Abstract: Business Intelligence (BI) has become a cornerstone of modern enterprises, enabling organizations to transform raw data into actionable insights for informed decision-making. Qlik, through its evolution from QlikView to Qlik Sense, has significantly influenced the BI ecosystem by bridging the gap between guided analytics and self-service, cloud-native intelligence. This review article examines Qlik’s contributions to building data-driven cultures, aligning with the BI lifecycle framework, and integrating with broader enterprise data fabrics. It explores the technical strengths and limitations of QlikView, the architectural advancements of Qlik Sense, and the role of Qlik Data Integration in supporting real-time analytics. Furthermore, it highlights governance, compliance, and adoption strategies, alongside comparative analyses with other BI platforms. Case studies across healthcare, finance, retail, and the public sector illustrate Qlik’s transformative potential, while the discussion of challenges and future directions underscores the need for strategic adoption. The findings suggest that Qlik not only delivers advanced analytics capabilities but also acts as a catalyst for organizational cultural transformation toward data-driven decision-making.

Abstract: The evolution of enterprise IT from traditional data centers to hybrid cloud infrastructures has reshaped the role of the UNIX administrator. Once primarily tasked with maintaining stable and secure on-premises systems, administrators today are expected to integrate legacy UNIX workloads with cloud-native platforms, automation frameworks, and containerized environments. This review explores the challenges and opportunities presented by this transformation, highlighting the critical balance between reliability and agility that defines modern hybrid infrastructures. It examines skill gaps, training demands, and the complexities of managing multi-vendor ecosystems, while also emphasizing the growing importance of automation, predictive monitoring, and compliance frameworks. Real-world case studies across finance, healthcare, and government demonstrate how UNIX continues to play a foundational role in mission-critical operations, even as cloud adoption accelerates. By analyzing future trends such as AIOps, edge computing, and the convergence of system administration with site reliability engineering, the article underscores how UNIX administrators can future-proof their careers. The playbook presented here advocates for continuous upskilling, strategic adoption of hybrid technologies, and a mindset shift from maintenance to innovation. Ultimately, the UNIX administrator’s relevance in the hybrid era is not diminished but redefined, offering new pathways for professional growth and enterprise resilience.

Abstract: Middleware platforms such as JBoss and IBM WebSphere have long served as critical foundations for enterprise applications, yet they face mounting challenges in today’s digital-first landscape. High licensing costs, complex administration, and limited scalability increasingly hinder organizations that must deliver agility, resilience, and compliance at scale. This review article explores the strategic and technical dimensions of migrating legacy middleware to cloud environments. It examines common challenges in on-premises deployments, identifies key drivers such as cost optimization, DevOps enablement, and security enhancement, and evaluates multiple migration strategies ranging from rehosting to complete refactoring. Technical considerations—including application compatibility, data integration, and performance tuning—are analyzed alongside emerging cloud-native alternatives like WebSphere Liberty, JBoss on OpenShift, and serverless frameworks. Case studies from diverse industries highlight real-world migration successes and lessons learned, while best practices underscore the importance of assessment, automation, and compliance. Finally, future trends such as AI-driven middleware, container-native runtimes, and multi-cloud integration are considered as enablers of ongoing modernization. The findings emphasize that cloud migration is not simply an infrastructure shift but a business transformation, positioning enterprises to achieve faster innovation, reduced operational costs, and enhanced strategic flexibility.

Abstract: Hybrid infrastructures have become the backbone of modern enterprise IT, enabling organizations to achieve agility, scalability, and resilience while meeting performance and compliance requirements. Among the foundational elements of these infrastructures are enterprise-grade Linux distributions, with Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) standing out as two dominant platforms. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of how OEL and RHEL optimize hybrid infrastructures by balancing database-intensive workloads, containerized applications, and cloud-native services. The discussion highlights their performance optimization techniques, including kernel tuning, NUMA-aware scheduling, and workload consolidation. It further examines advanced security mechanisms such as SELinux, Ksplice, and compliance automation frameworks that ensure regulatory adherence in sensitive industries like healthcare and finance. Emphasis is placed on the role of orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes and OpenShift, which streamline interoperability across multi-cloud and hybrid models. Through detailed case studies in financial services, healthcare, and retail, the article illustrates practical implementations that leverage the complementary strengths of OEL and RHEL. The findings underscore that adopting a dual-Linux strategy empowers enterprises to optimize workload placement, reduce downtime, and future-proof IT operations, making OEL and RHEL a critical foundation for digital transformation.

Abstract: The rapid adoption of hybrid cloud architectures has created both opportunities and challenges for enterprise IT security. While hybrid models provide scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency, they also expand the attack surface and complicate identity and access management. Fragmented authentication systems, inconsistent policies, and dispersed workloads increase risks of unauthorized access, data breaches, and regulatory non-compliance. This review examines the strategic role of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) and Active Directory (AD) in mitigating these risks. It explores how centralized identity management enables consistent authentication, role-based access control, and audit-ready logging across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments. The article discusses integration strategies with modern platforms, technical approaches for federation and synchronization, and compliance considerations aligned with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS standards. Case studies from financial services, healthcare, and government illustrate practical benefits and best practices, including multi-factor authentication, Single Sign-On, and automated identity lifecycle management. The findings demonstrate that LDAP/AD integration is critical for hybrid cloud security, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance, while positioning organizations to adopt emerging technologies such as AI-driven identity analytics and Zero Trust frameworks.

Abstract: The modern enterprise datacenter increasingly relies on heterogeneous environments combining Solaris, AIX, and CentOS servers to meet diverse workload requirements. While each platform offers unique advantages—Solaris provides stability and high availability, AIX delivers mission-critical performance with robust virtualization, and CentOS enables flexible, cloud-ready deployments—managing them together presents significant operational, security, and performance challenges. This review examines strategies for unifying multi-platform datacenters, including configuration management, centralized monitoring, patching, and automation. Performance optimization techniques such as kernel tuning, filesystem management, network configuration, and virtualization adjustments are analyzed across platforms. Security and compliance considerations, including role-based access control, identity management, and regulatory adherence (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR), are discussed in the context of heterogeneous infrastructures. Integration with cloud and hybrid architectures, containerization, and orchestration tools is explored to enable scalability, workload portability, and disaster recovery. Case studies from finance, healthcare, and retail illustrate practical applications and highlight the benefits of unified management in reducing downtime, enhancing operational efficiency, and maintaining compliance. This blueprint provides actionable guidance for enterprises seeking to harmonize Solaris, AIX, and CentOS environments, optimizing performance, security, and scalability in modern datacenters.
