While many companies are modernizing their IT infrastructure by moving to the cloud, their on-premises IT environments tend to be complex, 3-tier infrastructures which create silos that interfere with visibility and overcomplicate management. 

Security and compliance have become inextricably intertwined in this time of tightening regulations and intensifying threats. The increasingly demanding threat and regulatory landscapes require a holistic approach that promotes business resilience.

Burdened by the inescapable mandate to remain competitive, companies are investigating methods to advance in their digital transformation journey. While many organizations are working to modernize their IT infrastructure by embracing cloud models and services, adopting software-defined solutions helps companies evolve their on-premises technology environment by giving it cloud-like capabilities through software.

Now is the time to start looking into which technology conferences you want to attend this year. Spring and summer are the prime conference seasons, with some events already announced for the fall and next winter. The Microsoft Azure AI conference just took place in early December in Orlando, Florida.

Please tell us if you plan to attend any of these conferences so we can stay connected during the event.

The threat landscape is continuously evolving, meaning companies need to keep rethinking and strengthening their approach to security. Today’s advanced threats use sophisticated methods to evade detection called “known unknown” threats and zero-day exploits called “unknown unknown” threats.  

Your company’s network acts as its circulatory system, allowing vital data to move from the data center to the cloud and endpoints and back. If your network is in poor health, you can’t transmit mission-critical information quickly, reliably, and securely. 

The hybrid cloud is one of the most popular cloud models because of its flexibility and cost effectiveness. Forbesreported that hybrid cloud implementations are rising because they lead to operational efficiency, faster application development, and deeper business insights. 

Boston, Red Hat, and WOW, What a Strategy!

We started our modernization focus about five years ago and knew selecting market leaders as our partners would be critical to our growth and success. If you look at Gartner, Forrester, or any other industry analyst, it is a no-brainer that Red Hat needs to be on your line card to help clients with their multi-cloud, orchestration, and automation journey. Our relationship has blossomed during this time, and we were recently honored with an invitation to join an exclusive round table with Red Hat executives.

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).
