The DevOps movement was born of the need to improve IT service delivery agility and found initial traction within many large public cloud services providers. Underpinning DevOps is the philosophy found in the Agile Manifesto, which emphasizes people (and culture) and seeks to improve collaboration between operations and development teams. DevOps implementers also attempt to better utilize technology—especially automation tools that can leverage an increasingly programmable and dynamic infrastructure from a life cycle perspective.

Device-embedded biometric authentication is a specialized use of biometric authentication methods to improve the security of endpoint devices, such as notebook PCs, smartphones and tablets, using capture devices (sensors) and biometric feature extraction and comparison software built into the device itself. Because such a mobile device is essentially personal to one user, the mode is typically a one-to-one comparison of a probe biometric sample against the user’s biometric reference stored on the device.
Industry:Technology
Storage subsystems and SAN infrastructure component software products provide configuration utilities and agents that collect capacity, performance and status information, usually for a single device type or a set of devices from a single vendor. Most of the products in this segment are called element managers.
Industry:Technology
Development and integration services support the implementation and rollout of new network infrastructure, including consolidation of established network infrastructure. Activities may include hardware or software procurement, configuration, tuning, staging, installation and interoperability testing.

Desktop virtualization is a technology that decouples a PC desktop environment from a physical device so that the virtual machine (VM) of the PC desktop stored in a centralized server can be accessed from a remote client device through a network. There are various desktop virtualization technologies targeting different use cases, such as hosted virtual desktop (HVD), local VM, streaming desktop and hosted shared desktop.

Desktop outsourcing is a multiyear or annuity contract or relationship involving the day-to-day management responsibility for operating desktop/client platforms. Services include any combination (or all) of the product support and professional services as they specifically relate to the ongoing management of the desktop resources (including desktop peripherals). Minimally, desktop outsourcing contracts always include services encompassed by the computing environment of the operation services segment. Help desk management services are included only to the extent that problem determination and resolution is at the computing hardware level or the infrastructure software or OS software level. Application management services are included only to the extent of the infrastructure software or OS software level. A desktop system can include any client system (including a notebook) and may include the client systems of remote employees, such as telecommuters and mobile staff. Services may be provided at the client site or off-site. IT assets may be owned by either the client, the ESP or a third party. Contracts may include the transfer of client employees, IT assets and facilities to the ESP.

Design-to-demand technology in the automotive industry provides the ability to incorporate consumer requirements faster and more accurately into product attributes (such as vehicle design, control ergonomics and overall functionality) and product applications (for example, product life cycle management (PLM)) to develop desirable automobiles that meet higher consumer acceptance.
Industry:Technology
Design thinking is a multidisciplinary process that builds solutions for complex, intractable problems in a technically feasible, commercially sustainable and emotionally meaningful way. Design thinkers balance intuitive originality (the hallmarks of great designers) with analytic mastery (the hallmarks of business leaders and engineers) to create business-focused outcomes that generate transformative, innovative and strategic change.
