In our Clear Choice test of Thor Technologies' latest version of Xellerate Identity Manager (8.01), we found that the platform provides flexible account provisioning across a multitude of products and technologies, supporting even the most complex of workflows.
Rolling out virtual servers and desktops is easier than provisioning physical machines, but the more flexible and dynamic resources still require IT managers to make the most out of all the resources in the environment.
When we tested mobile device management (MDM) last year, the products were largely focused on asset management - provisioning, protecting and containing mobile devices.
A new group called LF Edge is pushing for an open unified framework that will promote plug-and-play interoperability, cloud provisioning, other streamlining to improve edge networks.
Lifecycle Service Orchestration is a catchphrase that embraces the range of activities performed by a telco or other communications service provider. An LSO platform would handle everything from provisioning the customer order to controlling the delivery of the service to gathering metrics and ensuring guaranteed performance levels to remediating fault to providing usage reports to offering analytics to customers. Let's talk about why that's important.
The defense research agency recently announced a $2 million Grand Challenge called the Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2) and said the primary goal of the contest was to infuse radios with “advanced machine-learning capabilities so they can collectively develop strategies that optimize use of the wireless spectrum in ways not possible with today’s intrinsically inefficient approach of pre-allocating exclusive access to designated frequencies.”

The race to offer integrated identity management software packages heated up Thursday with the announcement that identity and access management company Netegrity will license provisioning components of Business Layers' eProvision Software.
With virtualization comes an increase in the amount and complexity of I/O traffic. Network interface cad (NIC) partitioning enhances I/O performance in a virtualized environment, advancing hardware consolidation and flexible bandwidth provisioning for heightened IT agility.

Avaya this week extended its SDN arsenal with an architecture and supporting products designed to simplify enterprise connectivity and application provisioning.
Surgient this month is taking its virtual management and automation software out of the lab. The vendor, which made its start with tools to quickly set up and tear down virtual test environments, is broadening its reach with automation features that let end user request virtual resources on demand.
The promise of a malleable data center that reconfigures itself automatically to respond to an enterprise’s needs is enticing. The catch is, there’s no universal way to describe a data center. Unless you can describe it, how can you build it? Provisioning, configuration, patching, monitoring and management tools all have individual “views” of data center components and their interdependencies, and these tools communicate via proprietary formats.
Server virtualization technology from vendors such as VMware and Xen is causing IT managers to address management challenges related to server provisioning, patch management and disaster recovery.

Cisco is taking strides to automate service provisioning, security and access control across mobile devices with a more integrated management suite that will eventually usurp the company's Wireless Control System (WCS) platform.
Juniper Networks this week at Mobile World Congress is expanding its carrier SDN portfolio with controller and management products designed to accelerate customized service creation and provisioning.
