Help Justify Datacenter Management Improvements
Closed: 14 Dec 2009, 11:59PM PT
If you haven't noticed, we're starting an ongoing series of cases here to develop interesting, engaging and useful discussions for our new sub-site, IT Innovations. We're looking for insights that might help IT managers stay informed and keep their operations competitive.
For this case, we're looking for engaging content and experts to be featured who can help educate IT decision makers on the management of mission-critical applications in datacenters.
The topics for this case will focus on datacenter management services and solutions. We're looking for at least 300 words in the form of a blog post that can serve as a discussion starter, and we'd also like to encourage commenting on the submitted insights. Appropriate topics for these discussions include:
- How do you effectively communicate datacenter priorities to non-technical managers?
- What datacenter management services can you not live without? How do you justify the costs?
- How do you assess datacenter priorities? Do you think there's a better way?
- How often do you review your datacenter management tools and compare them to alternative solutions?
These topics are not exhaustive, and you do not need to address all of these suggested conversations. We welcome additional proposals for alternative subjects, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
