Tracking enterprise technology transformation
DataSynapse noted as a vendor for real-time infrastructure
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DataSynapse, the global provider of application virtualization software, announced today that Gartner listed it as a sample vendor for the real-time infrastructure (RTI) market in its recent “Hype Cycle for IT Operations Management, 2007†report. The report aims to separate “hype†from reality in the IT operations management space, which is crowded with vendors, solutions and processes that not only help enterprises achieve business results by delivering and managing mission-critical infrastructure and services, but also enable innovation. Gartner profiled RTI as an emerging technology that can significantly contribute to the success of IT operations management with its benefit rating of “transformational†and identified DataSynapse as a sample vendor.
There are several application virtualization vendors to consider, what you need to understand is the nature of the application, long term how you want to scale the capacity, and manage the infrastructure. Try them out, see which ones are right for you and consider that those Excel applications can be put on grid, but that Microsoft’s Excel services with their compute cluster might give you similar functionality with less impact to the application code.
In the meantime, think of the real time infrastructure as a concept of delivery, that being able to scale the infrastructure, respond to the business need is where you (your IT) makes the difference, how you empower IT to be a business enabler, and at the same time manage your costs will depend on your business, whether it’s outsourcing the desktop support to a fully provisioned solution where capacity is on demand; or most importantly putting the technical and non-technical processes/funding in place to come up with strategic virtualization/grid solutions which can accommodate the business needs.
