Speaking the languages of your customers seems fairly basic, but many companies struggle with the notion of translating content into a language they themselves do not speak. In the past, "going global" represented a massive undertaking – at least, conceptually. The notion of "international expansion" brought to mind opening up new offices in countries far away, learning about local tax and employment law, and dealing with accounting across multiple currencies. In other words, taking a company global sounded like a daunting proposition.

Dell ProSupport: Time is Money
In both good and bad economic times, IT managers have one common concern: How to do more with less. IT managers are faced with the ever-increasing and complex role of IT in day-to-day operations, while budgets are tightening and IT staffs are shrinking. Given these critical challenges, many IT managers rely on partners such as Dell to help keep their systems up and running to avoid costly downtime. This is where Dell ProSupport takes charge. ProSupport is Dell's premier support for PCs, servers, networking, storage and software applications. ProSupport offers extended warranty, help desk, break/fix and proactive services to Dell customers. Through capabilities ranging from on-site technicians to self-service parts ordering, customers can leverage ProSupport to tailor service for their specific environment. When asking a panel of loyal ProSupport customers (many of whom have utilized Dell support services for nearly a decade) in a recent series of interviews, TBR found that the primary reason for choosing ProSupport was resoundingly the same: It helps save time and money. Whether leveraging Dell's expertise over the phone, online or in person, or simply using the self-service features of ProSupport, Dell's customers tout the service as key to running a smooth, efficient IT operation with lower risk of potentially devastating downtime.

Architect versatile, efficient remote site IT with the Dell PowerEdge VRTX
IT decision makers face myriad challenges in maintaining the fast-expanding mix of enterprise applications. When IT environments traverse multiple sites, these challenges can be exacerbated by numerous factors, including a random mix of platforms and vendors, the data and administrative silos these can create, and few to no local IT support resources. Yet multi-site IT environments—which can encompass regional headquarters, field sales offices, specialized R&D centers, and various back-office sites–often make significant contributions to an organization's mission. Properly resourced and managed, remote office/branch office (ROBO) operations can help organizations attract localized talent or leverage competitive advantage situations. In-region service teams can improve customer satisfaction, retention, and profitability through follow-the-sun support workflows. Enterprise executives can bring entirely new intellectual capital into the fold by supporting strategic mergers or acquisitions. All too often, however, IT organizations approach these environments as burdens, instead of as opportunities. When IT managers opt merely to blunt the impact of their multi-site environments—whether by pampering ineffective local systems through end-of-life, by replacing them with inexpensive but inadequate alternatives, or by restricting all administration to HQ-based teams—they may be overlooking the strategic advantage that these environments can offer, and forgoing real prospects for innovation, competitive differentiation and value creation.

2). Making the right connections
In this Computing white paper, we look at not just the technological pain points experienced by buyers of cloud connectivity services, but the quality and service related issues they need to investigate when making purchase decisions. Cloud computing is fast moving to the top of the IT agenda, with companies across the board looking to migrate applications away from simple in-house datacentres to a mix of platforms including both private and public cloud services. When it comes to planning those migrations, however, the emphasis tends to be on the cloud technology with scant attention paid to the connectivity side of the equation. Questions relating to bandwidth, latency and security still need to be asked, but equally crucial are those relating to quality and service levels as these can differ significantly. The cloud can be delivered in many formats, but in the majority of cases applications will be remote from the customers, partners and users who need to access them. That makes wide area network (WAN) connectivity a critical part of the solution and companies need to consider the consequences of poor performance or even connectivity failure on their business, customers and users.
Best Practices for Oversubscription of CPU, Memory and Storage in vSphere Virtual Environments
One of the benefits of virtualization is that it enables administrators to efficiently share host resources among different applications. In fact, administrators often oversubscribe the physical resources on a host in order to maximize the number of workloads that can run on a host. But how much oversubscription is too much? This paper discusses what oversubscription is and why it is used, explores the pros and cons of the practice, and proposes some ideas about the point at which oversubscription becomes dangerous

This white paper describes how data storage needs to become more softwaredefined to address the expectations of an increasingly mobile user community.
IT organizations are expected to respond more quickly to urgent business needs while simultaneously providing stable, secure, and predictable IT service. However, the systems on which the business operates are typically fragile and hostile to change. Adopting Agile development processes without improving operational reliability or communication between developers and operations only makes this problem worse. The increased frequency of releases from development creates even more of a burden on an already strained IT organization. Similarly, adopting rigid ITIL/ITSM standards without addressing development issues and improving communication channels results in an inflexible IT organization that simply cannot respond to business needs quickly enough. DevOps picks up where Agile methodology and IT standards left off. For the first time ever, by adopting DevOps practices, IT organizations can be simultaneously agile and reliable, thus fulfilling the promise of over 20 years of Agile and ITIL/ITSM.

