  • Steven Umbehocker, CEO/CTO, OSNEXUS Corporation, comments regarding metro clusters, “Recovery time objectives are critical to most organisations, so that’s imperative to allow enough performance to keep up with the data ingest rate at a primary site. The other key thing with metro clusters is that they are an increasingly in-demand architecture, where the storage is…

  • For a number of years, the discussion has been about digital transformation, increasing automation, SD-WANs, data protection, security, and every type of cloud. In 2023, these are still likely to play an important role in organisations and in data centres and now multi-cloud and hybrid cloud are driving changes in data centre networks. This is…

  • Loving data is about protecting it, no matter what. However, it’s also about having the ability to restore data quickly whenever it is needed. The trouble is, the further away organizations are from their data centers, the more they can face the imps of latency and packet loss. Although a good technology, not even SD-WANs…

  • With Wide Area Network traffic expected to increase, despite the financial and economic challenges that most enterprises, people, and markets are facing, data center engineer Aelfraedis advised Santa to consider implementing a WAN Acceleration overlay onto his SD-WANs. This is because Santa Inc. needs to maximize bandwidth utilization, while mitigating the effects of latency and…

  • Data is very much behind the success of Black Friday – particularly for e-commerce operations. So it’s no surprise that new research from Oxylabs, in collaboration with CensusWide, reveals that 85% of ecommerce organisations have chosen to make more significant use of data to attract customers. In response to their survey of over 1,000 UK…

  • The witches have used WAN Optimization in the past, but they have found that it doesn’t live up to their expectations. Halloween is here again, and the witches are hard at work. Yet, their Wide Area Networks are suffering from jitter and packet loss caused by the specter of latency. It’s more trick than treat…

  • The effects of the pandemic over the past couple of years has hastened the move towards digital transformation of many companies – and to the cloud in many cases. Organisations concerned for the safety of their personnel and what shape organisations will look like in the future, moved from a traditional capital expenditure (CapEx) model,…

  • With data volumes increasing, healthcare organisations are having to handle, move and back-up growing amounts of data. Even though there is a shift to mobile networks, SD-WANs and to edge computing, there is still a need to find ways to analyse, securely back up, and restore terabytes of data from a wide array of different…

  • When tech encourages more data, you have to increase your performance. Software-defined WANs are a great technology and Robert Sturt, Managing Director of Netify, argues that they’re “the most fundamental change in networking since MPLS took over from frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode.” He believes SD-WANs are the beginning of the technology stack journey…

  • The emergence of 5G is expected to bring forth the exploration of new horizons to connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), as well as to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Erik Varney, managing director of telematics for industrial IoT and automotive at Verizon Business, says that convergence is the major trend that’s occurring within the new generation of…
