ZSL Won Information Week 500 Award for the Business Technology Innovation Leadership!

Greetings!


ZSL Earns a Spot on 2010 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators Across America

Value Added R&D and Eco-friendly Computing puts ZSL in Top 250 Category

Edison, NJ, September 15, 2010 – ZSL, the leading ISV and Global Systems Integrator, today announced that it made this year’s InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation’s most innovative users of business technology. ZSL debuted on the list of Information Week’s Top 250 category for the first time. The 2010 list was revealed last night at a gala awards ceremony at the exclusive InformationWeek 500 Conference taking place at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, CA.

The ‘Eco-Friendly’ computing solution’s success is the direct result of our business aligned R&D and innovative ways to fusion the Cloud, Enterprise Mobile, and VDI technologies in to our Green IT initiative.

“For 22 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology,” said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. “As we start to emerge from the worst recession in decades, the IT focus is now on driving growth—new sources of revenue, new relationships with customers, even new business models. This year’s ranking placed special emphasis on those companies and business technology executives leading that charge.”

“We are honored to be recognized among the leading technology innovators " said Sudarshan Venkatraman, Chairman and CEO of ZSL. “The award helps not only validating our R&D roadmap but also drives our commitment to develop more number of business and technology solutions to drive the Green IT and Sustainable Computing adoption worldwide” added Mr. Venkatraman.

InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America’s best-known companies. Top winners have included: CME Group, Conway, National Semiconductor, Kimberly-Clark, Hilton Hotels and Unum. The InformationWeek 500 rankings are unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.

ZSL in Channel Pro Magazine's Cover Story : Cloud Programs for Partners




Providers of cloud computing services are turning to the channel to help manage historic customer demand. Here’s a taste of what the top providers’ partner programs are offering. By Lauren Gibbons Paul

Even for an industry prone to hype, the hubbub surrounding cloud services is, well, sky-high. Few sectors have garnered more interest or headier predictions than cloud computing, a phrase that refers to running data centers on the Internet.

Virtualizing the IT environment in this way differs from traditional computing and outsourcing in that infrastructure is located “in the cloud” (on the Internet) as opposed to on premises. Cloud-based services carry all the benefits to the user of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model—no need to pay up front for infrastructure, no need to run or maintain the environment, pay-as-you-go pricing, easy scalability.

BY THE NUMBERS

According to IDC, public cloud services will outpace traditional IT spending over the next five years, representing $44.2 billion, or roughly 10 percent of all U.S. IT spending by 2013. IDC’s forecast does not include private cloud services, in which providers supply the virtual platform behind a firewall for greater security and better reliability. Amazon leads market share of the public cloud segment with its EC2 offering, and several players are vying to dominate private cloud services.

Gartner estimated worldwide cloud services revenue would surpass $56.3 billion last year, a 21.3 percent increase over 2008 revenue of $46.4 billion. By 2013, Gartner forecasts the market will reach $150.1 billion.

“We have been absolutely overrun with customer demand,” says Richard Reiner, Ph.D., CEO of Enomaly Inc. in Toronto. Targeting primarily the telecom industry, Enomaly has fielded more than 1,500 new customer opportunities since announcing its cloud-based Elastic Computing Platform last August.

TAPPING THE CLOUD ANNUITY

OpSource Inc. is a service provider that started offering enterprise application managed services eight years ago, which it has now moved to the cloud. When 70 percent of its new customers turned out to be resellers or VARs, management quickly realized that it needed a channel to capitalize on the opportunities.

“It became apparent to us pretty quickly that the consumption of infrastructure is still handled in many cases through the reseller or integrator, the trusted adviser,” says Jon Beck, senior vice president of sales and business development for OpSource Inc., in Santa Clara, Calif. “We developed a program designed for traditional resellers and white-labeling.”

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Like the sound of these opportunities? Here’s what to look for when you begin to sort through the providers’ individual channel programs to see which one(s) might be best for you and your customers:

Flexibility and support are the top two things that attracted Shiv Kumar, executive vice president for ZSL Inc., when he began scouting out cloud partnership programs for his company last year. ZSL is an Edison, N.J., reseller of application migration services. Kumar liked the fact that OpSource offered two major options: the Cloud Service Referral Partner, which receives a straight percentage share of revenue, and the Cloud White Label Partner, in which resellers get a discount based on their volume of sales.

ZSL chose the latter. Kumar also appreciated that OpSource offers partners support. “They help a lot with lead and demand generation. We need to do cloud-readiness assessments for our customers, analyzing whether cloud makes sense. OpSource helps us make sure we are doing the right education,” says Kumar. ZSL representatives take prospects through an analysis of the application they are considering for migration, the underlying infrastructure, and usage patterns. For applications that are used 24/7, cloud may not be the best fit.

A collaborative approach was high on Justin Santa Barbara’s list when he went looking for a private cloud provider with which to partner. Founder of FathomDB, a San Francisco provider of cloud-based database services, Santa Barbara was already familiar with and using the Amazon public cloud. But he was disappointed with the level of interaction with that company. When Santa Barbara discovered the Rackspace Cloud, he was immediately won over.

