enjoy the incredible new sights sounds and experiences. Interesting people. Exotic cuisine.

Keeping Productivity on TrackOn a recent business trip, I used commuter rail to get from my hotel to the client’s site. I love commuter rail. It always gets you from point A to point B on time. (Well, with very few exceptions anyway.) And I can let someone else handle the “driving” while I relax or catch up [...] |

Identity, Change and Politics: That’s AmoreWhatever you may think about change as a campaign slogan, there’s clearly more of it in store for Washington in the wake of this month’s mid-term elections. Much more. In January, more than 60 Congressional offices will be emptied out wholesale, then hastily re-occupied as new members and their support staffs scramble to find their [...] |

ZENworks 11—just in case you needed one more thing to be thankful for.It’s Thanksgiving Day and you’re at grandma’s house. Okay, I’m a little ahead of myself, but stay with me. The turkey is history and so are the Detroit Lions. So, what’s next? You could just sit there and watch Dallas lose, or you could excuse yourself, pull up a chair at grandma’s computer and catch [...] |

VMworld Europe. Was I In Copenhagen or Geneva?Earlier in October, I flew across the big pond to check out VMworld Copenhagen—the European version of VMworld San Francisco, which I blogged about on September 8th. As you may know, Copenhagen is quite a town. It’s a place where, if you’re not careful, you could wake up the next morning not quite sure where [...] |

How Do You Measure Something As Dynamic As a Cloud?In nature as in business computing, there are many types of clouds—and in both cases, clouds are in a constant state of change. Being able to monitor and measure what’s going on in the clouds can help you steer clear of extreme conditions. Several weeks ago, Novell launched its WorkloadIQ brand of products for the [...] |

Novell Operations Center—a New Name in the Name of ProgressOne of my favorite quotes is this: “Change is inevitable—except from a vending machine.” Well jokes aside, change is indeed inevitable, and it’s a sure sign of progress. Novell recently changed the name of one of its very strategic WorkloadIQ products, Novell Business Service Manager, to Novell Operations Center. Since you may not know what [...] |
