Day three at the SIFMA conference, and several key themes have emerged – this year’s most urgent issues for financial services IT can be grouped under the following umbrellas:
Extreme Agility
If we now look at the rising expectations of the Facebook and GrandTheftAuto generation – and the…
SIFMA, day two. What have I learned? The Grand Theft Auto network incorporates the Cisco Nexus 7000. Operational features preventing human error-like blinking port lights to guide cable swaps are key.
What does this have to do with SIFMA? We all know how incredibly intense the world of banking has…
Apparently the Wall Street technology budgets are in rude health, that is if the array of attention-grabbing gimicks at SIFMA today are anything to go by. Nintendo Wiis; iPod Touch; young ladies in Pink Fairy costumes and our very own Dave Kirby will be thrilled to hear that one messaging…
As I gear up to attend and blog from this year’s SIFMA Technology Management Conference , I thought I’d take a moment between trips to the shops to find something comfortable to wear in this 100 degree heat to blog about some of the trends and top-of-mind issues I…
Virtualisation in the data center clearly requires management…and in particular it heightens the importance of clear and precise technology or business service context – see for example Does B-hive Acquisition Make VMware a Cloud Vendor? in which James Staten, principal analyst with Forrester Research, “lauds another feature of B-hive’s…

Back in the early 90’s only 10% of the operational expenditure involved in running a data centre was people , by 2001 it was 30% and today this has risen to around 50% driven both by escalating numbers and scarcity and hence cost of skilled staff.
That’s a significantly increased number of expensive, skilled folk filling war-rooms whiteboards with application topologies and system behavior diagrams in an effort to fix outages faster, plan for safer changes and remove configuration time bombs from their environment.
And what happens to all that work?
How do you bring together Tideway’s exciting mission to automate the world’s data centres with fun and also saving the planet Sound tricky…well…some would argue that we already do something for enhancing the fun factor in Data Centre Operations…and in the context of data centre consolidation and…
This article plays directly to one of Tideway’s strengths as a product that can not only automate and institutionalize knowledge that is currently riskily resides in the heads of IT personnel, but secondly is doing so for intelligence that spans the tiers of the application infrastructure…
