SaaS For IT Management

This blog is all about using Software as a Service (SaaS) for IT Management.

• SaaS, IT Management, and Storage News Roundup

  Posted on December 2nd, 2009 Nathan 2 comments

  Goodbye November, hello December.

  It’s about time to have a look around the SaaS/IT Management blogosphere to highlight what’s going on.

  Shameless Self Promotion

  Wasn’t sure whether to do this first or last, but I might as well get it out of the way. Here’s a quick roundup of Aprigo news since the last roundup:

  • Seven Tips to Help Manage Data Storage Growth – Computer Technology Review- An article we wrote for the Computer Technology Review
  • Do storage managers have a “pack rat” mentality?- A blog post on the Aprigo blog defending storage managers from Symantec’s assertion that they are pack rats
  • Aprigo On KillerStartups.com - Aprigo was featured on KillerStartups.com, a site that lets readers vote whether the startup will “be a killer.”
  • Aprigo NINJA in PCMag.com’s @Work Blog- Aprigo NINJA was featured in PCMag.com’s @Work blog by Errol Pierre-Louis.

  We’ve got more news coming, but I don’t want to bore you with that. Moving right along……

  Storage News

  • Scott Lowe has resurrected his Storage Short Take series, and it’s well worth the wait. In this, #5 in the series, Scott gives the Reader’s Digest version of what’s going on in the storage world.
  • On the StorageBod blog, Martin Glassborow has a post entitled “Date Night“, in which he anthropomorphisizes the relationship betweek storage customer and vendor.
  • W. Curtis Preston has a wrapup of data protection and data backup trends in 2009

  IT Management News

  • Chris Evans at GestaltIT gives a wrapup of the first annual GestaltIT Tech Field Day, where both vendors and journalists converged for discussions and evaluations of the hottest tech products. Judging from the coverage, it was an excellent event, and they’re already planning the second annual event.
  • Looks like IT spending is up according to Bob Evans, as he reports “Accenture Stock Target Soars As CEO Sees IT Recovery“. From the post: “A Credit Suisse analyst has boosted his target price for Accenture shares from $42 to $55 on the expectation that enterprise IT spending is beginning to loosen up and that Accenture will be a prime beneficiary of CIOs’ more-expansive spending habits and their increasing acceptance of outsourcing.”
  • Mozy has a great video highlighting the importance of data backup by asking people on the street how much they’d sell their laptop for right this minute.

  SaaS News

  • The Security Risks with Sharing Documents and How to Prevent Them- Adi Ruppin has an article in IT Business Edge talking about the new access control opportunities and threats brought about by introducing SaaS in IT Management.
  • Enterprise SaaS Working Group: Identity Management in the Cloud- Ryan Nichols has a post summarizing the Enterprise SaaS Working Groups activity around identity management in the cloud.

  All right, that’s it for now. I’ll keep trying to do this weekly.
