  • Emily Hayter, lead software architect at WAN data acceleration provider Bridgeworks, finds that currently there are an insufficient number of cross-industry collaborations. However, she finds that there are many start-ups that “may be more open to partnerships to cover the bases”. She adds: “Part of that view comes from all of the large vehicle manufacturers,…

  • “As a company, we believe it can accelerate the critical path of discovery of a cure, and good outcomes for COVID-19 researchers and as a British Company, Bridgeworks already has a widely published track record with significant international reach.”

  • To achieve synchronicity, Investec turned to Bridgeworks. As part of proof of concept, an MPLS WAN link was used, with a handover from one SP to another between continents with Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Operating systems on Dell commodity systems. Even Santa is impressed with the results the bank achieved. With its measurement and…

  • …organisations may deploy SD-WANs for accelerating digital transformation, to manage the explosion of application traffic to the cloud – as well as the need for “homogeneous network performance at all sites”, but there is still the question about whether all of the claims stack up. Arguably, SD-WANs need a WAN Data Acceleration overlay for digital…

  • Much of the back-up-as-a-Service (BUaaS) industry is focusing on how to make it easier to back up to the cloud via a cloud gateway.

  • “If your data protection or cybersecurity plan includes the use of the wrong VPN, you could be unwittingly putting yourself in a much worse position than if you had no protection plan at all. I believe bad cybersecurity is much worse than no cybersecurity at all, and the best intentions in the world can still…

  • 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…

  • “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…
