Technical White Papers for IT Professionals

Unified Network Traffic Monitoring for Physical and VMware Environments

Creator: paul.sexton

Applications and servers hosted in a virtual environment have the same network monitoring requirements as applications and servers in a physical environment. For organizational and technical reasons, virtual and physical networks are often monitored independently, making it difficult for network administrators to have a single view of overall network activity. This white paper outlines an approach, based on monitoring network traffic, that delivers a unified view of network activity across virtual and physical components of the network.

Revamping Public Sector IT Procurement to Favor Success and Small Business

Creator: Roger Sessions

Why does the public sector use an IT procurement approach that has a long history of failure? Presumably the reason is that the public sector has yet to be offered a better solution.

So the process continues to be used, failure continues to be the result, and the same big companies that failed to deliver in the past are rewarded with new opportunities for failure in the future.

The Mathematics of IT Simplification

At every step in the system life cycle, errors accumulate at an ever increasing rate.
