Major changes have taken place in the network in the past 15 years. The type
of data that users are passing across the pipes is significantly different in
size and composition. And, the coming “data explosion” promises to put
even the most robust networks to the test.
When you add in technologies like virtualization and the need to access cloud
computing solutions reliably, it’s no wonder that the network sometimes
falls behind the times.
If you want to modernize your data center’s network, here are some guiding
facts and principles you need to consider:
Video is growing in impact. Around 70% of organizations in a recent survey
indicated that they either have already implemented a network-based video
solution, or they will do so within one year. Bandwidth demands are growing,
as ever. Depending on the size, structure, and nature of your organization,
you can expect... (more)
Over the past decade, we’ve become much more robust in our approach to
information security. We recognize that our company’s largest
vulnerabilities have to do with its computer systems, and that data security
is at the core of loss prevention, disaster recovery, and even normal
operations.
Virtualization has created a much more efficient environment for our
technology, but it’s also raised some new types of security risks. If
you’re going to keep business running as usual and keep it secure, you need
to know how to mitigate some of these risks.
Here are some things to keep in... (more)
For the past several years, companies have been making use of cloud computing
solutions. Cloud solutions offer agility and scalability that are often hard
to duplicate in-house, and they offer a way for companies to meet specific
business functions without large capital investments. Cloud-based storage is
one of the areas that has seen relatively little activity in the business
world, while it’s taken serious hold in the consumer marketplace.
The success of companies like Dropbox in providing cloud-based storage
solutions, however, has more and more businesses asking whether such ... (more)
Like other trends in technology, cloud computing is constantly being
redefined and re-understood. The fact of the matter is that, while we have a
general agreement on what cloud computing is, the term has come to mean many
things to many people. The advent of cloud storage services and even
Apple’s iCloud has only served to further muddy the waters, even in IT.
In the most basic sense, cloud computing refers to the use of an app or
service that’s hosted in a non-traditional, non-server-based manner. In
that sense, however, cloud computing is very broad, and perhaps that’s the
ri... (more)
Everyone is talking about cloud computing today, but not everyone means the
same thing when they do. While there is this general idea behind the cloud
– that applications or other business functions exist somewhere away from
the business itself – there are many iterations that companies look to in
order to actually use the technology. Cloud computing offers a variety of
ways for businesses to increase their IT capacity or functionality without
having to add infrastructure, personnel, and software.
Here are six different types of cloud computing and a little bit about what
they o... (more)
