VPNs may not offer enough protection.
The fast growth of the internet of things (IoT) is creating a need to train cross-functional experts who can combine traditional networking and infrastructure expertise with database and reporting skills.
With interest growing in hyperconverged infrastructure, large tech incumbents have been buying startups with HCI expertise, but there remains a lot more startups carving out niches. Here are 10 of them.
After discussing with numerous SDP vendors, I have discovered that the current SDP landscape tends to be based on specific use cases and projects, as opposed to a technology that has to be implemented globally.
Considering the way networks work today and the change in traffic patterns; both internal and to the cloud, this limits the effect of the fixed perimeter.
The benefits of IPv6 over IPv4 are many, but to reap them enterprises need to enable their networks to support the newer protocol, starting with Wi-Fi upgrades.
Application delivery controllers (ADCs) are on the precipice of shifting from traditional hardware appliances to software form factors.
Jeff Lipton, vice president of strategy and corporate development at Aruba, adds a dose of reality to the 5G hype, discussing how it and Wi-Fi will work together and how to maximize the value of both.
Amazon, Tesla-associated SpaceX and OneWeb are emerging as just some of the potential suppliers of a new kind of data-friendly satellite internet service that could bring broadband IoT connectivity to most places on Earth.
A recent survey of over 400 IT executives by Cato Networks found that legacy telcos might be on the outside looking in for SD-WANs.
Cloud uptime is critical today, but vendor-provided data can be confusing. Here's an analysis of how AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure compare.
With the Internet of Things growing unchecked, entrepreneurs are working to build security systems that can protect IoT infrastructure and the data it gathers. Here’s a look at 10 of them.
A new form of data compression, called Zippads, will create faster computer programs that could drastically lower the costs of computing.
To make the most of edge computing investments, it’s important to first understand objectives and expectations.
IoT devices are generally designed to handle specific tasks. Robots need to react to unexpected conditions that their developer may not have anticipated. AI and machine learning help robots deal with such situations.
Knowingly or not, enterprises employ IPv6 for many of their internet connections, and that means CASBs should support the protocol, too, in order to enforce policies on all customer traffic. Here's how major CASBs stack up.
A look back at 'Me at the Zoo,' the first ever uploaded YouTube video.
Nearly every industry can take advantage of edge computing in the journey to speed digital transformation efforts
In the ramp-up to a smart cities utopia, many societal concerns are often left overlooked when in truth, trust and privacy need to define the future role of cybersecurity.
The benefits of edge computing are not just hype; however, that doesn’t mean you should throw cloud computing initiatives to the wind.
Vendors of hyperconverged infrastructure provide options for making it easier to backup data on-site, in the cloud or both, but which is best?
According to research firm MarketsandMarkets™, from 2017 through to 2022, edge computing will experience a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 35.4% (from $1.47 Billion US to $6.72 Billion US). Those in the business of distributing, configuring and
The risks presented by edge computing environments necessitates that companies pay special attention to security measures.
With 5G almost upon us, everyone seems focused on the devices. But that's not where most of the work remains to be done. The greater challenges are with the networks.
Unikernels are a smaller, faster, and more secure option for deploying applications on cloud infrastructure. With NanoVMs OPS, anyone can run a Linux application as a unikernel with no additional coding.
The inefficiency factor in the case of traditional routing is one of the main reasons why SD-WAN is really taking off.
Organizations in virtually every vertical industry are undergoing a digital transformation in an attempt to take advantage of edge computing technology
Edge computing requires different thinking and management to ensure the always-on availability that users have come to demand.
Multi-channel is the norm for Wi-Fi today, but it’s not always the best choice. Single-channel and hybrid APs offer compelling alternatives when reliable Wi-Fi is a must.
