Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced the launch of Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7, a comprehensive, cloud-native platform for developing business automation services and process-centric applications across hybrid cloud environments. Process Automation Manager is the next generation of Red Hat’s business process management (BPM) offering, Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite, and enables organizations to streamline, automate, measure and continuously improve business operations.

Digital transformation can place new demands on both business and IT to deliver greater efficiency and agility throughout the application lifecycle. Process Automation Manager is designed to foster closer collaboration between the two groups by enabling business users to directly participate in creating new business applications using business-friendly concepts, while retaining the governance and oversight required by IT for application scalability and security.

Process Automation Manager provides both business and IT users with a low-code solution that can reduce the time required to build applications that automate business processes, enforce business policies and make business decisions.

Security service providers, alarm central stations and their dealers seeking a competitive advantage can now offer an end-to-end managed service that includes remote monitoring via the newly launched AXIS Guardian solution.

Axis Communications, the market leader in network video, designed the platform to integrate with a provider’s existing alarm monitoring software-the video data is processed on the edge by Axis and then stored in the cloud or locally. By using AXIS Guardian’s centralized device management, providers can maintain and manage their clients’ systems remotely while delivering stable and reliable monitoring to their end customers, without the overhead of maintenance or installation.

Syncsort, the global leader in Big Iron to Big Data software, today announced major enhancements to its Athene capacity management software, including the addition of Athene Cloud. The new cloud capabilities, and enhanced reporting and integration, support the growing need to optimize workloads to meet service performance objectives and control costs, both on-premise and in the cloud.

The new release, part of the Syncsort Optimize family of products, extends the ability to manage enterprise-wide workloads to the cloud. For organizations without internal capacity management teams, Syncsort now delivers Capacity Management-as-a-Service for on-premise and cloud environments. The new cloud capabilities enable organizations to easily scope on-premise to cloud migrations and workload optimization for hybrid cloud environments.

Twistlock, the leading provider of container and cloud native cybersecurity solutions, today announced the addition of serverless runtime defense to the Twistlock platform.  With this new functionality, companies can extend Twistlock’s automated, whitelist based threat protection to serverless functions running in AWS Lambda and other leading serverless platforms.

This new capability builds upon Twistlock’s release of vulnerability scanning for serverless functions in July 2017, and brings Twistlock’s serverless capabilities to parity with the full lifecycle, full stack protection the platform currently offers for containers and virtual machines. Customers can now centralize their serverless, container, and VM security in a single platform that provides developers, devops, and security teams alike the visibility and controls needed to deliver cloud native applications securely.

Last spring, BlueData introduced support for hybrid cloud environments – leveraging the inherent infrastructure portability and flexibility of Docker containers. This past fall, BlueData delivered a major new release that added deep learning (DL), GPU acceleration, and multi-cloud support to the container-based BlueData EPIC platform. And last month, BlueData announced a new turnkey solution to accelerate AI and ML / DL deployments in the enterprise.

CTERA Networks, the global leader in secure enterprise file services, today announced the expansion of its appliance product line with faster, larger, and more versatile edge filers designed to meet the needs of the modern remote and branch office (ROBO) IT environment. The new CTERA HC Series Edge Filers support 96TB of raw local storage, 10GbE interfaces, all-flash options, as well as the ability to spin multiple virtual machines on the same device.

With more than 45,000 gateways deployed, CTERA is the world leader in secure edge to cloud file services, enabling distributed enterprises to replace legacy file servers and NAS systems with modern cloud-enabled filers. CTERA allows for a smooth and secure transition to the cloud, migrating existing file shares to a global file system over a WAN-accelerated protocol while preserving full control over data residency. 
Highlights of the CTERA HC series offering include:

Today, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced HPE GreenLake Hybrid Cloud, a new consumption experience designed to help customers manage and optimize their on- and off-premises clouds. HPE GreenLake Hybrid Cloud is an automated cloud operating model, leveraging HPE’s leading intellectual property and standardized with HPE best practices to help customers consume the exact cloud resources they need, wherever their workloads live – while driving improved performance, cost, security and compliance. By eliminating the need for staff to manage the hybrid environment day-to-day, the new solution helps diminish human error and enables staff to focus on innovation.

Hybrid IT is the reality for most enterprises as it allows them to blend a mix of applications, services and platforms, all tailored to their needs.  However, many enterprises struggle with the complexity of operating different private, public and hybrid clouds and having the right skills to oversee and manage their cloud implementation, which can lead to unknown, unrestrained cost and risk. According to Gartner by 2020, organizations that lack cost optimization processes will average 40% overspend in public cloud. In addition, many customers lack automation and simple tools to unleash the agility of the cloud, and continuous monitoring of controls and compliance frameworks to manage risk. 

SUSE is focused on delivering an exceptional operator experience with SUSE CaaS Platform. With deep competencies in infrastructure, systems, process integration, platform security, lifecycle management and enterprise-grade support, SUSE ensures IT operations teams can deliver the power of Kubernetes to their users quickly, securely and efficiently.

Cloud-based IT systems perform important functions in almost all modern sectors. Businesses, non-profit organisations, governments and even educational institutions use The Cloud to expand the reach of the market, analyse performance, manage human resources and offer better services. Of course, effective Cloud security governance is essential for any entity wishing to reap the benefits of distributed IT.

Like all IT domains, Cloud technology faces unique security problems. Although the idea of ​​maintaining data security in The Cloud has long been considered an unmanageable paradox, extensive industry operations reveal numerous techniques that offer effective protection. Because Cloud service providers maintain FedRAMP compliance, effective Cloud protection is feasible and practical in the real world.
