Storyboard: Develop a PCI DSS Compliance Strategy

Adherence to the PCI Standards for Data Security protects client data and mitigates the risks of lost income due to fraud and even loss of card processing privileges. But rather than waiting on financial institutions to direct strategy, enterprises must take ownership of their own strategy for protecting card data. This solution set will help you develop a strategy that addresses data security while keeping compliance efforts in line with external stakeholder expectations

Reduce Costs and Strengthen My Business with the Microsoft Partner Network

Don't be one of the many businesses that lose out on potential savings and benefits because you assume you don't qualify. Info Tech encourages you to check out the program. If you are an IT focused business, and you use Microsoft tools to create your service or solution then check it out. It doesn't cost you anything except a little bit of your time and the benefits can be literally enormous.

Solution Set

Construct a Storage Consolidation Strategy

Consolidated network storage (SAN/NAS) is a fundamental enabler of agile utility infrastructure. Storage consolidation and server consolidation are like two sides of the same coin. Benefits include better capacity utilization (reduced waste over distributed "islands" of direct attached storage) and the ability to more efficiently deliver availability and recovery for both systems and data.

Solution Set

Understand an App/Dev Manager's Position on Platform as a Service

The Cloud has become major hype area as cost conscious enterprises explore the potential of renting IT services (infrastructure, applications, development platforms) to save costs over internal provisioning (i.e. buying and maintaining infrastructure). All three areas of service (infrastructure, software, and platform) are in their early stages of adoption but platform is both the most nascent and the one primed for rapid growth.

Solution Set

Craft a Converged Data Center Networking Strategy

To support key consolidation, performance, and reliability objectives, enterprises must plan to evolve from disparate networks for compute and storage traffic to a converged data center networking infrastructure. This shift represents a major impact on technology planning and IT staffing and support.

Solution Set

Ensure Service Delivery with Systems Management

Systems management plays a critical role in service delivery but many enterprises either don't do it or take a bottom up technical approach.

Solution Set

Select a Solid Foundation for the Consolidated Infrastructure

Server consolidation, utility computing, server virtualization, internal cloud. They all absolutely require a solid foundation of shared networked storage. However networked storage is expensive and the vendor space is crowded.
