Getting A Foot In The Door In Europe

Had another interesting cloudy discussion last week with SIOS – one of ITs better kept secrets, certainly in the UK. Much of that is down to the sensitivity of what it does and who it does it for. ...
Had my first visit to The Gherkin recently at a “mini” Netevents security briefing in London. I can certainly recommend the brioche-bun bacon butties with a view of the London rain from the 38th ...
Had some very interesting conversations in the past few weeks with a number of US-based vendors across primarily the security and optimisation sectors, with one commonality - established in the ...

Are You Fully Automated?
- Broadband Testing 10 Jan 2019
I recently completed a report for a long-time client, Kemp Technologies, in the area formerly known as L-B/ADC - i.e. Load-Balancing/Application Delivery Control. It really hit home, during the ...
It's hard to recall a recent presentation from a vendor that didn't include the AI or Machine-Learning buzz-phrases. I'm not just talking IT here - coffee vending machines probably also incorporate ...
I remember when first testing Gigabit Ethernet (Packet Engines and Foundry Networks for the record) and thinking: "how do we harness this much bandwidth - maybe take a TDM approach and slice it? ...
So – another year and another Netevents; lots of old faces (not least mine!) and a few new ones. And it’s kind of the same with topics – understandably – as there’s only so much you can talk about ...
OK - so that's probably not the perfect headline to be announced by anyone who whistles through their teeth... Been having some interesting conversations recently around the idea of zero trust ...
Anyone out there right now could be more than excused for thinking we're drowning in security start-ups; too many "me too" vendors trying to resolve the same perceived problems - niche or broad. ...
One common theme with recent product tests and vendor briefings and that is - automation. Not that there's anything new here per se; back in the mid-90s I remember working on an extensive project ...

No Cloud Over VDI!

Two and a bit years ago – I should remember, it was on my birthday! – I was presenting a panel debate on the latest Cybersecurity deterrents. With four vendors and two consultants on the panel, it ...
Ah – tomorrow – the dreaded Black Friday, yet another unwanted import from Trumpland. But, JASK – already previously subjected here to the blogging treatment – has some security advice to offer as ...
I remember long ago, in an unlikely setting for a bleeding-edge test-labs – an old winery surrounded by vines where the only “blood” came from crushed grapes – yes, my old French test labs, where ...
So, in recent blogs I've talked about all things migration-wise; Windows migration issues and the testing thereof, migrating to the cloud, even migrating the cloud back to OnPrem, from OnPrem to ...
Unsurprisingly, whatever the IT genre and whatever the weather, cloud is always on the horizon right now. One of several top meetings I had last week within IP Expo's confines was with Morteza ...
