"Just throw more bandwidth at it" - Yeah right... Some people never learn!
- Broadband Testing 10 Feb 2025
Thoroughly enjoyed a recent conversation with Albert Estevez Polo, Field CTO EMEA, Zero Networks, where we discussed what IS really required for cyber security in 2026 onwards, on the back of some ...
Yes, it’s that time of year again. No, not the “C” word, though there are only 119 shopping days to Christmas as I type. And yes, it is almost football transfer deadline day but... No – I’m talking ...
One thing we can’t get away from right now – even if we wanted to – is AI. While there are specialist AI tech vendors, the reality is that it impacts on all aspects of IT, not least two of my key ...
It seems like every other – and that’s being conservative – conversation I have in my day job, every other post on the likes of LinkedIn and even on the BBC website is talking about how AI is ...

In recent blogs – and in many recent conversations with folks from various echelons and shades of IT – I’ve talked about the need for some bravery among the SI and MSP communities to run with some ...

It’s been a good week for "reinventing networking" conversations. And not before time – I mean, look at all the changes we’ve seen in IT in the past decade, from data types and scale thereof, ...
I’ve talked a lot about SASE in this ‘ere blog, including the SASE Network Scorecard I developed earlier in the year. For those who didn’t see that, here’s an example of one vendor completing it: ...
