ShoreGroup Announces Optimized CaseSentry Virtual Deployment Profile for Management of Cloud Services

New York, NY. (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

NEW YORK, NY. June 12, 2012 ShoreGroup, Inc., a premier professional services and software solutions firm, today announced the availability of an optimized virtual CaseSentry Systems Management deployment profile giving service providers greater scalability and flexibility in cloud management capacity. ShoreGroups virtual CaseSentry (vCS) management architecture allows for multi-tenant deployment that combines the benefits of true data segregation and security with seamless growth as service providers grow their clientele. Through integration to ShoreGroups FieldWatch management console, service providers have a multi-tenancy aggregation endpoint for centralized incident management. With the new virtual deployment profile the processor requirement per instance is reduced to as low as 500 MHz while reduced data store of call detail records and operational metrics is supported. The combination enables a higher density of CaseSentry instances to reside on each server, thereby reducing the physical server count, power consumption and related cost.

The new virtualized CaseSentry deployment profile also includes the full integration of Advanced Logic Profiles (ALPs) available in a traditional CaseSentry system. CaseSentry ALPs are a set of patented elements performing stateful processing on millions of simultaneous, complex systems and network management flows to determine the precise root cause of an incident. Traditional event driven management platforms lack stateful monitoring and cannot accurately process duplicate events, out-of-order events, and long time periods between related events, which results in improper modeling of complex application behavior causing both false-positive and false-negative results when chaining together assurance logic. Incorporation of ALPs in the virtualized CaseSentry deployment profile provides the effective management and visibility that service providers require to maintain the highest level of availability within their hosted and cloud environments.

By taking advantage of the optimized virtual CaseSentry deployment profile, service providers supporting complex unified communications and contact center services can take advantage of stateful flow processing to profitably support Day 2 or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, said Christos Klardie, ShoreGroups Director of Contact Center Engineering. In this CaseSentry deployment model, service providers get the best of both worlds, a small footprint with powerful query and analysis capability providing the insight that operations personnel require.

ShoreGroup provides industry-leading management applications, maintenance services, professional services and product solutions for unified communications and contact centers, virtualized data centers and networks.

Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) July 24, 2012

The Booth Company (TBC), an international provider of 360 degree feedback and survey hosting solutions announces the release of a new Sales Management Survey that addresses the growing importance of including first-line and middle sales managers into an organizational development plan.

With the stagnant economy, organizations rely more intensely on the sales team to grow both existing and new revenue channels. First-line and middle sales managers are at the core of the sales process and a business-critical part of an organization. However these employees are often overlooked when it comes to training and development programs. Ironically, organizations seem to have a close eye on sales but often overlook the possibility of improving their sales team by including them in the companys organizational development initiatives.

The Sales Management Survey (SMS) not only helps sharpen communication and teamwork skills, but they are designed to stretch the sales skill development and goals into early stages of leadership competencies. Sales managers have the unique responsibility of implementing sales strategies and achieving sales goals, explains Derek Murphy, CEO of The Booth Company, this challenge is the basis for the sales management survey, giving the sales manager valuable feedback specific to the sales management role to create a starting point for on-going development.

The SMS is built on the Task Cycle
