Threat Stack announced the publication of the 451 Research Pathfinder Report: Refocusing Security Operations in the Cloud Era. The Pathfinder Report, commissioned by Threat Stack, provides specific and actionable guidance for IT, DevOps, and security teams as they adapt to the increased adoption of public cloud, DevOps practices, and modern infrastructure like containers.

As organizations continue to adopt public cloud and drive towards digital transformation initiatives, many will shift towards a DevOps culture that values agility and flexibility in the development process. The 451 Research Pathfinder Report cautions that it can be easy to overlook security during this transition and provides security guidance for organizations with an IT infrastructure in transition.

SolarWinds MSP, a global leader in delivering comprehensive, scalable IT service management solutions to IT solution providers and MSPs, has today launched MSP Pulse, a benchmarking tool that is designed to enable managed service providers to effectively understand the health of their business, with deep insight into opportunity areas for new investment, and an understanding of how they rank against their peers.

Pooling your money into places of investment can seem daunting, especially if you’re not able to gain a guarantee that your venture will be fruitful. This is often the very nature of investment, and you cannot always be sure. If you’re keen to continue ahead, then you will need to decide where you’re going to invest, and thoroughly research which areas are the safest. These areas include mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds, real estate and land, to name just a few. You can no longer just go by what your gut tells you when there are large sums of money at stake, so it’s imperative that you learn as much as you can on financial theories, active terminology, the risks, and good starting points.

Datera, Inc. announced the immediate availability of its Datera 3.2 Platform, enabling customers to intelligently automate their data operations and capitalize on the transition to server-based architectures to solve their data challenges. With this latest release, Datera further extends its market leadership in data automation and orchestration for tier one applications with heightened integration into container-based applications, new levels of performance through collaboration with flash and persistent memory technology leaders Intel and Samsung, and expanded global reach with active-active stretch clusters that transcend legacy data silos. As part of this release, Datera also expands the list of deployment configurations and certifications with the industry’s top three server providers (HPE, Dell and Cisco), making it easier for customers to attain the benefits of Datera with their hardware vendor of choice.

"The design of Datera’s Data Services Platform simplifies and automates IT storage architectures for tier one applications by creating a single, enterprise-ready design that spans workloads, locations and uses cases," said George Crump, Lead Analyst at Storage Switzerland. "With its expanded support for container-based workloads and expanded server-based deployment options in 3.2, Datera makes a strong case to organizations looking to cure the headaches associated with legacy data architectures."

Most enterprises have separate campus and data center networks, leveraging entirely different architectures to provide connectivity across the two domains. This leads to divergent operations, which inhibits enterprises’ attempts to unify their infrastructure under a common operational umbrella. With Juniper’s new EVPN-VXLAN campus architecture, enterprises can build campus networks using the same protocols that are popular in the most stable and efficient data centers that exist today.

Citrix enables secure End User Computing services across multiple platforms and devices, enabling users to do more, using more devices from more locations. However, these End User Computing services encompass and support many different technologies that vary significantly from one organization to another. 

Users getting access to their desktops and applications is the first step, which is why monitoring the logon performance has become critical for Citrix-based IT services. That’s why eG Innovations recently announced a Free Logon Simulator for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop. But that’s only a first impression. To make a lasting impact on user experience, the applications and desktops being delivered on top of the Citrix service must also perform, and these digital business services will be comprised of many different components from any number of suppliers.
