eBook: Rescue Resolve Evolve

Millions of workers are walking around with their office, computer, filing cabinet, phone, email, working documents, and more right in the palm of their hands.

Many no longer even have a physical office to go to. They’re on the road, work remotely, and connect virtually with employers, clients, and partners who may be in a different city or country altogether.

What enabled this new work reality? Technology. For ever-growing numbers of people, whether they’re IT professionals, marketers, operations folks, salespeople, or others, tech is elemental.

And when a tech problem crops up, work comes to a stop. It’s a point of friction every worker, IT department, and enterprise has experienced—and one that nobody needs. So how does IT resolve issues quickly while evolving the business’s capacity to succeed?

This insightful guide walks you through the five foundational elements of frictionless support.

Hadoop Data Migration Benchmark Report

The cloud is a natural home for big data. In the cloud, companies can take advantage of cheap, scalable storage and compute platforms leveraging an OPEX model. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are able to spin massive compute clusters up or down automatically, helping organizations optimize costs and reduce the need for people with deep expertise in managing such deployments. CSPs have also enhanced their big data solutions providing greater functionality over native Hadoop offerings, and greatly simplifying the complexities for organizations having to manage their own Hadoop implementations.

This eBook explores some of the business risks associated with big data to cloud migrations. It highlights third-party research as well as results of a survey conducted with 80 cloud and data architects, and other technical specialists to provide insights on their data migration plans and strategies, and compares the costs and risks associated with manual vs automated big data migrations.

Migrate your data lake to the public cloud with zero-disruption

Data lakes are becoming ever more tightly integrated into essential operational services. For born-in-the cloud enterprises, dialing up capacity to expand analytics services is relatively straightforward. However, for businesses operating on-premises data lakes, expansion can be costly and slow—which puts them at a significant competitive disadvantage.

For these enterprises, migrating on-premises data lakes to the public cloud promises a cost-effective way to gain leading-edge analytics capabilities and practically unlimited scalability. However, the perceived need for an extended period of downtime during the cloud migration can make these projects seem too costly, painful and risky.

In this eBook, WANdisco explains why continuous data replication is the key to achieving a low-risk, seamless data lake migration. With the WANdisco Fusion platform enforcing strong consistency between data on premises and in the cloud, businesses can run both environments in parallel for as long as they need to—and switch seamlessly to the cloud as soon as they are ready. The result is a simple, automated Hadoop migration with no disruption to the business.

White Paper: Frictionless Security – Protect your Entire IT Ecosystem from End User to Admins

In the modern workforce, we can work from home – or from any location that has internet access – more easily than ever. We often interact and comment on social media as individuals as part of our professional lives. Where we log in from, how we access resources and the devices we use are interchangeable and blur the line between these two formerly distinct parts of life.

As an individual, it’s professionally liberating but for IT managers and CISOs, this extended environment includes far too many access points that bad actors can use to get to the precious corporate resources. This situation mandates a comprehensive change in our approach security. The balance that IT managers and CISOs work to achieve is to give their users safe access without heavy-handed security measures impeding productivity. They must consider many factors and weigh options as to how they can safely support the business in reaching its objectives. The aim is to secure the enterprise without users noticing. In a word, to make security frictionless to the user.

The top five ways to relieve the pain of managing hybrid AD environments

Active Directory is everywhere and Azure Active Directory (AAD), its cloud-based cousin, is quickly gaining ground. Currently, nearly ninety percent of organizations worldwide are using Active Directory (AD) for on-premises resources (aka on-prem). That represents 500 million organizations and somewhere around 10 billion daily authentications. In fact, in the world of identity and access management (IAM), AD has become unavoidable and absolutely necessary for on-prem user authentication and authorization. You have to go through AD. It’s just how it’s done. Now, mix in the cloud – and Azure AD– and your management complexity just skyrocketed – and you could be in for a world of pain, if your on-prem or cloud identity environments are not managed and synched properly.

The Hidden Costs of Cloud Storage

Moving to the cloud is becoming a necessity. Organizations need to increase support for remote workers and move business- critical applications to the cloud, all while cutting costs. In many cases, cloud storage is a major roadblock for moving applications to the cloud. Applications need more storage every year and they require terabytes of data. You are at the mercy of your cloud provider. Also, applications often need performance from storage, in which cloud storage vendors will again require you to purchase more storage to gain performance.
