Why You Should Look at the IBM Cloud for Archival Solutions

Organizations of all sizes continue to experience operational, economic, management, and technical struggles in how they are delivering IT services, often motivating them to embark on digital transformation journeys. For many organizations taking such journeys, the cloud is a big part of the answer. Cloud-based storage can provide a compelling alternative to on-premises archival-class storage and enable levels of agility not previously achievable.

Webinar – Rock Your SOC (Security Operations Center) with Watson for Cyber Security

In today’s threat environment, given the sophistication and increase in cyber-attacks, security analysts must investigate and accurately identify threats on a daily basis to detect and stop threats in time before damage is caused. During an investigation, analysts need to pivot on multiple data sources such as threat feeds, security blogs, research articles, talking to peers and more. It can quickly become overwhelming when an analyst needs to investigate each incident in 20 minutes or less just to keep up with current alerts. Inaccuracies can creep in while they are simultaneously navigating and correlating information from multiple sources.

With the cognitive power of Watson for Cyber Security, analysts can now use QRadar Advisor with Watson to investigate incidents compiled by the QRadar security analytics platform and provide key insights to qualify and identify root cause of the incident.

Watch this webinar to see how a Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOC analyst uses QRadar Advisor with Watson to accurately identify and understand threats at speed and scale. See the complete lifecycle of an investigation in the SOC from when an offense is compiled by QRadarsecurity analytics platform to how you can use the results from the investigation from Watson to shutdown threats.

Breaking the Silos: Why integrated monitoring tools are key to driving high performance in modern app environments

New technologies and practices such as containers and DevOps methodologies have transformed today's enterprise application environments. With these advancements in hand, organizations can become more agile, able to respond quicker than ever to customer needs and competitive demands. And yet, this modern application development environment often leads to new pain points for the teams responsible for ensuring application performance. These pain points include alert fatigue, data overload and intelligence gaps due to the lack of data correlation. How can these modern teams move fast and still develop top-performing apps?

In this paper, we answer that question by examining the tool capabilities required to monitor in modern environments, including advanced analytics, extensive integrations, and both agent and agentless technologies. In addition, we look at emerging organizational models that support the performance goals of agile teams.

Ovum Report: The Total Cost of Ownership of Cloud and Premise-Based Contact Center Platforms

A Look at the Five-Year Cost Comparisons for Technology Infrastructure Deployment

Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a major consideration for organizations evaluating the pros and cons of cloud-based contact center infrastructure deployment versus an on-premise solution. According to this report, for a 50-seat contact center the average cloud platform costs approximately $150,000 less in year 1 and up to $300,000 by year 5.

This Ovum report also discusses:

  • Which deployment model is right for small, midsize, and large contact centers, based on low, medium or high technology footprint requirements
  • How cloud-based systems are much quicker to deploy and can scale up or down in response to changing business conditions
  • How cloud drives a quicker innovation cycle
