Tideway was named a medalist in two categories at the British Computing Society awards: Organization of the Year and IT Leader of the Year for Richard Muirhead.
Every year, the Geneva-based World Economic Forum honors as “Tech Pioneers” anywhere from 30 to 50 companies offering new technologies or business models that could advance the global economy and have a positive impact on people’s lives. Call it Google for IT managers. Tideway Systems uses artificial-intelligence techniques to map corporate IT infrastructures. Having an up-to-the-minute view of their networks can help corporations cut data center costs and reduce downtime caused by IT troubles.
Tideway’s new product, Foundation 7.2, actually maps data center ENERGY use to business applications. This is important and here is why: Tideway’s new feature gives organizations the ability to analyze power consumption statistics for business applications, view their carbon footprint, and ensure end-of-life, unsupported software is not being used in production applications. In other words, it helps businesses conserve and/or divert their energy/resources where needed.
Tideway, one of the fastest growing providers of data center search software, today announced it has been named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer 2009. One of only 34 companies chosen worldwide and among only 15 IT companies, Tideway was selected by a panel of 44 global technology experts for its innovation and vision in IT management, potential market impact, and proven customer adoption.
The growing demands and complexities of modern data centers not only challenge CTOs on cost and operational factors, but also can degrade the corporate IT efforts—after all, it takes a lot more greenhouse-gas emitting juice to run them these days. According to a new McKinsey quarterly report, large data centers for financial companies, telecoms, etc., take up 25 percent of IT budgets—and will require more as the price of electricity escalates.
That’s why Tideway, a mapping dependency software firm that’s been used by Wachovia and other banks to automatically track data center servers and applications, has an enhanced version of its core offering that can now pinpoint and aggregate energy use and heat output of systems.
Before IT can get to the big work in the data center – decommissioning the inefficient or useless servers, virtualizing the existing resources, relocating to energy-efficient sites – they need accurate and thorough intelligence about their IT assets.
Tideway is excited to be a Silver Plus Sponsor at the 27th Annual Gartner Data Center Conference. Join us in Las Vegas to learn more about Tideway Foundation™ – the award-winning, automated discovery and dependency mapping software that is now available for download.
The current economic climate has put an immediate spotlight on cutting costs and improving operational efficiency. What does this mean for IT organizations already under pressure to improve service delivery to the business? Strategic ITSM/ITIL initiatives may take a backseat to more immediate cost-saving projects like rationalization, standardization and consolidation.
Tideway CEO Richard Muirhead will present as part of a CEO panel at Software Business 2008 in San Francisco, CA. Titled “Growth Challenges and Opportunities,” the panel will focus on the strategies these leading CEOs have employed to grow their businesses, obtain outside funding and adapt to meet new challenges.
Charles Rattray, Director of Professional Services at Tideway, will participate in a panel discussion at Data Center Dynamics in Miami, FL. The session, titled “Going Virtual – Virtualization, Cloud Computing and the Virtual Data Center,” will take place on Wednesday, October 22 at 3:50 pm.
