Managing Next Generation IT Infrastructure

The costly build-to-order approach of typical IT infrastructures may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to advances in technology and to new management practices. Leading companies are moving toward a less complex model characterized by standard and reusable products, transparent pricing, and better use of IT resources.

Companies can make their information technology systems up to 30 percent more productive by adopting a standardized model. To undertake this shift, CIOs must rethink the organization, architecture, and procurement processes of their IT organizations

Citrix's XenConvert Software

Some known problems while using Citrix's XenConvert Software. This section describes known problems for the XenConvert software. Wherever possible, a workaround for the problem has been tried. Converting a Workload with Files in Use XenConvert cannot copy a file in use by another application or service. To ensure that the file is included in the conversion, stop the respective service before starting the conversion. It is not recommended to convert a workload executing a critical service that keeps critical files open that cannot be stopped (such as a Domain Controller with Active Directory service).Mapped Network Drive Can Interfere with Conversion If a network drive was mapped to the next available drive letter (e.g. F: when last local drive was E), then XenConvert is unable to get the drive letter for the new VHD that it just created, mounted, and formatted because Windows assigned it to the same drive letter as the network drive.

Information Security Enterprise Architecture

Image
We strive to focus on architectures, methodologies, best practices and the latest technologies designed for proactive strategies that can be used for reducing the IT security risks and meeting the new security challenges. Well, I decided to write this blog inspired by Gartner's information security model. Infrastructure Protection The technology infrastructure is a fundamental to security and it must be fundamentally secure. Enterprises must prevent and limit damage to their business operations by deploying policies, processes, and technologies to detect and block attacks – both internal and external. We endeavour to minimize the vulnerabilities that enable attacks. The enterprise threat environment is changing rapidly, as are the approaches, applications, and technologies enterprises use to engage customers and partners. Therefore, the strategies must change with them. I believe the right approach is to focus on the processes, technologies, and services needed to protect data, app...

Phishing Attacks Through Bot Nets to Steal Millions of Dollars Online

Rock Phish attacks account for 50 percent of phishing incidents and have stolen “tens of millions of dollars” from bank accounts. This is the first time crimeware has been used in a Rock Phish attack. The victims of these phishing attacks get their personal data stolen and are infected by the Zeus Trojan, which is even worst for victims. In 2004 it was the first (and, for a long time, they were the only) gang to employ bot-nets in its phishing infrastructure in order to make the attacks live longer and be more scalable. It also pioneered new techniques in its spam mails so the mail could more easily evade spam filters. Within the past few weeks there has been a new advance — the inclusion of identity theft malware (or Crimeware) into the Rock group’s phishing attacks. While the term "botnet" can be used to refer to any group of bots, such as IRC bots , the word is generally used to refer to a collection of compromised computers (called zombie computers) running programs, usua...
