“While 3D design tools have been around for a while, the consumerisation of VR is opening-up visualisation options at an unprecedented rate. Visualisation has evolved to a level that allows designers to produce photorealistic images of products in natural environments faster and with more accuracy, enabling even faster time-to-market and allowing customers to experience the product for themselves – and all without real-world prototyping and modelling costs. This guide is designed to give you an overview of the latest developments in visualisation and introduce our new VR Centres of Excellence in Limerick, Cork, Paris, Frankfurt, Dubai, Santa Clara or Austin, where you can experience the benefits for yourself.” Rahul Tikoo Executive Director and General Manager Dell Precision

“Si les outils de conception 3D existent depuis quelque temps déjà, la consumérisation de la réalité virtuelle fait émerger des solutions de visualisation à un rythme sans précédent. La visualization a atteint un tel niveau que les concepteurs peuvent désormais créer des images photoréalistes de produits dans des environnements naturels avec plus de rapidité et de précision. Cela permet une commercialisation encore plus rapide et donne aux clients la possibilité d’expérimenter le produit par eux-mêmes, sans encourir les coûts réels de prototypage et de modélisation. Ce guide est conçu pour vous donner un aperçu des tout derniers développements en matière de visualisation et présente nos nouveaux centres d’excellence sur la réalité virtuelle, situés à Limerick, Cork, Paris, Francfort, Dubaï, Santa Clara et Austin, où vous pourrez découvrir les atouts de ces technologies.” Rahul Tikoo Directeur exécutif et directeur général Dell Precision

Efficiency is the name of the game. But is your IT organization winning or losing? Read more to learn how your IT organization is wasting time and energy protecting data.

Today, technology is all about enabling business. Organizations of many types and sizes are developing, upgrading or replacing mobile applications to reflect changes in the workplace. Across industries, employees are working more while mobile, using multiple devices. When they return to the office, they are capitalizing on more flexible work environments and approaches to work. Many organizations are facilitating this anytime, anywhere work with mobility initiatives that provide mobile devices or allow employees to use their own. They are also modifying workspace designs, creating mobile workstations and mobile “hot spots” to enable workers to easily connect to enterprise systems when they return to the office. Enabling employees to work better can help organizations boost productivity and improve customer service. The real challenge is to continue supporting new ways of working, now and in the future, without compromising security.

There are five ways to provision test data. You can copy or take a snapshot of your production database or databases. You can provision data manually or via a spreadsheet. You can derive virtual copies of your production database(s). You can generate subsets of your production database(s). And you can generate synthetic data that is representative of your production data but is not actually real. Of course, the first four examples assume that the data you need for testing purposes is available to you from your production databases. If this is not the case, then only manual or synthetic data provision is a viable option.

In today’s application economy, everyone is in the software business. Auto makers are putting Wi-Fi hotspots in their cars. Watches are trading gears for motherboards. Even soda fountains have evolved from dumb machines into instrumented devices with touch-screen user interfaces. This digital transformation is changing the way applications are developed, tested, moved through environments and released into production—and it’s putting new demands on IT teams with which they’re struggling to keep up. At a high level, this is because the application delivery systems and processes at many enterprises were put in place when IT only had to push out an annual or semi-annual release. But as market pressures and executive mandates have forced teams to deliver innovations faster and more frequently, a new set of development, testing, automation and customer challenges have appeared—acting as obstacles that stand between you and your digital transformation goals.

This paper examines enterprise-class snapshot technologies, discussing use cases for snapshots as well as classic challenges associated with using snapshot technologies in pure hard disk drive (HDD)–based arrays.

The 2017 EMEA & APAC Whistleblower Hotline Benchmark report was produced with data from companies of all sizes and industries across the region.

Our active and actively aging population is the dichotomy fueling significant growth for implantable medical devices. Innovations focused on mobility, engagement and quality of life are directly targeting this growing population. The implantable medical device industry is poised to capitalize on these unique needs, while simultaneously meeting unprecedented cost pressures. It is time for manufacturers to seek expertise in inventory management and logistics for greater visibility, control and profitability. For implantable medical device manufacturers to be as active and healthy as the patients they serve, their future depends on the ability to differentiate products — not only by price, but through cost, service and documented outcomes. New trends in personal health tracking keep patients moving, and data collection will similarly improve the health of your business.

BIG-IP devices have long been a tool for applying "rolling upgrades" to the applications and systems that sit behind the BIG-IP device. With Live Install, this "stage->reboot->go live" sequence can now be applied to the BIG-IP device directly, creating a rolling upgrade scenario like those of the application systems behind it. Live Install also enables snapshot versioning for future versions of the BIG-IP system, a critical feature for both production and testing environments.

VMware® Horizon Mirage™ is a layered image management solution that separates a PC into logical layers that either IT or the user own and manage.
