Today's News: SaaS provider dumps MySQL and Red Hat for Oracle

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


FIRM DUMPS MYSQL ON RED HAT FOR ORACLE DATABASE ON ORACLE LINUX
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2964826/6582435
Mark Brunelli, News Editor

When ValueCentric found itself facing a rapidly changing business
environment and a need for greater information security, it decided
to migrate from MySQL-on-Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Oracle Database
on Oracle Enterprise Linux.

Based in Orchard Park, New York, ValueCentric started off in 2002 as
a pharmaceutical technology consulting firm running the MySQL open
source database management system (DBMS) and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. But the company quickly realized a need for a
Software-as-a-Service -- or on demand -- offering to address a
growing industry shift toward fee-for-service business models.

ValueCentric has since evolved into a provider of on-demand data
management and performance analytics software for the pharmaceutical
industry. Company officials say the move to Oracle Database on Oracle
Enterprise Linux was crucial to the initiative's success.

New Webcast: How to Properly Secure and Eradicate Your Disk Drives

Dear SearchStorage.com member,

An increasing number of regulatory requirements that govern the
protection of personal information are driving increased efforts for
companies to protect their information.

But one area that has been overlooked by many companies is the
security of data stored on disk. Many don't consider this to be an
issue because disk subsystems remain resident in the data center - or
do they?

This Webcast explains why data security and disk eradication is so
important these days. View this presentation to discover best
practices and solutions that will assist you in these tasks.

====================================================================
TITLE: Who's Reading Your Old Disk Drives?
WHEN: LIVE TODAY! January 29, 2008 at 2:00 PM EST (1900 GMT)

ABOUT THIS VENDOR WEBCAST
====================================================================
Failed hard disk drives (HDDs) are frequently removed from data
centers, yet organizations do not take the time to completely delete
the information stored on these disks. Companies that keep data
remaining on a disk when it leaves the physical security of a data
center are faced with the dilemma of how to properly eradicate this
data in a cost-effective manner.

This Webcast discusses the various options available to ensure the
protection of information stored on disk, explores the pros and cons
of each and provides guidance for deciding on the correct one for
your organization.

Customer Data: CDI streamlines Corporate Express call center processes

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
SearchDataManagement.com: Customer Data
Integration Edition
January 29, 2008
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


FUZZY SEARCH HELPS CLEAR UP CALL CENTER CONFUSION
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2963249/6582435
Jeff Kelly, News Editor

When executives at Corporate Express began looking at ways to improve
efficiency, they expected to find at least a few redundant servers or
applications. What they discovered were more than two dozen separate
customer data systems running throughout the company.

A subsidiary of Corporate Express NV in the Netherlands, the
Broomfield, Colo.-based company had staked its claim as one of the
top business-to-business office supplies vendors in the market thanks
in part to numerous acquisitions over the last decade. But each
acquisition brought with it not just revenue but customer data and
databases as well. It didn't take long for the company to realize it
needed to streamline operations.

"We started looking at our overall enterprise architecture, and one
of the things we began to document was the amount of customer data
replication we were doing," said Doug LaVelle, head of the company's
business relationship management team. To make matters worse,
customer data often needed to be entered into separate systems
manually, LaVelle said, almost guaranteeing inconsistencies.

To start the streamlining process, the company decided to consolidate
its 28 call centers -- distributed throughout the country -- into one
main call center with a secondary, back-up location. LaVelle and his
team began identifying the processes used in those call centers to
conduct customer transactions and discovered no fewer than 26 systems
containing customer data. "[Not surprisingly] we saw a lot
inefficiencies with how [call center representatives] went in
and found customers in the different systems," LaVelle said.

New eGuide: The Basics of iSCSI SANs

Dear SearchStorage.com member,

SANs are important to organizations because of their ability to
centralize and organize disparate storage resources within the data
center, but because of the cost and complexity of Fibre Channel, many
organizations held off on adopting this technology. Now with the
breakthrough of iSCSI SANs, this is no longer the case.

This eGuide from SearchStorage.com examines the basics of iSCSI,
deployment roadblocks to watch out for and predicts future trends.
Download it to learn more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ABOUT THIS FEATURED EGUIDE SPONSORED BY: Dell | EMC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most analysts and users agree that iSCSI is easier to deploy and
manage than Fibre Channel. That is one of the main reasons that iSCSI
has emerged as a viable - and very popular - SAN option for
organizations large and small.

