In the quest to address climate change, companies are becoming increasingly aware that in addition to decarbonizing their operations and value chain, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) must be part of any net zero strategy. This aims to address their hard-to-abate emissions alongside emissions reductions. However, the reality on the ground is that CDR is still a nascent industry with a large number of small technology developers, most of whom are in the R&D or early deployment phase. Investing in some projects can feel more like a long-shot R&D investment than an informed procurement decision. By diversifying investments across a range of nascent but already proven CDR technologies and projects, companies can reap significant benefits and unlock a positive business case today.

Now, more than ever, many organizations face immense challenges to maximize revenue. Inflation. Tighter budgets. Cost reallocations. Competitive growth opportunities. Whatever the reason, they demand highly available, customer-facing applications and services that rely on a high-performing and reliable underlying infrastructure. And they want it all without excessive spending on engineering resources. To achieve this goal, first, you need a single observability platform that informs how your underlying infrastructure impacts your application performance. Second, you need a cultural shift that embraces end-to-end observability—inclusive of people, processes, and tools. The ultimate goal is to achieve full-stack observability so you can detect and resolve issues quickly while minimizing impacts on your teams and customers. If you want to build, deploy, and operate high-performing services, while reducing high tooling and engineering costs, this ebook is for you. You’ll discover how to achieve application performance monitoring (APM) and infrastructure monitoring from a single observability platform that enables you to: Lessen revenue loss as a result of downtime. Reduce tool sprawl. Remediate performance issues quickly to minimize customer impact. Let’s get started.

Businesses are supporting new levels of diversity in device types, operating environments and work locations. With hybrid work dominating most organizations, the management and security of both corporate- and noncorporate-owned devices have become challenging, requiring close collaboration between IT and security teams. The rapid acceleration in the use of third-party SaaS applications delivered from an array of cloud service providers is adding further complexity. IT and security teams require broad management, prevention, detection and response capabilities that must span devices and operating environments often outside their control. This dynamic is driving many to look for convergence between management and security capabilities to improve collaboration, and to simplify implementation and ongoing management functions. IT and security leaders are therefore collaborating in strategy and purchasing decisions as they seek out more unified endpoint management (UEM) and security tools capable of providing visibility, assessment and mitigation of software and configuration vulnerabilities, which is currently difficult or impossible to achieve with existing mechanisms. Many organizations using desktop-as-a-service tools are actively researching adjacent technologies — including desktop security and management tools, security management tools and endpoint security tools — with an eye on collaboration and efficiency. In support of these growing trends, converged endpoint management and security options are emerging, enabling IT and security teams to efficiently manage and secure a growing number of devices and workloads. Take this brief survey and learn what’s driving converged endpoint management and security.

Hybrid cloud designs (where assets are stored both on-premises and in the cloud) are being increasingly embraced by the enterprise. Learn the 5 questions you should ask yourself when considering where to place workloads. Bonus: Learn what one question NOT to ask! Key take-aways: Which public or private cloud do you choose for specific enterprise data and computing functions? How do you work across all organizations in your business to meet unique needs? There may not always be one right answer, and today’s right answer may not be correct tomorrow. Hybrid cloud provides the flexibility you need for today and quickly make changes when you need to.

To say database-management systems (DBMSs) are widespread would be an understatement. Nearly every business stores critical data in systems that need to be managed, backed up, secured, and optimized for exceptional user performance. Relational database management systems (RDBMSs) alone account for 71.2 percent of all database model categories.¹ These RDBMSs include several popular systems, such as Microsoft® SQL Server®, MySQL®, Oracle® Database, and PostgreSQL®, which are used to store and serve data for everything from customer details, product inventory, and sales data to insurance tables, finance and stock information, and health records. Regardless of the DBMS in use, all need to be run on platforms that can provide exceptional performance, a good price/performance ratio, and strong security. Because of this variety of use cases, organizations might struggle to find useful performance metrics they can relate to their own DBMS environments. As a result, many organizations turn to industry-standard benchmarks to simplify the evaluation process prior to making a spending decision. Benchmarks can provide valuable insights, but they must be evaluated properly. In order to investigate the relationship between high benchmark performance and potential business value in the real world, Prowess Consulting dug deeper into what strong showings in industry benchmarks can mean for businesses deploying world-record servers. Because of its large market share and the number of world records Dell Technologies holds across a variety of databasemanagement-related benchmarks, we specifically looked at Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers.
