For companies that are looking to progress along their digital transformation journey, adopting software-defined infrastructure is a great option. Implementing software-defined storage (SDS) can be the jumping-off point for moving toward a software-defined data center (SDDC).

ProActive Solutions is excited to announce that we are presenting at IBM TechXchange Conference 2023 in Las Vegas on Tuesday, September 12, 2023. Kevin Nickerson, Client Technical Specialist at ProActive, will be presenting “Fortifying Storage Systems: A Deep Dive into IBM Storage Virtualize & FlashSystem Cybersecurity Features” as part of a Product Tips & Tricks Session.

Hard to believe summer is coming to an end and school is starting. ProActive Solutions has been busy helping clients deploy new technology while educating many eager learners on hot topics such as Automation, Email Security, and Private Cloud. We celebrated the winners of our concert drawings and sang with joy at the Taylor Swift show. We look forward to rocking out with Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks and dancing the night away with Beyonce. If you missed our workshops, here is a quick recap of what information was shared.

While IBM Power10 is recognized for its ability to meet the challenges of hybrid cloud computing, as well as its energy efficiency and processing power, companies may not be aware of the platform’s security capabilities. 

Cisco Live 2023 is a wrap, so we want to share some of the event highlights. This year, Cisco Live took place early in June at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The event provided on-demand education, community-building activities, and inspiration to global technology innovators, Cisco customers, and partners.

Companies face many challenges when trying to keep up with the rapidly evolving threat landscape. Cyberattacks are becoming more severe and sophisticated, making them difficult to detect, prevent, and remediate.

ProActive Solutions had a fun and insightful week attending this year’s Netsmart Connections conference. We were proud to partner with our friends at Infinidat to serve as a Gold sponsor as a way to show our true investment in our clients.

What a whirlwind May was as we attended several conferences, wrapping up with Red Hat Summit. Red Hat integrated AnsibleFest into Summit this year, providing a diverse amount of sessions, including technical, strategic, and a number of customer use case sessions, which were a personal favorite.

As companies undergo digital transformation and create hybrid workplaces, they generate more risk by extending beyond the traditional network. Adopting new technologies expands the attack surface, giving cyber criminals more opportunities to stage a breach.

When companies think of cybersecurity challenges, they may envision a risk landscape peopled with bad actors who use ransomware and other malware to stage attacks. However, many security challenges come from the way IT environments evolve. As IT infrastructure expands and diversifies, it creates weak spots that can be exploited by cybercriminals.