Cloud computing is fast moving to the top of the IT agenda, with companies across the board looking to migrate applications away from simple in-house Data Centres to a mix of platforms including both private and public Cloud services. When it comes to planning those migrations, however, the emphasis tends to be on the Cloud technology with scant attention paid to the network side of the equation as highlighted in a recent online survey of Computing readers. This white paper provides a clear snapshot of what companies are doing with regard to Cloud computing in the UK. The survey of more than 100 IT strategists shows how quickly the caution of just a couple of years ago appears to be evaporating even in traditionally conservative corporates with large infrastructure investments to consider. The Cloud can be delivered in many formats, but in the majority of cases applications will be remote from the customers, partners and users who need to access them. That makes Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity a critical part of the solution and companies need to consider the consequences or poor performance or even connectivity failure on their business, customers and users. Unfortunately connectivity services are not all the same making it important to look at more than mere headline bandwidth figures. In this Computing white paper we look at not just the technological pain points experienced by buyers of Cloud connectivity services, but the quality and service related issues they need to investigate when making purchase decisions.
Networks: We Need a New Approach
The simple fact is that networks are a complex issue, and the requirements of a business that needs to link up Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) terminals to head office may be different from the needs of a business that wants to invest in cloud-based applications. These in turn may be different from the needs of a business that's pushing into unified communications and video conferencing. Beyond the usual price/performance balance, businesses need to think about the risks they face should their network go wrong, and how quality of service (QoS) features and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can protect them. Rather than looking at things from a products-first perspective, it's time to take an applications-first approach. Finding the right network product needs to be partly about allowing businesses to get the most out of their next-generation applications, but also about reducing the attendant risks. Many providers and their enterprise customers make a decision on the network based on the size of the business, rather than the requirements of an application or the risks involved should the connection fail. That's why you'll find retailers running several point of-sale (PoS) terminals over a single consumer-grade broadband connection, or an office running multiple Web-based applications, voice and even video lines over a connection that's not fit for purpose. It's time to tailor the service to the application. Consider what you need, who's going to need it, and what costs and issues you might incur should those people not have access.

Let's make no bones about it; SIP Trunking offers real opportunities. It delivers a killer combination of cost-savings, flexibility, convergence and scalability. Convergence? SIP Trunks use the same network connection as data services, lowering costs and giving businesses one port of call for their service. Meanwhile, the scalability of SIP Trunking ensures that businesses can add new lines rapidly as their organisation grows, without the delays we're all familiar with from ISDN. And if they need to add numbers or teleworkers to the system, then that's not a problem either. SIP Trunking can be a fantastic service, but only if it's done right. At the moment, the biggest thing ISDN has going for it is confidence; businesses know the technology, they know it works, and they're prepared to pay for that comfort factor. SIP Trunking can be every bit as good as ISDN – and better – but it needs the right approach. It all comes down to 5 things: Bandwidth, Compression, Quality of Service, Interoperability and the Platform.

Linking to Country-Specific Pages Optimizes Global SEO
Global SEO is not radically different from standard SEO. Essentially, you are doing many of the same tasks. The difference is, Global SEO requires several additional steps to ensure the content reaches a much broader and multilingual audience. However, global SEO does not mean simply translating your standard SEO content into the preferred languages and then posting the translations to a new website in that specific country. Sure, that should technically work, but most likely it will not generate the best results.
Localizing Your Mobile App is Good For Business
Simply put, the more people who can find and use your mobile application in their native language, the larger your potential market. But launching a multilingual app and keeping it updated is a challenge – one that requires agility and speed. Before you start translating, there are business decisions to be made. What languages will you use? What content in the app will betranslated? Who will handle the actual translation? Once those are resolved, you need to apply best coding practices and tools to streamline translation and prepare your app for the global market.
Language - The Missing Piece in Your Marketing Technology Stack
Today's marketing tech stack makes it easier than ever for marketers to streamline the customer conversion process, with content management and marketing systems generating and delivering compelling content to prospects at the right time. The problem is that many of them don't speak your language.

