The slap of cold water on an unsuspecting victim has been standard comedy fare for years, and it can make for an amusing scenario, assuming you’re not the one being doused. In an emergency situation however, non-tempered water is anything but funny. Exposure to domestic water temperatures in many parts of the country while using an emergency shower or eyewash has it’s risk- hypothermia and/or scalding. The International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) revised the Z358.1 standard to include a water delivery temperature range of 60° to 100°F. The heart of the tempered water delivery system is the mixing valve, which ensures that the safety equipment safely receives water at the required temperature.

In The Top Technologies to Cure Mobile Performance, Forrester’s Mark Grannan elaborates on this reality and explains how firms can tackle the device, bandwidth, and location challenges to appeal to a users perception of performance. In this paper, Mark explains: Why a Delivery Tier is Necessary Why Perception of Performance is the Key Metric of Mobile Success How User Context Steers Performance Optimization Whether to Build or Buy Delivery Capabilities Why the Delivery Tier Alone is Not Enough to Improve Performance.

The DevOps model drives digital transformation and the rapid delivery of new software products and services. However, this process largely takes place outside the purview of information security (InfoSec), often without their involvement. As a result, security teams struggle to keep pace. This whitepaper explores the intersection of DevOps and InfoSec, offering three reasons why security organizations will benefit by combining these two practices.

The proliferation of communications channels has set expectations around cost and productivity benefits. Unified Communications (UC) is proffered as a way of helping bring them all together, but companies struggle to justify the business case for it. Against this background, how important is UC as an approach to streamlining communications, and how can businesses exploit it?

As organizations have improved service delivery, they have also turned their focus to presenting business value more positively. These organizations are beginning to develop true BSM systems in two ways: by understanding the metrics that successful businesses employ to determine the value of IT, and by linking these metrics and associated business services to IT infrastructure components.

Managing service delivery in todayís complex and dynamic business environments demands new and different approaches from IT. The explosive growth and the rate of change of information has brought particularly daunting challenges for IT that have contributed to incredibly complex underlying infrastructures. To get a true picture of all of the components necessary to support an IT or Business Service, you must access and bring together data that resides in disparate data silos throughout the enterprise.

ITIL provides a framework of customizable best practice initiatives that help organizations consistently deliver high-quality IT services. Effective ITIL implementation adds value to the IT infrastructure and improves business and service delivery.

As IT evolves towards a more business-aligned position, it must seek out new ways of working that support more effective operations, service creation, and service delivery. These include technologies, processes, and a culture that supports higher levels of accountability, as well as more dynamic responsiveness to business needs.

Effective workload automation that provides complete management level visibility into real-time events impacting the delivery of IT services is needed by the data center more than ever before. The traditional job scheduling approach, with an uncoordinated set of tools that often requires reactive manual intervention to minimize service disruptions, is failing more than ever due to todays complex world of IT with its multiple platforms, applications and virtualized resources.

For many organizations, managing and delivering the knowledge contained within documents is difficult or impossible due to technological disparity. Conventional approaches to knowledge management work within the constraints of disparate platforms, applications, and output devices, and fail to address technological disparity.
