Understanding Game-Changing Emerging Storage Technologies  

Business demands on IT infrastructure are increasing while the pace of change accelerates.

Datacenters and Storage Models of the Future
Every new or recycled idea that comes along is going to be the ‘only way things are done in the future' according to some. This narrow view has been offered in the area of storing and managing information since modern computing began. The reality is much more messy. This BrightTalk session will look at evolving datacenters and how information is handled including the storage technologies employed. There will be different approaches that will be discussed as part of the presentation. Join Randy Kerns, Sr. Analyst with Evaluator Group, for this presentation. 

 
Introducing Eval(u)ScaleTM - New Product Evaluation Methodology
 
In response to IT Client requests, Evaluator Group has released Eval(u)Scale, a product evaluation methodology. Each product is reviewed within a specific technology area and rated “Exceeds Criteria”, “Meets Criteria” or “Area for Development” for each Evaluation criterion. Evaluation criteria are developed through IT-client engagements and an understanding of system usage. The definitions of the criteria and explanations of how products are reviewed can be found in the Evaluator Series Evaluation Guides, which are reflected in the Eval(u)Scale published in over 250 individual Product Briefs.
