Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
The capability to define resources on one or more interconnected midrange systems as transparently available to users and applications from within the specified group of loosely coupled systems in a local-or metropolitan-area network.
Industry:Technology
An architecture that ties together uniprocessor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and/or massively parallel processing (MPP) systems with all nodes sharing access to disks. Also called a shared-disk system.
Industry:Technology
A device that handles the remote communications processing for multiple (usually dumb) terminals or workstations.
Industry:Technology
An entity that leverages the cloud environment to provide telecommunication and other services.

Cloud application development (AD) services are tool offerings delivered as a service and used to create custom software applications deployed on an application platform as a service (aPaaS), a cloud-enabled application platform (CEAP) or infrastructure as a service.

Cloud access security brokers (CASBs) are on-premises, or cloud-based security policy enforcement points, placed between cloud service consumers and cloud service providers to combine and interject enterprise security policies as the cloud-based resources are accessed. CASBs consolidate multiple types of security policy enforcement. Example security policies include authentication, single sign-on, authorization, credential mapping, device profiling, encryption, tokenization, logging, alerting, malware detection/prevention and so on.

Closed-loop performance management (PM) is the discipline of “taking action” on the results of performance monitoring, and blending these new modified results with updated plans and goals to drive business value and impact. This is achieved through a combination of management processes, a metrics framework and applications that support real-time access to operational and strategic data, coupled with collaboration and alerting technologies that enable other applications or users to define, agree on and monitor actions based on feedback.
Industry:Technology
A system built around MRP that also includes production planning, master production schedule, and capacity requirements planning. Once the planning phase is complete and the plans have been accepted as realistic and attainable, the execution functions come into play. These include the shop floor control functions of input/output measurement, detailed scheduling and dispatching, as well as anticipated delay reports from both the shop and vendors, purchasing follow-up and control, and other functions. The term “closed loop” implies that not only is each of these elements included in the overall system, but also that there is feedback from the execution functions so the planning can be kept valid at all times.
