However, some PR agencies that are small and nimble, with a GenY mindset, are already thriving and gaining ground. Some are creating practices exclusively around social media and are developing and influencing relationships with key bloggers.
Many larger PR firms also have jumped on board the...
CEO Joe Tucci said for what must be the umpteenth time Tuesday that EMC has no intention of parting with its roughly 84% majority stake in virtualization leader VMware. The occasion was EMC’s first analyst day in a dog’s age. EMC has been under pretty constant market pressure since VMware IPO’d 20 months ago to divest its position on the theory that the two companies would be more valuable split up. Tucci, however, thinks "We will get more traction and more opportunities doing it the way we're doing it."
Cloud computing is one of Gartner’s top 10 strategic technology trends for 2009 – #2, right behind virtualization. Analysts say the economics of cloud for customers are truly compelling.
Having used both sites for about two weeks, there is still a great deal I am learning to do with both Ulitzer and Ning, but a reader asked if I would do a quick comparison, so I will.
VMware has cut an OEM deal to integrate HP Discovery and Dependency Mapping software into its vCenter software as a virtual appliance next year when vCenter’s ConfigControl is available. Users will be able to manage both physical and virtual machines off the same console. Meanwhile, HP...
Citrix’ free XenServer 5.5 is available for unlimited production deployment.
Since Citrix set XenServer free two-and-a-half months ago, it says there have been 100,000 downloads. The update includes centralized multi-node management, built-in storage, full live motion, consolidated b...
Centrify, the place where Linux meets Active Directory, is pushing into – what else? – virtualization with the release Tuesday of Centrify Suite update 3. It supports heterogeneous virtualized data centers. And Centrify ain’t kidding when it says heterogeneous. The widgetry reportedly ...
Days after tying up with Haier Computer Group, the second-largest PC maker in China, so they can chase big government and educational contracts worldwide together, LG, the big Korean electronics chaebol, said it will put NComputing’s virtual desktop technology directly into its new net...
Well, look who Citrix has tied up with. Arista Networks where Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim retreated after he left Sun for the second time. Bechtolsheim started Arista with his buddy, Stanford professor David Cheriton; the two of them were the first investors in Google. Anyway, Cit...
In the tight economy, front-end engineers and front-end engineering can play a conspicuous role: good user experience, as the iPhone spectacularly demonstrates, means good business. At the 7th International AJAXWorld RIA Conference & Expo in just two weeks' time, the speaker lineup is as usual dripping with real-world expertise.
With an ever-increasing number of companies now buying computing, storage, and networking power as they need it from the cloud, it is hardly surprising that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series is going from strength to strength. The Call for Papers for the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, which will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA, on November 2- 4, 2009, is now open.
SYS-CON announces the Call for Papers for the 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo (GovITExpo), to be held October 5-6, 2009 in Washington, DC. Submissions are welcomed from exceptional speakers who are also Infrastructure, architecture, and software engineering experts who have first-hand experience in the development, procurement or implementation of IT for Government or Federal agencies.
Federal IT organizations across the DoD and IC are facing costly data storage and data processing challenges stemming from the vast amount of information they collect and analyze as a part of their mission. To effectively organize and utilize these growing information stores, enterprise applications must be capable of performing large-scale, data-intensive processing. Federal enterprise infrastructures supporting such applications are often inadequate to address these challenges, and IT organizations incur lost time and greater costs trying to scale resources to meet storage and computing demand.
SYS-CON Events announced today the latest event in its innovative series of real-world technology conferences, Government IT Conference & Expo, a two-day deep dive into the new wave of Internet-based technologies that are changing the way that Federal agencies leverage, procure and utilize IT. GovITExpo, which is being held October 5-6, 2009 in Washington, DC, builds on the success of SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo, the fastest-growing conference anywhere in the world devoted to the delivery of massively scalable IT as a service using Internet technologies.
The conference theme of the 8th International AJAXWorld RIA Conference & Expo, to be held September 22–23, 2009 in San Francisco, CA, is 'Good User Experiences Are Good Business.' The Call for Papers, which is now open, welcomes submissions from exceptional speakers with high-quality use cases of investing in user experience (UX) design to provide strong return on investment (ROI). Case studies from companies that have chosen to invest in UX and UI, with measurable benefits, are especially encouraged.
SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Conference & Expo Europe, held on May 18-19, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic, is the first major cloud event in Europe and is co-located with SYS-CON's Virtualization Conference Europe 2009. The next event is the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Santa Clara, CA, November 2-4, 2009, co-located with the the 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo.
SYS-CON Events yesterday announced that IBM WebSphere Director of Product Management Dr. Kareem Yusuf will deliver a keynote on cloud computing and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) at the upcoming SOA World Conference & Expo 2009 East (www.soaworld2009.com) June 22-23 in New York City.
