  • At a very basic level, all directors, including your MD, should back up all their data, personal and corporate, using a variety of cloud services, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. It’s often a good idea to get back-up solutions on more than one service to be sure work can continue unabated even if disaster…

  • Learn how Bridgeworks Ltd accelerates WAN data.

  • David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks, explains that server migrations are often necessary whenever there are old systems and or old storage arrays. With higher capacity disk drives that have lower power requirements these can force a migration wherever there is a need to lower power consumption. Equipment failures also occur when products reach…

  • Most traditional forms of dealing with network and data latency, as well as packet loss, fall short of their promise. This includes WAN optimisation. SD-WANs are great, but their performance can also be improved by adding a WAN data acceleration layer. With the growth of the Internet of Things, therefore, organisations are looking for new…

  • “This increasing risk comes at a high price. Cybercrime has a direct GDP cost of at least $275 billion per year currently, according to researchers, RAND. All these challenges are causing headaches for CEOs, CTOs, CRMOs, and insurers, above all. It’s understandably become one of the most important risks to evaluate for insurance buyers, in…

  • …while SD-WAN is a capable technology, it doesn’t quite mitigate the issues of network and latency or help reduce packet loss, in a way that WAN data acceleration can achieve, according to David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks.

  • To achieve this level of flexibility, there must be a move away from the current method of hand-cranking everything. It’s time to employ artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to provide a high level of automation abstraction to create flexible dynamic infrastructures.

  • Chris Skinner, Co-Founder of the Financial Services Club, writes in the Finanser that ‘Banks without a digital core will fail.’ But what does he mean? He says that data is the key to disruption, and most people will agree with his statement.

  • WAN data acceleration is the approach that sets itself aside from the traditional approaches and technologies of WAN optimization and SD-WAN. It takes a totally different approach to mitigating the latency and packet loss issues. The indomitable fact is that the speed of light is just not fast enough, and that is what governs latency…

  • …Gemma Baker adds that, in compliance with data protection regulations such as the European Union’s GDPR, all of the live chat conversations are backed up to the cloud for a specific period of time. However, she adds: “Some organisations will transfer these chats into their own systems.”, which is advisable because organisations shouldn’t overly rely…
