Data Security for the Way People Work

Now more than ever, IT technologists need to take control of PC infrastructure costs while deploying secure and manageable client solutions for their end users. With all the options available, how can IT pros position the right PC lifecycle solutions with management to make IT deployment, maintenance and continuous modernization simple?

Data security is at the top of the priority list for most organizations, as well it should be. Threats have never been more numerous, more varied or more dangerous. Phishing attacks, malware, ransomware, BIOS attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs) are multiplying relentlessly (see sidebar). The dangers of data loss, extortion and identity theft are real. The global average cost of a data breach is $3.62 million USD, according to Ponemon Institute.

Application Modernization with Cloud Flexibility

Enterprise developers face many choices when writing software. What’s the right architecture for the long run? What are the technologies I should bet on?

One of the more challenging decisions: how to balance the flexibility to deploy their software on any public cloud with the benefits of using differentiating cloud services. You may gain significant functional benefits from such a service, but this may make moving from one cloud provider to another more difficult, limiting flexibility.

In this paper, we’ll discuss pragmatic strategies you can take to achieve something approximating the ideal of service liquidity. Pivotal and Microsoft have worked with several enterprises and partners to provide an evaluation and implementation framework. The end result? Developers can utilize the power of a given cloud platform, while ensuring cloud flexibility for their application modernization projects. Read on to learn more about this framework.
