  • 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…

  • …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.

  • To establish its strategies for 2019, an organisation can nevertheless turn to data held in its Customer Relationship Management systems, and in a whole host of other databases to enable them to complete some data and trend analysis. This might involve some big data analysis to examine data stored in different places to gain a…

  • 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.

  • David Trossell, the company’s CEO and CTO, was personally recognised by Information Age at Tech Leader Awards ceremony’s CTO of the Year category. “Recognising the leaders behind the UK’s technology industry is important, and I’m delighted that the Tech Leaders Awards facilitates this deserved celebration,” said Information Age’s Nick Ismail. “I would like to thank…

  • Datacentre IT skill shortages are expected to intensify with an ageing work pool, as well as an overwhelming male domination of the sector. Part of the problem is the fact that very few people set out to work in data centres, and that nobody is really taught enough about them. In ‘STEMming the tide of…

  • David Trossell’s advice is as follows: “Santa is asking the same questions that many other companies are asking – how it will improve my infrastructure and reduce costs but still stay relevant? Many are looking to use the hybrid cloud as part of an infrastructure solution. This will maximise the existing infrastructure whilst allowing to…

  • 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…
