Storage
Few organizations are truly positioned to deliver on the promise of data-driven decision-making. Here's how to tell if yours is one.
Companies have learned to thrive - and in some cases survive - by leveraging data for competitive advantage. But how many organizations are truly data-driven enterprises? ...?more
A crucial question that plagues cloud application developers is, 'What kind of storage should we use for our app?'
Unlike other choices like compute runtimes-Lambda/serverless, containers or virtual machines-data storage choice is highly sticky and makes future application improvements and migrations much harder ...?more
On the outside and on the inside, our newest data center is more than a little different: there are no cooling towers chugging on the roof, no chillers, or coolants at all.
This data center, owned and developed by Nautilus Data Technologies, Inc., is nice and cool inside. Built with a mix of maritime and industrial water-cooling technologies that use river water to cool everything inside-racks, servers, switches, and people-this data center is environmentally awesome, secure, fascinating, and other such w ...?more
Security
Cloud security is an ongoing requirement for all organizations born and built in the cloud.
As organizations build and develop new features and expand their presence in the cloud, they must not only contend with the ability to continually grow their security coverage, but likewise align with any changes to compliance and regulatory requirements. Additionally, and importantly to SaaS companies, security programs must also demonstrate verifiable proof of a robust security program. One way to probably demonstrate security controls is with a SOC 2 report. ...?more
As part of Solutions Review's Premium Content Series, Christopher Prewitt of Inversion6 takes us through the five pillars every IT security team should have to hold up their castle in the cloud.
Like a medieval castle, protecting our IT assets used to be about digging deeper and wider moats to keep away invaders. Today, there is no castle. Our people and information are as scattered as the attackers attempting to exploit them- and like an old moat with nothing to guard, traditional methods of protection are largely obsolete against modern forms of attack. ...?more
With business and technology becoming increasingly intertwined, organizations are being forced to rethink how they look at digital security.
Once overlooked or viewed as a mere afterthought, today it has become a business-critical necessity. As a result, organizations across industry lines are racing to improve their security postures. Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are at the core of this transformation, spearheading a wave of proactive and future-forward cybersecurity change while enabling security-first innovation. ...?more
The entire security team should share in the responsibility to secure sensitive data.
Several recent high-profile instances of data loss serve as cautionary tales for organizations handling sensitive data - including a recent case where the personal data of nearly half a million Japanese citizens was put in a compromising position when the USB drive on which it was stored was mislaid. ...?more
With the new requirements set to start in March 2024, organizations should start preparing now -- a multi-step process that will be felt across the organization.
The upcoming changes to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) will affect every organization that stores, transmits, or processes cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data...?more
AI
AI is becoming a crucial component of all systems, leading to dramatic improvements in software and hardware capabilities

The steady maturation of MLCommons/MLPerf as an AI benchmarking tool was apparent in today's release of MLPerf v2.1 Inference results.
Twenty-one organizations submitted 5,300 performance results and 2,400 power measurement. While Nvidia again dominated, showcasing its new H100 GPU, Qualcomm impressed on both performance and power consumption metrics. Intel ran a Sapphire Rapids CPU-based system, albeit in the preview category. AI start-ups Biren, Moffet AI, Neural Magic, Sapeon were among the entrants. ...?more
When DeepMind, an Alphabet subsidiary, started off more than a decade ago, solving some most pressing research questions and problems with AI wasn't at the top of the company's mind.
Instead, the company started off AI research with computer games. Every score and win was a measuring stick of success, and pointed to DeepMind's AI going in the right direction. ...?more

Database
Time series databases (or TSDBs) are databases that have been optimized for processing time series data. Time series data is made up of data records that are indexed using timestamps.
The timestamps provide a reference for each of the data records and show how they relate to one another in time. An example of time series data would be the data taken from an assembly line sensor, which supplies a continuous flow of data, including when the data was recorded ...?more
MFA
Despite the complexities involved, organizations must force two-factor authentication sooner than later, as a single password may be the only thing protecting your data.
In May, GitHub took a step toward improving software security, announcing that contributors to all code repositories must use two-factor authentication (2FA) by the end of 2023. While obviously a welcome change, one has to wonder why they're waiting so long. ...?more
Cloud
While cloud computing and its many forms (private, public, hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments) have become ubiquitous with innovation and growth over the past decade, cybercriminals have closely watched the migration and introduced innovations of their own to exploit the platforms.
Most of these exploits are based on poor configurations and human error. New IBM Security X-Force data reveals that many cloud-adopting businesses are falling behind on basic security best practices, introducing more risk to their organizations. ...?more
As your organization grows, so does your reliance on cloud services. But with that growth comes the risk of cloud sprawl - when too many cloud services are added without proper planning and oversight, leading to security and compliance risks. How do you know if your cloud is in danger?
And how can you address the problem before it becomes unmanageable? ...?more
Have you noticed some brand logos show up in the primary inbox in Gmail and other emails? Are you wondering how these brands are able to show their logos instead of just their first letters in the avatar slot? Do you also want to personalize your emails this way?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, here's the solution you're looking for: Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs), digital certificates that make it all possible. Conceptualized and primarily developed by Entrust, VMCs enable organizations to display their registered trademark logo alongside emails in their customer's inbox. BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) are the guidelines that standardize how to get your logo to appear on email. ...?more

Marketing
Remote work can make one miss out on opportunities to build unattainable personal connections without direct human interaction. It's not the same without face-to-face interactions. Now the question is, how should corporations react?
Creating appealing digital experiences that persuade people to participate is crucial. Webinars are an essential part of this strategy since they capture the interest of a broad audience. Unlike e-books, blog posts, videos, and podcasts, webinars allow for two-way conversations while still providing audiences with knowledge and information. ...?more

Control your transition to Storage as-a-Service with Dell APEX.
If the explosion of cloud services has taught us anything, it's that elastic scale, OpEx consumption models and agile deployments are critical aspects of a successful IT strategy. When there's a need to scale while managing unpredictable or bursty workloads, delivering resources as-a-service makes more sense than trying to manage them individually. The additional need for more control and security that cannot necessarily be offered by public cloud has led to the rise of on-premises as-a-service infrastructure solutions. ...?more
