Infographi​c: Young Profession​als & Risky Tech Behavior

Based on the 2011 Cisco Connected World Technology Report, BACKGROUNDCHECK.ORG have compiled an infographic taking a look at the risky tech-related behavior young professionals engage in (in terms of device and password management, extreme internet behavior, and lost or stolen devices).

Infographic : Hypervisor Tug-of-War

 

We've described the battle between VMware and Microsoft as a hypervisor war going back as far as the first release of Microsoft Virtual Server. Unfortunately for Microsoft, that war was pretty ugly. On the one side, VMware had guns and cannons, and on the other side, Microsoft was throwing rocks. Ok, maybe it wasn't quite that bad, but you get the picture.

Fast forward and Microsoft has added a lot of weaponry with the introduction of Microsoft Hyper-V, the company's true hypervisor. And the Redmond giant's offering just keeps on getting better. But, so too does the ESX hypervisor from VMware. A virtual tug-of-war if you will.

Check out this latest Infographic coming from the folks at SolarWinds. 

Instead of depicting this as a hypervisor war, the InfoGraphic calls it the Hypervisor Tug-of-War.

The survey information clearly shows that VMware remains in control. However, there are some interesting data points in there as well.

• Survey responders believe that VMware is far and away going to be the most trusted private cloud vendor, with a whopping 76.9%
• However 76.1% believe Microsoft will close the functionality gap with VMware thanks to Hyper-V 3.0
• While trying to break beyond the barrier of VM Stall, it sounds like 56.8% of key applications will be deployed on a private cloud next year, while 57.7% have already moved beyond the 40% mark of their datacenter being virtualized
• 70% of end users still deploy more than one virtualization tool

And at the bottom, we see that VMware still commands a lead in the hypervisor tug-of-war.

Infographic: The Big Data Boom

Our age has moved into a complex situation. On the one hand, we are experiencing an ever-increasing level of home clouds and, while on the other hand, commodity data services are hungrily intensifying. In the midst of this chaos, big data and cloud computing have secured their bond, and their friendship has come forward. This has prompted a sigh of relief from the user group.

Data is a common problem in organizations, and hence they want to figure out how to get their enterprise data assets under control. The friendship mantra of big data and the cloud can be verified by analyzing the emergence of cloud computing with the processing power to manage exabytes of information. Being able to handle large amounts of information is a priority for big enterprises in the industry because organizations are trying to get their data under control. Nevertheless, learning from the great success of big data in the cloud world, many governments have also become active players in the cloud domain.

Emerging big data trends show that organizations are getting to the analytical states of their processes, gaining the ability to determine value, and getting to know what their data is doing in a particular state of their business. This also requires the combination of huge amounts of data into common, accessible points that provide mission-critical business intelligence (BI). Data warehousing and the ability to look the value of information, either in an operation state or in a decision support state, are also factors of prime importance.

Nearly all the latest market trends point to the notion of being agile and being customer responsive. Interestingly, not all big data cloud servers are the same. The technology that Microsoft provides is completely different from the technology that Google provides. The time it takes to push a big data project to completion inevitably depends on the technology used by the server. This leads us to the question of which service provider to choose and which to ignore.

To support an adaptive organization, big data is one of the critical elements. The ability of cloud computing to provision computer resources, storage, network capacity and, above all, do all this magic at a moment’s notice makes big data and the cloud the dearest of friends. There is a long way to go, but for now they seem to be friends for life.
