By posing fundamental questions about machine intelligence, Turing believed that human minds could one day be mimicked by electronic circuitry. In a theoretical paper published in 1936, Turing described an imaginary device, which would later become the electronic computer, behaving as if it were a human being and given problems to solve. The concept of the computer program grew directly out of this research, and the... read more

I was recently speaking at the Cloud Connect event in Santa Clara during a half-day workshop  dedicated to cloud performance optimization. One panel consisted of users, another of cloud providers and the last one, in which I was on the Panel involved cloud monitoring software vendors. The  discussions were informative thanks to an inquisitive and informed audience of practitioners, vendors and end users. Yet it was clear that cloud computing... read more

RiverMuse PRO includes a Reusable Business Logic (RBL) engine to streamline the creation of all configuration components in a single reusable package. The configuration is loaded through a text file; it is then parsed and converted by a back-end engine that updates the configuration of multiple components within the RiverMuse product. This is a vast change from traditional Manager of Managers (MoM) solutions as configurations from... read more

A common feature of current generation IT Event and Fault management systems is that you have to encode into the configuration of the system, a knowledge or representation of the logic that you use to manage the network, or device, or application. For example, a typical system management scenario is where you have a series of servers, routers and applications that you poll for specific... read more

(This is a Guest contribution on the RiverMuse Blog). We loved your post and thanks for reading the Telesperience blog Microsperience! We believe that even though we’re now officially post-crunch in telecoms, many CSPs have taken a good, long and hard look at how they buy and consume software. Interest in open source software by CSPs of all sizes is definitely on the increase. As you... read more

In our new White Paper we discuss the IT Operations Management challenges for mid-size Enterprises and MSP’s. In many ways their environment is starting to look like that of the larger enterprise – only scaled down in size. They have also moved to any-to-any IP networks, VoiP phone systems, Virtualized datacenters and SOA based application architectures just like their larger counterparts. In fact the gap in requirements for... read more

Over the last few years, the heightened pace of innovation in service delivery technologies has increased the complexity of IT Operations Management for organizations of all sizes. This problem is particularly acute for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) including regional managed service providers – which have traditionally operated with a lean staff and simpler but silo-based management systems. As long as the technologies they managed... read more
