Is virtualisation just about green?
Given the
constant focus on virtualisation as a 'green' technology, you could be
forgiven for thinking it's manna from heaven for IT execs desperate to
reduce power consumption and carbon emissions.
While the technology undoubtedly boasts strong green
credentials, this increasingly is detracting from the real bottom line
business benefits: making companies more nimble, more productive, and
gaining competitive advantage whilst bringing down costs.
With a
well-managed virtualised environment, where business improvement
investments are easier and cheaper to make, the whole dynamic of the IT
department changes.
The budget
balance swings so that less is required for general upkeep and more is
available to spend on beneficial projects. As a result, IT becomes a
more strategic part of the business, not just a cost centre used almost
exclusively to keep systems running.

Small businesses 'in denial' about security
Many small and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs) "are in denial about
security", according to a recent survey.
The survey reveals that
many SMBs feel they are too small to be targets for
cybercriminals.
After sampling 500 IT decision-makers,
the report reveals that a third of small and
medium-sized businesses have been attacked more than
four times by cybercriminals in the last three years.
The research showed that a quarter of those attacked
took at least a week to recover.
Despite these figures, 44% think
cybercrime is only an issue for larger organisations and
believe it does not affect them. While 52% believe that
because they are not well-known, cybercriminals will not
specifically target them