This eGuide from SearchStorage.com outlines common iSCSI concepts and
features. Download this guide to learn about important topics that
focus on:

** Understanding iSCSI SANs

RIA and composite applications survey
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2958604/6582435
[Michael Meehan]

Let's face it, service-oriented architecture is boring. I mean, with
all that planning and attention to detail and consistency. Maybe that
appeals to the small percentage of people out there who lead highly
organized lives, but for most humans in your app dev shop the
efficiency and better business productivity of SOA isn't going to set
off any internal whistles.

For them the selling point on SOA is that if you get organized over
here then you can do some cool, new stuff over there. It's a
tradeoff. You want to do some fantastic enterprise mashup? Guess
what? That's not going to happen until you've got loosely coupled
applications with easily digested data. It's the adult equivalent of
having to eat your vegetables before you get dessert.

Anyway, we know that plenty of companies out there want to pursue
rich Internet and/or composite applications. What we don't know is
how far along you are with that work. So we put together a RIA and
composite apps survey to get a better sense of your progress in this
area and to find out what sorts of pain points you're experiencing.
It's quick and easy to take and we aren't requiring you to provide
any intimate personal information (seriously, we don't want your
DNA).

If we know more about your interests and concerns in the Web 2.0, we
can better focus our coverage on your needs. Whether you're working
on an internal portal, a trading application or a cool Web site like
BreakThru Radio, or even if that's what your company would like to be
doing, we want to know about your RIA experience.

We know you're out there, looking to push the application envelope,
yearning to turn all this organization into something creative. Make
sure you chime in on the survey and it will help align our coverage.

This Week: Calling all middleware users

FROM THE EDITOR
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Calling all middleware users
by Mark Brunelli - mbrunelli@techtarget.

The results of a new Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) survey
suggest that the majority of Oracle-based enterprises intend to
upgrade to Oracle's Fusion middleware infrastructure within the next
two years.

Now, that's not particularly surprising. But this is:

The survey, which generated 449 responses from OAUG members, also
found that two out of every five Oracle-based enterprises will
increase spending on middleware in 2008, despite the fact that many
enterprises still aren't sure of middleware's true value to their
operations.

Taken together, the results suggest to me that at least some
companies out there are spending money on middleware without fully
understanding the reasons for doing so. I think the issue deserves
further examination, especially with Oracle's major acquisition of
middleware giant BEA Systems Inc. still fresh on our minds:
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2957830/6582435

I'm researching a new article on the OAUG survey for publication
later this week and really need to rally the SearchOracle.com troops
in an attempt to understand this potential phenomenon. Do the results
make sense to you? Why or why not? And why is middleware important,
or unimportant, at your organization?

Maybe it's simply a matter of business folks getting ahead of the IT
groups, or vice versa. Or maybe the survey results simply don't hold
water. Whatever it is, if you're a real Oracle end user, then I want
to hear from you. Please send your comments directly to
mbrunelli@techtarget.com and we'll set up a time to get on the phone.

This week: Is operational BI a reality?

FROM THE EDITOR
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Is operational BI a reality?
by Hannah Smalltree - hsmalltree@techtarget.

Industry-types have long used phrases like "pervasive BI" or "the
democratization of BI" or "operational BI" to describe the concept of
deploying BI to many, many people in an enterprise -- not just to
managers, but to front line operational workers, too. But, for years,
I've heard from people that broad BI deployments are easier said than
done -- with political, technical and financial challenges to
overcome. So in many companies, BI has still only been deployed
departmentally or to small groups of users. But, with respect to
musician Bob Dylan, a few articles we posted last week indicate that
"times, they are a-changin'."

The article "Operational business intelligence making its way in the
enterprise"
(http://go.techtarget.com/r/2956347/6582435 reports that, according to a Ventana Research survey, two-thirds of organizations polled are using or have taken initial steps to deploy operational BI -- and almost one third are at the highest level of operational BI maturity. I know from some of the initial results of our reader survey that many organizations still aren't there yet. So, you may be interested in the article's analyst advice for planning operational BI programs, as well as the other business intelligence resources available on SearchDataManagement.com: http://go.techtarget.com/r/2956348/6582435

There are also technical advances helping companies effectively
deploy operational BI. Expert contributor Mark Whitehorn's latest
article, "Active data warehousing explained and examined,"
(http://go.techtarget.com/r/2956349/6582435 demystifies the latest technology that's helping to enable broad BI deployments. Read that article to find out why one analyst thinks this technology will change the competitive landscape for enterprise database and data warehouse products.

Have you deployed BI broadly at your organization? Why or why not?
What other resources or articles can we provide to help you get
there? Please send me an email at hsmalltree@techtarget.com and let
me know. And, as always, have a wonderful week!