There's no one way to move into the Cloud. In fact, there are as many approaches as there are customers and applications. The big mistake is to put the technology first. For instance, there is always a lot of talk around the delivery models for cloud - Do you go SaaS, PaaS or IaaS? The key thing is to think carefully about which would benefit most from a Cloud-based approach. Applications that involve collaboration, particularly between employees working across multiple geographical locations, will be an obvious fit. Website hosting, business application hosting, online backup and disaster recovery are all natural services to offer from the Cloud. Consider Software as a Service options. Could you take Exchange or SharePoint from on-premises servers and offer them from the Cloud? While a business can theoretically set up a private Cloud or work with AWS (Amazon Web Services) or Windows Azure themselves, it's much, much easier if they partner with someone who can do the legwork for them, and hand them integrated solutions that just work. They can provide the tools a business needs to manage their data and their applications, keep the platforms and software updated, and provide support. There are many other aspects that need to be considered when entering the cloud - from connectivity, platforms and data centre outsourcing - read our Guide to find out more.
Networks: More choice can be a powerful enabler
Despite the challenges of today's unsettled economic climate, this is a period of rich opportunity for UK businesses. Cloudbased services are developing rapidly, enabling businesses of every size to capitalise on new technology without the kind of short-term investment and long-term administration costs this used to need. At the same time, there have never been so many options for high-bandwidth networks. By understanding the network options businesses are able to pair the right solutions with the right access technology. It's not just about price, but about finding reliable high-bandwidth services, backed up by business-grade service, support and guarantees, that can deliver what the business needs today and scale up for what it might need tomorrow. With so many options available this isn't always easy or straightforward. For any client and any application, there are two key factors that should guide your choice of network solution: the technologies available at their location, and the real-world bandwidth requirements for what that customer is trying to do.
Rethink rethink their Wide Area Network and deploy a QoS enabled IP VPN solution
Rethink, the leading national mental health membership charity, operate out of seven main offices and are headquartered in London. They also have over 250 service locations with up to 10 users at each site. Rethink needed secure and reliable access to critical applications, improved support and a network that was fully managed and capable of handling real-time traffic. Underpinning Rethink's requirement for a more reliable and advanced WAN was the desire to use video conferencing as a business tool. Rethink's current network was incapable of handling video conferencing traffic due partly to bandwidth limitations but crucially due to the fact that the network could not identify video traffic and treat it with the priority it required. Zen implemented a solution that connected their seven core office locations into an IP VPN solution that offered complete security for inter-site traffic and provided the platform for deploying their video conferencing solution. Zen also implemented a second IP VPN solution to provide a private network for their service locations ensuring that the two networks were segregated to offer additional security and easier administration. Since deploying Zen's IP VPN solution Rethink have experienced dramatic improvements in employee productivity made possible by improved network performance and reliability. Rethink staff are now assured of a reliable and stable connection to critical applications hosted in Zen's data centre or at their HQ. Video conferencing has been fully deployed between the seven sites connected into the primary IP VPN. Within the 1st year of deployment the video conferencing application helped Rethink save £100, 000 in travel costs with ambitions to increase these savings to £150,000 in year 2 and £200,000 in year 3.

Building a network for the future – Zen Internet and Fostering Solutions
Until recently Fostering Solutions used a mixture of connectivity solutions, including wireless, SDSL and ADSL. Network security was handled discretely at each site, though managed by a central in-house team. Meanwhile, the organisation's head office acted as a hub, hosting the organisation's key business applications. They recognised that they needed a secure, centralised network infrastructure to meet the demands of a growing organisation as its slow and over-complicated network was leaving staff frustrated. Zen's solution incorporates IP VPN with a mixture of Ethernet and ADSL connectivity services plus, centralised Network Security. Zen project managed and handled the migration from start to finish. The organisation now has a fast, reliable and secure network that its staff and carers can rely on, plus they've also got the ability to expand. It's a win for Fostering Solutions, the carers, children and young people it supports.
1). Networks: We Need a New Approach
The simple fact is that networks are a complex issue, and the requirements of a business that needs to link up Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) terminals to head office may be different from the needs of a business that wants to invest in cloud-based applications. These in turn may be different from the needs of a business that's pushing into unified communications and video conferencing. Beyond the usual price/performance balance, businesses need to think about the risks they face should their network go wrong, and how quality of service (QoS) features and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can protect them. Rather than looking at things from a products-first perspective, it's time to take an applications-first approach. Finding the right network product needs to be partly about allowing businesses to get the most out of their next-generation applications, but also about reducing the attendant risks. Many providers and their enterprise customers make a decision on the network based on the size of the business, rather than the requirements of an application or the risks involved should the connection fail. That's why you'll find retailers running several point of-sale (PoS) terminals over a single consumer-grade broadband connection, or an office running multiple Web-based applications, voice and even video lines over a connection that's not fit for purpose. It's time to tailor the service to the application. Consider what you need, who's going to need it, and what costs and issues you might incur should those people not have access.

Steve Holley, IT Manager, Bardsley
5). Keeping Data Moving - Zen Internet and The Yearsley Group
With thirteen remote sites and consolidation of its core business systems the Yearsley Group needed reliable, high speed connectivity. Zen designed and implemented a high availability Fibre Ethernet network linking Yearsley's sites to the company's disaster recovery site. Establishing speeds of up to 1Gbps provided true enterprise-grade security, together with Zen's award-winning reliability and 24/7 support, the solution provided the Yearsley Group with reliable high-speed connectivity, eliminated bottlenecks and stabilised business critical systems available across all sites, all day, every day. "Zen have proven their expertise in design and consultancy, through to Project Management and delivery of our network migration within the agreed time limits. We continue to receive a well-managed solution with highly knowledgeable support." Chris Gillespie, IT Systems Manager, The Yearsley Group.
