New Chapter: RBA Benefits and Best Practices
 Download the newest chapter from The Shortcut Guide to Run Book Automation!
Ultimately, the case for RBA rests on the return on investment that this technology delivers. With its ability to speed incident handling, reduce support and help desk costs, implement IT efficiencies, and help the relentless drive toward regulatory and best practices compliance, making the case for RBA depends more on your situation and your needs than on the vast range of savings and efficiencies that RBA can deliver. Choose those most relevant to your situation, run the numbers, and the case for RBA will largely make itself.

New Chapter: The Business Case for Defragmentation
 Download the newest chapter from The Shortcut Guide to Managing Disk Fragmentation!
This chapter examines the fragmentation problem as a business problem. First, we’ll spend time looking at fragmentation as a business risk. Although previous sections described the on-disk technical details, we’ll look at the impact to users, systems, and the business. Once we’ve seen what kind of impact fragmentation can have, we’ll take a look at how best to justify a solution to the problem. The best way to do so is through case studies. We’ll examine examples of other companies that have successfully mitigated the fragmentation problem. Then we’ll provide a strategy for selecting a defragmentation solution.

New Series: Modern Malware Threats and Countermeasures
 Download the complete series!
Spyware, or its more correct term malware, is an ever-evolving beast of software development that today ties heavily into the desire for financial gain. Malware developers are no longer disgruntled kids writing scripts from the computer in their grandmother’s basement. Today, malware is big business, and with big business comes software sophistication. This Essentials Series discusses how the landscape of malware code has evolved to become a major underground industry. In three articles, it discusses the classes of malware you’re sure to see in the wild today, the behaviors being exhibited by the most intelligent of the bunch, and some of the ways modern tools are employing – or developing – to combat it.
