Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
Computational-fluid-dynamic (CFD) analysis uses numerical algorithms to analyze and model the flow of air around data center hardware surfaces such as servers and storage systems. These simulations provide point-in-time data on the flow, speed, direction and temperature of the air. With this information, data center and facilities managers are able to determine the efficiency of air-handling cooling units to remove heat and determine the optimal layout of hardware and perforated floor tile placement in a data center.

Enables simultaneous and cost-effective production and archiving in print and Internet formats by integrating five key processes: document creation and retrieval, assembly and formatting, internal archiving, prepress and printing and Internet publishing.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is the annualized average rate of revenue growth between two given years, assuming growth takes place at an exponentially compounded rate. The CAGR between given years X and Z, where Z – X = N, is the number of years between the two given years, is calculated as follows:
CAGR, year X to year Z = ((value in year Z/value in year X) ^ (1/N)-1)
For example, the CAGR for 2006 to 2011 is calculated as:
CAGR, 2006 to 2011 (X = 2006, Z = 2011, N = 5) = ((value in 2011/value in 2006) ^ (1/5)-1)
Industry:Technology
A solution that is assembled and orchestrated from independent parts. Compositions are orchestrated assemblies of data, processes and services. Composition is not synonymous with composite application.
Industry:Technology
Composite content applications (CCAs) are collections of content; the platforms that store, manage and execute them; the processes that leverage them; and the context required to deliver value. CCAs typically include design templates and executable software components, both of which are configured, extended with additional functionality and integrated with existing applications and databases. CCAs require domain expertise from an enterprise developer or a professional service provider to deliver a unique solution.
Industry:Technology
A composite application orchestrates independently developed programs, data and devices to deliver a new solution that none of the previously available applications could deliver on its own. Each resource accessed by a composite application uses a different data model. In most cases, the composite application supports user interactions beyond those provided by the leveraged applications. In other cases, a composite application may act as a service. Some composite applications are built by leveraging other composite applications.
Industry:Technology
Component-based development (CBD) is defined as a set of reuse-enabling technologies, tools and techniques that allow application development (AD) organizations to go through the entire AD process (i.e., analysis design, construction and assembly) or through any particular stage via the use of predefined component-enabling technologies (such as AD patterns, frameworks, design templates) tools and application building blocks.
Industry:Technology
A component architecture in Microsoft’s desktop operating system. A distributed version of COM (i.e., DCOM — the Distributed Component Object Model) enables the development of applications in which components are distributed over several computers (e.g., a client and one or more servers).
Industry:Technology
The object library in Microsoft’s Component Object Model (COM).
Industry:Technology
Technically, a dynamically bindable package of functionality that is managed as a unit and accessed through documented interfaces that can be discovered at runtime. Pragmatically, components tend to fall into two major groups: technical components, which perform a technology-specific task that is application-independent (e.g., a graphical user interface control), and business components, which encapsulate a piece of business functionality.