Alignment with your organization and existing offerings. Independent analyst Rob Enderle cautions channel partners that plan to resell white-label cloud services to do all the due diligence they would before coming to market with any offering. “You need to do all the things you would do to rationalize a new product line,” says Enderle, principal at San Jose, Calif.-based Enderle Group. “You don’t want to have to retrain your sales force in order to sell this. If it requires a skill change to sell the product, it may not be efficient for you to do it. Read More

The Emergence of Eco-Friendly Computing Reduce Reuse Recycle




June, 2010: In U.S., the Data Centers accounted for 61 billion kWh or approx 1.5 percent of the Nation’s electricity consumption.

Staggering Statistics
In U.S., the Data Centers accounted for 61 billion kWh or approx 1.5 percent of the Nation’s electricity consumption. This usage is equivalent to the consumption of approximately 6 million U.S. households with the estimated figure of 12% increase annually according to the study report from the EPA.

The report puts a tremendous responsibility on the IT industry to adopt the Green IT initiatives more seriously and make the IT infrastructure as Eco-Friendly or Energy Efficient.

The EPA reports that energy usage in data centers doubled between 2000 and 2006 and is predicted to double again by 2011, hence the interest in energy efficiency.

Business leaders searching for a green strategy encounter few roadmaps and established rules and plenty of hidden twists and turns.

Emerging Standards
The Energy Star Version 5.0 standard provides guidance for choosing energy-efficient equipment, including Network devices, PC and Laptops, workstations, small-scale servers, and thin clients. To earn the Energy Star Version 5.0 label, the computing devices must meet the set power consumption criteria.

The IT infrastructure managers and Technology Manufacturers looking for greener alternatives will begin to benefit this year from a major initiative aimed at reducing the power consumed by Ethernet device- IEEE 802.3az, or the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, will implement low-power idle (LPI) modes for the full range of Ethernet BASE-T transceivers (100Mb, 1GbE and 10GbE) and the backplane physical layer standards (1GbE, 4-lane 1GbE and 10GbE).

The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) goes further in providing guidance to select environmentally friendly electronic device or equipment. In addition to requiring Energy Star rating, EPEAT registration evaluates computing device based on further criteria including materials selection and composition, life cycle considerations, end-of-life design and management, and packaging. EPEAT registers products at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels according to how many of the optional criteria they meet on top of the 23 required criteria.

Virtualization and Cloud clean the Carbon
Virtualization, cloud computing, data center optimization and legacy modernization are the major focus areas for the IT organizations globally since the economic meltdown.

Cost savings and IT infrastructure consolidation are driving the Green IT agenda at the moment. The shrinking IT budget is also causing IT to reconsider how to run things more cost effectively as we continue to do more with less.

Virtualization clearly offers the promise of better resource utilization and lower operating expense. Energy-Star servers, outside air economizers and the like offer true green advantages.

A recent survey of IT Managers worldwide about their environmental strategies indicates about 54% admitted that cloud computing is now part of their overall environmental strategy. And over 21% of IT managers believe that cloud computing is a much greener alternative to traditional computing infrastructures, but it seems that the vast majority still remain to be convinced.

Green Client Computing Power Savior
The benefits of efficient Client Computing through desktop virtualization and print management creates significant impact on the energy. Longer PC lifecycles and more efficient power usage are other desktop virtualization benefits.

Hosted virtual desktops continue to garner significant market attention. Organizations considering their deployment can minimize cost and risks by following implementation best practices outlined by the industry experts. Desktop Virtualization technology will help in extending the lifetime of the Desktops by stretching the PC refresh cycle to reduce the load on already overtaxed landfills. Avoid sending hazardous materials to those landfills, old systems and supplies can be reused, repurposed, and/or recycled.

Green Client Computing is a combination of strategies and initiatives that reduce the environmental footprint of IT infrastructure. This arises from reductions in energy use and consumables, including hardware, power, and paper and extending the equipments lifetime among others. Because of these reductions, Green IT initiatives also produce cost savings in energy use, purchases, management and support, in addition to environmental benefits. Beyond cost savings and environmental benefits, some initiatives may address stakeholder and regulatory needs and demands.

Green Journey
Green computing is a continuous journey and everyone is responsible to play their role to make computing greener with the optimized energy usage to operate the electronic devices and mushrooming professional gadgets at work place. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient Servers and Accessories or Peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste).

Green IT is taking on a bigger role for many reasons, including an increased awareness of environmental danger; concern about power bills; regulatory requirements; government procurement rules; and a sense that corporations should embrace social responsibility.

Since IT is still responsible for 2% of all carbon releases, IT managers should put best practices in place to

- Optimize the Power usage with the proper Power Management software
- Actively manage the desktop or laptop power settings
- Modernize the Data Center by Virtualizing the Servers, Desktops and Applications
- Mandate the purchase of energy efficient computing devices
- Establishes energy measurement and take the responsibility to monitor the energy usage
- Remember to Reduce ... Reuse ...Recycle...
