I will then follow up with a post on how it operates and for the final post in the series, I will look at how you can detect and monitor BitTorrent activity http://cwonline.computerworld.com/t/7867960/869152227/552787/0/ Shark Tank: And a plan to un-crash it if that doesn't work This IT pilot fish starts work with a big company, and it takes a little adjusting -- especially when it comes to the red tape of a full-blown ITIL change management system. http://cwonline.computerworld.com/t/7867960/869152227/552788/0/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IDC and Computerworld's 8th Annual BI & Analytics Survey What's the status of BI and analytics in your organization?
