Windows Server 2008 R2's Remote Desktop Services combines terminal services and VDI to bolster endpoints and facilitate management. But it's not perfect. Read about all its highs and lows. Confusion still swirls around the catch phrase "cloud computing." Adding "public" or "private" to that can be further dizzying. Clear the air on cloud computing terms and how they relate to you, and then follow this phased approach to install a private cloud.

at all times. The three major subsystems - Data Integration Services, Decision Repositories, and Decision Services - are part of an information supply chain. Data starts in raw form, goes through transformations, storage, distribution, and packaging until it reaches the final consumer. All three are needed to support pervasive BI.

Pervasive BI exposes a need that was often not present in traditional BI - SLAs in all three subsystems. This is because the front-line user has...

for organizations to take advantage of advanced storage services, such as thin provisioning, deduplication and snapshots.

As a result, storage configuration and management of virtualization environments is far from simple. Another challenge common to virtual environments is managing virtual machine lifecycles through lab and production. The ease with which virtual machines can be created and deployed creates an opportunity for faster development cycles. However, this same...

Service-oriented architecture is clearly the gateway to step improvements in IT solution development, but it requires more than just a new approach to how IT works with business users. It calls for a radically different approach to IT governance.

Accenture observes that while most leading companies' IT organizations are well on the way to adopting service-oriented architecture (SOA) capabilities, many find their...
