Category: WAN Optimisation

  • Bridgeworks: Congratulations to our international teams for winning ICT product of the year! Bridgeworks data acceleration solutions are developed with machine learning and artificial intelligence systems. Traditional WAN struggle with latency, packet loss and data management and storage issues. Our AI products greatly diminish WAN limitations and increase data transfer speeds up to 200%.

  • Martin Häring, chief marketing officer at Finastra, says there has been “a significant turnaround in banks’ attitudes to the use of cloud in financial services over the last few years – and there’s no doubt this is being driven in part by PSD2 and open banking.”

  • …in the normal world of commerce, businesses still have work to do within this new framework of GDPR. They must get to grips with it. Such is the concern with possible breaches and their penalties that some organisations are not only insisting that data is encrypted at rest, but also as it traverses the internal…

  • CEOs need to share their vision with IT. CEOs don’t usually get involved at a certain point. It’s a numbers game and CEOs can’t look at the numbers in isolation. IT and other aspects of the company should be integrated with the CEO’s vision of the company and how it can be translated into encompassing…

  • Stopping hackers Advertisement Hackers must be stopped at the entry points with firewalls, remote user authentication, security audits, user education and by implementing other processes – including regularly data back-ups. Once they are in, they’re in. With the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), and other data protection initiatives, data should be encrypted at…

  • Hyperconverged bandwagon Anjan concludes, “Although a hyperconverged infrastructure can deliver the same kind of on-demand scalability as the cloud, and in many cases, beat it in terms of TCO, the ability to source IT without having to invest in on-premise infrastructure and management makes it highly unlikely that the cloud will ever go away. Also,…

  • The cloud can mix well with legacy applications, but you should also consider what your organization can do with its existing infrastructure. Cloud backup is advisable, and increasing your network bandwidth won’t necessarily mitigate the latency effects—nor, for that matter, will a rationalization of your networking costs by reducing your network performance. With machine learning,…

  • With WAN and data acceleration and their ability to maximise the WAN capacity regardless of the distance involved, it is now possible to have datacentres, or the cloud thousands of miles away, whilst retaining performance and the RPO requirements. So, how is this traditional technology, such as WAN optimisation, inhibiting cloud back-up and storage –…

  • As the adoption of cloud moves into more and more organisations along with the growth in unstructured data, there will be a move towards object storage. This will not just occur in the cloud, but as the standard for on premise storage. Object storage removes the limitation on a file systems name space that traditional…

  • …data acceleration can ensure that data can be backed up and retrieved more quickly than ever before. The final tip is to use at least 3 disaster recovery sites to back up data. So, if one goes down, two others can keep you operational – and that’s even better when disaster recovery is achieved seamlessly…
