Protecting mobile certificates

The ubiquity of mobile in the enterprise means that IT must rise to the challenge to meet new and changing security demands. As a result, the need for mobile certificates has increased to ensure mobile devices and applications are secure, authenticated, encrypted, and enterprise-ready.

This profile of IT security decision-makers evaluates the level of knowledge and understanding of key and certificate technologies for mobile in enterprises in the US, UK, and Australia, based on Forrester’s own market data and a custom study of the same audience.

Enhancing database environments with NetApp storage

Organizations of all kinds rely on their relational databases for both transaction processing (OLTP) and analytics (OLAP), but many still have challenges in meeting their goals of high availability, security, and performance. Whether planning for a major upgrade of existing databases or considering a net new project, enterprise solution architects should realize that the storage capabilities will matter. NetApp’s systems, software, and services offer a number of advantages as a foundation for better operational results.

5 steps for Windows Server 2003 End of Life success

On July 14, 2015 Microsoft will end support for Windows Sever 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2. Like Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 continues to be used and relied upon by organizations worldwide with as many 10 million Windows Server 2003 systems still in production.

Once Windows Server 2003 has reached end-of-life, Microsoft will no longer deliver or develop security updates and critical patches.

Are you prepared? If you answered anything but a resounding YES, this eGuide will provide you with 5 tips critical to a successful and affordable Windows Server 2003 EOL transition.

Data center projects: system planning

Planning of a data center physical infrastructure project need not be a time consuming or frustrating task. Experience shows that if the right issues are resolved in the right order by the right people, vague requirements can be quickly translated into a detailed design.

This paper outlines practical steps to be followed that can cut costs by simplifying and shortening the planning process while improving the quality of the plan.

Network DDoS protection

Today, service providers such as cloud providers, Web hosting services, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as well as large enterprises, require an environment that is highly available and secure, as the Internet is the main, if not the only way to channel an organization’s services to its customers. Over the last few years, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have grown dramatically in frequency, size and complexity. While organizations have existing security strategies in place that mitigate a range of existing security threats, they are clearly not prepared to address this new breed of DDoS attacks, which leverage large distributed “botnet” networks of compromised “zombie” machines to simultaneously launch attacks using compliant protocols that are very difficult to detect and even harder to mitigate. It is clear that additional solutions are needed to complement existing security infrastructure in a layered defense model.

Optimising the datacentre network

The four pillars of computing — cloud, mobility, social, and analytics — are driving new levels of network innovation in datacentre networks. These forces are now buffeting the datacentre along with virtualisation and the Internet of Things (IoT), resulting in sweeping changes in traffic patterns that expose the limitations of traditional networks and their operational models. To become a resource rather than a bottleneck to overall datacentre performance, the network must deliver not just exceptional performance and scalability but also unprecedented automation and orchestration that can yield agility, flexibility, and service velocity. This Technology Spotlight examines these key trends and discusses the role that Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) plays in addressing these ongoing challenges for enterprise IT and network managers.
