Why Aren't More SMEs Using Multi-Factor Authentication?

Cyberattacks against companies large and small are on the rise as hackers engineer new ways to access and steal data. From ransomware to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), two facts are particularly concerning: • Leveraged credentials, most often passwords, cause sixty-one percent of data breaches. • Nearly half of all cyber-attacks target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are less equipped to recover from damages. Because SMEs inherently lack the cybersecurity resources of large

4 Common Myths About DRaaS Debunked

While 77 percent of CIOs say they want to r educe the overall costs of Disaster Recovery (DR) by looking to DRaaS, some still wonder about the effectiveness and viability of DRaaS for their unique organizations. Inundated by a deluge of arguments both for and against discrete DR solutions, decision makers can be left scratching their collective heads about the right path forward. Read on as we help separate fact from fiction when it comes to DRaaS, so you can move forward on a business continui

Balancing Data Resiliency with Data Recovery

Downtime caused by man-made and natural IT disasters costs an organization an estimated $300,000 per hour , and that doesn’t include losses of productivity, reputation and market share. Further, a recent University of Texas study revealed that 94% of companies that lose their systems for 10 days or more due to a disaster don’t survive: 43% are forced to close immediately, and 51% go out of business within two years. As businesses become more digital – and the data sphere becomes more vulnerabl

Network-Enabled Colocation - Connectivity that Goes Beyond Low Latency

Rapid innovations in AI and IoT and unprecedented amounts of data transmitted over billions of connected devices are driving the demand for colocation data centers that can deliver next-level connectivity – high-speed, low-latency connectivity from the edge to the core, and from the edge to hyperscalers. And while the team here at Flexential encourage our customers to make architectural changes to their applications to fully leverage edge computing, those changes alone will not meet new connect

5G + The Edge Power Real-World Solutions: 4 Use Cases

While the standards body completed the rules for standalone 5G in June 2018, few handsets supporting 5G protocols are available yet. Meanwhile, fiber and telecom providers are rolling out site-to-site capabilities within metro regions to test 5G technology and replace land-based copper and fiber connections. They’re also expanding service locations with new towers and microcells to support ubiquitous coverage and increased data speeds. But 5G is about more than speeds and feeds: 5G’s immense fo

Spotlight on Intel® Partner Connect 2019: How Edge and AI Ecosystem Advancements Enable Real-Time, Data-Driven Decisions

But it’s no longer just about home monitors, autonomous cars and video cameras. While the Internet of Things (IoT) drives the connected world, it’s artificial intelligence (AI) that’s making all that data actionable and intelligible. And it’s AI that contributed a whopping $2 trillion to global GDP last year, making it a worthy focal point for the 2019 Intel® Partner Connect conference in Denver. New innovations for supporting AI and IoT took center stage at the Intel-sponsored event, along wit

2019 Considerations for IT: Cloud Architectures, DR and Edge Computing

One of our favorite things to do late in the year is to reflect on what occurred over the past 12 months and try to predict what the game changers will be for the following year. Sometimes it’s hard to get it right—e.g., Ethernet inventor Bob Metcalfe wrongly predicted in the nineties that the internet would collapse by 1996. And founder of Digital Equipment Corp. Ken Olson stated confidently in 1977 that there was “no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” Undeterred by these cau

4 Business Considerations for Creating an Edge Strategy

The well-storied “data deluge” is driving enterprises of all sizes and industries to move critical applications and workloads to the “edge” of their network infrastructure where data can be acted on immediately. Driven by the proliferation of 5G, IoT and AI, as well as a flood of new devices enabling all that connectivity, industry experts expect the global edge market to grow from $1.17 billion in 2016 to USD $6.73 billion by 2022. Edge computing enables efficient data processing near the sou

The NAP of the Northwest

Emerging technologies in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things) are driving global data traffic toward an estimated, mind-boggling 4.8 zettabytes (ZB) per year by 2022. And Asia appears to be driving the market. With an estimated 26% of companies in Asia working on IoT-based projects, compared to 23% in North America, U.S. access to burgeoning Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets has never been more critical for American companies, many of whom are flocking to the Pacific Northwest (PN
