Some storage and backup mistakes could be called “sins” because they lead to expensive IT problems – and even risk to the enterprise. But luckily for today’s overworked storage and IT managers, Nimble Storage has developed innovative approaches to addressing the seven biggest storage sins. This whitepaper was brought to you by a partner of
Much has been made about bringing application visibility and control into network security. The reason is obvious: applications can easily slip by traditional port-based firewalls. And the value is obvious: employees use any application they need to get their job done—often indifferent to the risk that use poses to the business. Nearly every network security
The Wide Area Network (WAN) Optimization market has evolved signi- cantly over the past decade. Whereas once it focused exclusively on improving visibility into the WAN and shaping trafc, today it serves a much broader purpose — overcoming bandwidth, latency, and loss challenges to enhance the performance of all IP applications and control IT costs.
THE WEAK LINK IN DATA PROTECTION All too often, the Wide Area Network (WAN) link is the weak link in data protection. Limited bandwidth, high latency, lost packets, and out-of-order packets can all jeopardize strategic data replication and backup initiatives, resulting in missed Recovery Point Objectives and Recovery Time Objectives (RPO/RTO). As data volumes grow,
We all know that happy workers provide better service. In the service industry, there is an even greater drive to create a happy customer experience—and a field worker’s unhappiness can easily turn into lost productivity and a damaging customer experience. What if you could fix some of the things that your field workers hate? What
Almost from the beginning of widespread adoption of computers, organizations realized that disaster recovery was a necessary component of their information technology (IT) plans. Business data had to be backed up, and key processes like order entry, billing, payroll and procurement needed to continue even if an organization’s data center was disabled due to a
Global organizations are increasingly emphasizing business resilience, that is, the ability to adapt rapidly to a continuously changing business environment. This movement has led to important changes in the roles of IT professionals as they become progressively more engaged in managing all types of risk confronting the organization.
“Security intelligence” is a term that is commonly used within the information security community, but one that often lacks clarity and definition. Closely aligned with security incident and event management (SIEM), security intelligence is best defined as: “Security intelligence (SI) is the real-time collection, normalization, and analysis of the data generated by users, applications and
Like so many other things in today’s world, cyber attacks— along with those who perpetrate them—are becoming more sophisticated every year. At the same time, IT resources are moving outside the firewall and enterprises are distributing their applications and data across multiple devices. It’s now clear that simply protecting an organization’s perimeter is not enough.
As the world becomes more digitized and interconnected, the door to emerging security leaks has opened wider. Today, there are billions of RFID tags for items including products, passports, buildings and animals. With more than two billion Internet users and cellular phone subscriptions now exceeding five billion, nearly one in three people worldwide surfs the
