How to boost IT efficiency by 75% and create time for innovation

By
Ever have one of those days where you feel like you’re just running to stand still, like you’re on a treadmill cranked too high and can’t be shut off? Too often this is what working in IT is like now!

Big data. Mobile. Cloud. These intense forces are reshaping IT environments. The result? More systems and applications to manage than ever.

According to IDC research, the average number of Virtual Machines per physical server is predicted to double between 2008 and 2016. The percentage of data center IT operations costs spent on staff is up 40% in the last 5 years. On average, a substantial majority of IT budgets gets eaten up by maintenance — in other words, running to stand still.

Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency
The problem, of course, is that if you’re working hard to just stand still, you’ll eventually fall behind. IT organizations have become very focused on Improving IT staff productivity and operational efficiency, as well as implementing common tools, services, processes across cloud and non-cloud environments.

A growing number of forward-thinking IT organizations are aggressively investing in automation and orchestration solutions. They recognize that expanding automation and orchestration initiatives is a key stepping stone to achieving many other priorities, like accelerating cloud initiatives.

By orchestrating IT processes — coordinating automated tasks and activities across teams, tools, and environments — organizations reduce errors and improve consistency and reliability. They can also enable their team to deploy new infrastructure faster while responding more quickly to issues. A majority of IT organizations have reduced task and process execution time by 50% or more, and many achieve greater than 75% efficiency gains.

These are clearly valuable benefits in their own right for the time and money saved. But automation and orchestration offers an even greater strategic advantage: it relieves staff from executing time-consuming manual tasks and instead lets them focus on other, more innovative initiatives.

Managing IT with less hands-on, manual intervention across the organization helps break the tread mill run!

Tips for a Happy Marriage

By
Marriage Boundaries You probably got married as friends, but then found yourselves running into difficulty because you each had your own way of living and doing. You came from one family, and your partner came from another family, and those families were different. Your job as a couple is to create some boundaries and rules that will guide you in your marriage. But if you’ve never created any rules before, and you or your partner don’t like rules and boundaries, it won’t be an easy task. Who is the Leader? You are equal partners making decisions in marriage. Responsibilities must be divided up. You need policies, procedures, and rules in order to work cooperatively as well as independently. You will enjoy working together as you know each other better and gain confidence in each other’s decision-making ability. Developing faith and trust takes many months. Forging a new way of life from your different backgrounds takes time and patience. Remember, you are equa...

Can Nightmares Cause Death? Spirit Possession? Mental Illness?

By
A lot of the research on nightmares suggests these events test the strength of one’s mind. If the mind is not strong, nightmares can take hold with greater force and the torment can extend beyond one’s dreams. Dr. Patrick McNamara of the Boston University School of Medicine looks at nightmares in a modern clinical context that also takes into account the history of dream phenomena in many cultures. He connects nightmares with a world of malevolent spirits. Spirit Possession Some people who experience frequent nightmares, both today and throughout history, also show signs in waking life of mental illness and even what may be seen as spirit possession. Dr. McNamara seems unabashed in speaking about spirit possession. “Nightmares very often involve supernatural characters that attack or target the dreamer in some way. I mean monsters, creatures, demons, spirits, unusual animals, and the like,” Dr. McNamara said in an interview with Boston University’s alumni publicat...
