Interesting Links for September 11th

Links that I have found interesting for September 11th:

• IT Management Software enables corporate-wide SLA and OLA., FireScope, Inc. – One of the most prominent additions to version 3.5 is the redesigned message queue architecture for multi-appliance communication. In other words, reliability. Picture this — multiple offices feed their monitoring/management data to a central headquarters. If one of these offices loses connection, the data is completely thrown off and the 'big picture' becomes unclear. Worst of all, in many cases this loss of contact goes unnoticed. With FireScope, this situation is only a notification rather than a problem. Unlike competitors, which often lose data during a connectivity interruption, FireScope stores and then backfills the data. Virtually nothing is lost and all reporting and information stay accurate and up-to-date. Now that all the event data is in one place, corporate-wide SLA and OLA are really possible.
• Protect, Defend, Measure and Manage Software – PreEmptive Solutions – Protect- Prevent reverse engineering, piracy, and tampering through obfuscation, watermarking, linking, and compaction.

  Defend- Detect tampering, inject real-time tamper defenses, and automate incident management and response.

  Manage- Automate end-of-life behaviors for beta releases, evaluation software, and IT policy enforcement.

  Measure- Track stability, adoption, usage patterns, and runtime environments across clients, clouds, servers, and mobile platforms without programming.

• Runtime Intelligence – The term ‘’Runtime intelligence’’ (RI) refers to technologies, managed services and practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of application usage levels, patterns and practices. RI is a discipline within both Business Intelligence (BI) and Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Management that focuses on precision method-level monitoring within applications and macro-level monitoring across populations of applications, platforms and domains.
• Applications Are People Too: Walter Cronkite for CIO! – Runtime Intelligence may be the first solution that addresses application developer demand for near real-time visibility into adoption and usage in the field while simultaneously helping operations automate their IT policies and reconcile application investments with business performance.
