Links that I have found interesting for March 31st:
- Morgan Stanley Deploys OpTier's CoreFirst for Business Transaction Management – Morgan Stanley deployed OpTier's CoreFirst(R) technology on one of its institutional fixed income trading platforms. CoreFirst allows Morgan Stanley to monitor the perf of its trading transactions in real time and significantly improve service levels for trading clients. With CoreFirst, Morgan Stanley can monitor and improve the performance and service levels of its trading platform, to the benefit of its clients and its own systems management.
"There are technologies available today that provide partial aspects of transaction management, but we have not come across any solution that provides the complete visibility and control that CoreFirst does," said Hishaam Mufti-Bey, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley. "With CoreFirst we are able to know in real time who is using the application and in what ways, how the app is performing and where exactly we need to focus our attention to optimize the performance of our trading platform. This was not possible before deploying CoreFirst."
- Where is HP headed? « Judith Hurwitz’s Weblog – HP has evolved its OpenView platform into a business service management business that it calls Business Technology Optimization. Within this framework is all of the management technology ranging from service optimization to network management.
- Cloud Slam: Making Business Service Management a Reality – In the end it doesn't matter where the service is; you need to be sure it is available and performing to expectations. Cloud Assure provides the capability in a way that is very agile. You say "I need this service monitored" and it is monitored. Its just like calling for an airport shuttle — you call, they show up.
