What is Next-Generation Data Protection?

Posted by Logicalis US | Jul 27, 2018 | Featured Posts, Security |

Reading Time: 3 minutesIt’s no longer news that the volume of data is exploding. What’s news is that the business value of that data continues to increase and, with it, the need for rapid access. Unfortunately, moving massive volumes of data from one place to another in traditional storage approaches is no longer viable. Backup and restore take much longer, impacting availability for applications and services. And organizations that require agility to effectively compete in the global economy cannot access data quickly enough to maintain their edge. While previous generations of backup and storage were built on a common...

Intent-Based Networking (IBN) Can Help You Achieve Business Success

Posted by Logicalis US | Jul 24, 2018 | Featured Posts |

Reading Time: 3 minutesBy Troy Sempsrott, Director of Architecture/Networking & Collaboration In traditional network administration, an administrator manually configures each device (switches, routers, firewalls, etc.) through a web page or command line interface (CLI)—a labor-intensive, time-consuming, error-prone process that often involves hundreds or even thousands of devices. To overcome these issues, software-defined networking (SDN) upped the ante with network automation and scalability. A centralized management platform automates the configuration process and provides enhanced visibility into both physical and virtual networks. The next big thing: intent-based networks “The next big thing in networking,” says Gartner, is intent-based networking (IBN). An...

The Future of Cybersecurity: Data is the New Security Perimeter

Posted by Logicalis US | Jul 18, 2018 | Extensible IT, Featured Posts, Hybrid IT, Security |

Reading Time: 3 minutesBy Ron Temske, VP/Security & Networking Solutions For many years, a secure perimeter was the core concept in organizational cybersecurity. This concept gradually evolved into 3 zones: Outside – The outside world (the Internet) was bad and shouldn’t be trusted; DMZ – The Demilitarized Zone containing “good” resources that needed to be accessed by the outside world and, therefore, had to be isolated from the rest of the network; and Inside – The internal environment which was exclusively made up of “good” people and devices. The result was a perimeter where everything outside it is untrustworthy...

Reading Time: 3 minutesBy Brandon Harris, Sr. Director/HPE Solutions The transformation of HPE from a technology company to a solutions company is complete—and it was on full display at HPE Discover 2018 in Las Vegas.

Reading Time: 3 minutesBy Mike Riley, Healthcare Solutions Practice Leader $4,348,000…that’s how much the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will have to pay in civil penalties for HIPAA violations related to its encryption policies. The three data breaches occurred in 2012 and 2013, and involved the theft of an unencrypted employee laptop and the loss of two unencrypted flash drives, according to a recent article. The devices contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of more than 33,500 people, though evidence indicated that none of that information was ever viewed. Think about that. The breaches involved just...

Reading Time: 3 minutesBy Mike Alley, Service Management Principal Today’s IT organizations face similar challenges. How do you deliver IT services that work together seamlessly, are easily managed, and enable the business to grow through digital transformation? In other words, how do you give your organization a competitive advantage? In many IT organizations, services have traditionally been reactive. Something goes wrong, and IT gets a call. The focus is on managing the technology. With IT service management (ITSM), the focus shifts to delivering value-added services to users. With the focus on managing services, IT organizations can more effectively deliver...

How to Future-Proof Your OpenVMS Operating System

Posted by Logicalis US | Jun 27, 2018 | Digital Workplace, Featured Posts, Hybrid IT |

Reading Time: 3 minutesBrandon Harris, Sr. Director/HPE Solutions In 2013, HPE announced that it was ending support for the 35-year-old OpenVMS operating system in 2020. For OpenVMS devotees, who prize its consistent, highly available, and reliable performance, it was devastating news. OpenVMS is well known for its security by design and for its clustering and disaster-tolerant capabilities. IT managers also appreciate its engineering and other unique functionality. It runs mission-critical systems you don’t often hear about in key industries—automotive, telecommunications, healthcare, education, and manufacturing (process control) systems. It’s also used in highly secure markets such as energy (nuclear power...

Posted by Logicalis US | Jun 25, 2018 | Extensible IT, Featured Posts, Hybrid IT |

Reading Time: 2 minutesBy Brian Day, Vice President/Platform Strategy and Services Today’s organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver services, experiences, and results to meet fast-changing customer expectations. At the same time, there have been significant changes in how IT is delivered.

These changes have created the opportunity for new processes and retooling, as well as a new consideration of how IT is run and the value it brings to an organization.

How Extensible IT Can Help You Manage Business Change

Posted by Logicalis US | May 17, 2018 | Extensible IT, Featured Posts |

Reading Time: 2 minutesNickie Peters, Sr. Product Marketing Manager For many businesses, the IT department is an inescapable cost center—it helps churn out monthly reports, stores and protects data, and keeps business systems running. Resources are scarce (and getting scarcer) and the IT team is often left to react to change rather than proactively manage it. In essence, “turning dials” has become more important than innovation that can drive business growth. But these businesses can’t continue this way. According to Deloitte’s Tech Trends 2018 report: “IT’s traditional reactive, siloed ways of working cannot support the rapid-fire change that drives...
