Over 90% of organizations believe that the GDPR will impact the way they collect, use and process personal data. It’s one of the biggest changes to hit the digital privacy landscape in 20 years. And, in May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will introduce maximum fines of €20 million for non-compliance.

A big part of GDPR compliance will focus on how data is collected going forward. But a substantial emphasis will fall on the data businesses already hold. With many mainframes containing generations-old data, a manual data audit is completely unrealistic. That’s where CA comes in. CA Data Content Discovery enables organizations to find, classify and protect mission essential mainframe data—three valuable steps toward achieving GDPR compliance.

One way to shift testing practices earlier in your software lifecycle is by using multi-layered visual models to specify requirements in a way where all ambiguity is inherently removed. With unambiguous and complete requirements, developers introduce less defects into their code and manual test cases, automated test scripts and required test data can be automatically generated based on the requirement, without manual intervention.

This paper looks at advances in database analytics and how they change the playing field for marketing executives willing to seize opportunities made available by new advances in hardware and software.

Not long ago, the biggest concern for IT decision makers considering moving workloads to the cloud was security. That’s no longer the case. Today, the main obstacle to cloud adoption is different but familiar: the pain of migrating data. Traditional data migration causes major headaches: • Hours or days of downtime while servers replicate and stakeholders verify functionality • Data loss and migration failures due to inadequate tools and inability to test • Key internal resources diverted from strategic initiatives

It’s time for business applications to include Big Data functionality, and it’s time for developers to get on the Big Data train. This webinar will focus on how to make that happen.

In government, Big Data presents both a challenge and an opportunity that will grow over time.

BI and Big Data: A Dark Territory

5 Ways to Future-Proof Your Data Center for Big Data

Changing workloads are pushing organizations to consider new infrastructure options. The latest designs address growing interest and the unique demands of the Internet of Things and Big Data. When cloud service provider Virdata needed to develop a highly scalable platform to collect information from millions of devices and offer Big Data analytics to its customers, it chose a converged infrastructure.

Years of IT infrastructure advancements have helped to drive out vast amounts of costs within the datacenter. Technologies like server and storage virtualization, data deduplication, and flash-based storage systems (to name just a few) have contributed to improvements of utilization rates, performance, and resiliency for most organizations. Unfortunately, organizations still struggle with deeply rooted operational inefficiencies related to IT departments with silos of technology and expertise that lead to higher complexity, limited scalability, and suboptimal levels of agility. The recent tectonic shifts caused by the rise of 3rd Platform applications that focus on social, mobile, cloud, and big data environments have amplified the pains associated with these structural inefficiencies.

"The percentage of consumers making purchases online has officially outpaced those who don’t. But what does this mean for brands? Once tethered largely to wholesale and resale, the door has been opened for brands to try a variety of selling options. And they are. The time is now for brands to step into the e-commerce game and figure out the best approach for them. In this white paper, we’ll dive into six critical components that all brands should be watching as the industry evolves: - Customer connections - Relationships with retailers - Quality of product content - Marketplace management - Social commerce influence - Big data for brands"

It is time to finally get over the misconceptions generated by the loud and misleading rhetoric regarding the superior efficiencies of close-coupled and liquid cooled server cabinet solutions, as well as the supposed limits on power densities that can be effectively cooled by air. Passive air cooling can successfully dissipate as much heat as can be generated by commercial servers that can actually fit in a 42-45 U cabinet, and in fact more than most close-coupled and liquid-cooled solutions. In addition, air-cooled solutions that rely on complete isolation between supply air and return air are more efficient than most close-coupled systems and provide access to lower data center cooling costs.

The modern data center has changed. There are new demands around cloud computing, big data and infrastructure efficiency. This change in the data center is being driven by more users, more data and a lot more reliance on the data center itself. With private cloud technologies and the rapid growth in data leading the way within many technological categories (the Internet of Things), working with the right data center optimization technologies has never been more important. In this white paper, we explore new concepts around data center demand, where energy efficiency and cooling optimization fit in and modern best practices around your data center.
