IBM Endpoint Manager for Server Automation (Overview)Kimber Spradlin
IBM® Endpoint Manager for Server Automation enables users to perform advanced automation tasks across servers, including task sequencing—without the need for programming skills. This product offers a rich set of prebuilt automation scripts and enables users to create and re-use their own automation flows.
Symantec ApplicationHA, Symantec’s high availability solution for VMware virtual environments, provides customers the ability to confidently virtualize their business critical applications. The latest version of Symantec ApplicationHA extends the existing capabilities for disaster recovery with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager integration and provides a dashboard to monitor and manage hundreds of applications within VMware vCenter Server.
This is the first post in my series about the new features in Windows Server 2008 R2. As in my series about the new features of Windows 7, I will update the articles when I learn about new features. I will discuss some of the new features in more detail soon. Essentially, the term "virtualization" covers three different technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2: Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, and Presentation Virtualization. Server Virtualization is based on Hyper-V 2.0, which will get quite a few interesting new features. The virtualization technology ehind Desktop virtualization, i.e., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is also Hyper-V. This is probably the most important new feature in Windows Server 2008 R2. Presentation Virtualization is nothing but the good old Terminal Server. Technically, I find it a bit odd to use the term "virtualization" in this context, but from a marketer's point of view, it probably makes a lot of sense. Note that Microsoft renamed the "Terminal Services" as "Remote Desktop Services" in Windows Server 2008 R2.
Package, Stream, Manage. Application virtualiization isolates applications to create a conflict free environment with manageability as the cornerstone to successful service delivery in large organizations. With App-V, deploy applications in seconds to thousands of computers automagically.
LTE Testing - Network Performance, Security, and Stability at Massive ScaleIxia
Test LTE/4G networks and devices against the behavior of millions of users, calling, texting, streaming, emailing, spreading malware, and more. BreakingPoint CTM products allow you to conduct massive-scale LTE/4G testing quickly and cost-effectively.

Windows Accelerate IT Pro Bootcamp: App-V (Module 6 of 8)Intergen
We ran the "Windows Accelerate IT Pro Bootcamp" one day hands-on workshop in early June 2014. These eight modules were designed to get IT managers, project managers, sysadmin and devops up to speed with the new Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. The bootcamp focused on how to move off earlier versions of Windows and Office to a modern desktop and tablet platforms with the latest security and mobility technologies.

Moving Beyond Migration: Reinventing Process in the CloudPeter Coffee
Cloud computing should do much more than merely relocate the current delays, risks, and costs of application development. Peter Coffee, former Technology Editor of eWEEK, explores the status and prospects of the multi-product, multi-vendor cloud, where complementary services offer proven development leverage and enable next-generation business processes. Presented to 2010 Convention of Chinese-American Engineers and Scientists Association of Southern California on 24 April in San Gabriel, CA.
