Hybrid CloudSecurity 101

No matter where you are in your hybrid cloud journey, security is a big concern. Hybrid cloud security vulnerabilities typically take the form of loss of resource oversight and control, including unsanctioned public cloud use, lack of visibility into resources, inadequate change control, poor configuration management, and ineffective access controls. This e-book discusses new approaches and considerations for protecting your business in the hybrid cloud.

Technology is complex. Desktops-as-a-Service is not.

Technology is Complex. Desktops-as-a-Service is not.

Location Matters: Considerations for Moving to the Cloud.

Today, it’s no longer a question of moving IT to the cloud — it’s about choosing the best way to do it for your particular business requirements.

Before any cloud migration takes place, you’ll need to make some big decisions about which models make the most sense for your business.

The deployment model describes how you will use the chosen infrastructure, regardless of whether it is located on- or off-premises and who owns the actual equipment.
On the other hand, a service model describes the degree of management and control you want over what you run on the cloud infrastructure.

This eBook explores these considerations and more that could affect your decision. Download this eBook with Quest to learn how to choose the right deployment model for your business.

The DBA’s High Availability and Disaster Recovery Survival Guide

DevOps Cookbook for ERP Teams

ERP teams face a different environment than other application teams face because they work with the organization’s financial system of record. Progress toward DevOps can introduce risk of noncompliance for which most people — auditors, change control advisors, compliance managers, even life-long ERP developers — have little appetite.

This eBook explores the potential role of DevOps on ERP teams. It offers a framework for guiding ERP teams toward a DevOps culture, with workflows that can speed up deployment while still mitigating risk. ERP teams will see that, in some ways, they may already be doing DevOps and not know it. They can enjoy the advantages of DevOps without incurring the risk of noncompliance.

Moving Your Databases to the Cloud

Are you thinking about moving your databases to the cloud or making the transition to data- base as a service (DBaaS)?

With cloud computing vendors offering more services at lower prices, the barriers to spin- ning up cloud resources are diminishing. But there are few black-and-white questions in technology and even fewer in business, which is why smart companies look at all the shades of gray in an innovation like the cloud-based database before they commit on a large scale.

In this ebook, we’ll examine the what, why, when, where and how of database cloud computing. This overview of the current cloud landscape includes answers to the most commonly asked questions and a number of important but frequently overlooked points. Database administrators (DBAs) and managers will gain a better view of the path to the cloud, whether they are preparing to migrate two dozen web pages or two dozen years of trans- action history.

Networking Guru’s Guide to Verification

Today, networks have become so large and complex, along with constant changes to accommodate new services and business requirements, that networking teams can no longer document or manage all the details end-to-end. With potentially tens of thousands of devices and billions of lines of code, until now there has been no way to automate the analysis of network designs to quickly verify what devices you have, how they’re connected, where traffic goes, whether it’s really working, or what needs to change. Network verification is a rapidly emerging technology that provides deep insight to network behavior end-to-end, as well as automating many network troubleshooting and remediation tasks. Organizations are leveraging verification to help avoid outages, facilitate compliance processes and accelerate change windows.
