Critical Considerations for Securing Hybrid and Hyperscale Data Centers
Modern hybrid and hyperscale data center architectures must include security that can keep pace. But in many of these data center environments today, traditional network security solutions—especially outmoded traditional firewalls— underperform and underserve, pushing IT teams into dangerous trade-offs between security and performance.
Following are six critical considerations for all enterprise IT teams as they design security for modern data center infrastructure.

Which Next-generation Endpoint Security Enhancements Are Required
Endpoints continue to be one of the favorite targets for cyberattacks. A successfully compromised laptop, smartphone, or Internet-of-Things (IoT) device can provide a foothold for threats to move laterally, infect other endpoints within the organization, and moreover enable attackers to gain access to other critical assets. In addition to weakened security, intrusions also divert staff time away from activities that enhance network performance and streamline operations.
To address these challenges, IT infrastructure leaders need integrated n ...
Understanding the Obstacles to WAN Transformation — Security, Performance, and TCO
Network engineering and operations leaders are looking to software-defined wide- area networks (SD-WAN) to support the influx of traffic and applications driven by digital transformation (DX). These applications improve staff productivity while creating new business opportunities, but they also reshape corporate networking and security needs.
In response, many organizations are beginning to rethink their traditional WAN architecture. SD WAN has emerged as a replacement, but many SD-WAN implementations also present serious challenges—from ina ...

Visualisation in the virtual reality age: A focus on manufacturing and engineering
While 3D design tools have been around for a while, the consumerisation of VR is opening-up visualisation options at an unprecedented rate. Visualisation has evolved to a level that allows designers to produce photorealistic images of products in natural environments faster and with more accuracy, enabling even faster time-to-market and allowing customers to experience the product for themselves – and all without real-world prototyping and modelling costs.
This guide is designed to give you an overview of the latest developments in visualisa ...
The Road to Recovery – Growing Your Business in China
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a major slowdown in the global economy. However, China is recovering faster than many countries and is predicted to register growth in 2020 while other major economies continue to battle the virus and are sliding into recession. The key to China's recovery is its use of technology to overcome social distancing requirements, which have forced many social and economic activities to go online.
The lesson from the China story is that despite the gloom and doom brought about by COVID-19, many new business pros ...
