IDC’s research shows enterprises around the world are using multicloud strategies
to optimize the performance of modern and existing legacy applications running
on-premises, in public cloud services, and on legacy systems. In the early days of
enterprise cloud adoption, many organizations focused their cloud strategies on
enabling net-new cloud-native applications written to take advantage of dynamic cloud
infrastructure and pay-as-you-go consumption-based cost models. Early success with
these implementations is convincing more and more enterprises to expand their cloud
footprint and to migrate existing applications to cloud in order to enhance end-user
experiences, optimize cloud resource utilization and costs, and create a more flexible
and agile business environment.

Companies are well aware of the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing, but many are reluctant to embrace the public clould because they don't have a way to assess and ensure security. This 36 page report highlights some of the many ways that security technologies and services - from silicon to sign-on are evolving to provide the visibility and control needed to deploy workloads flexibility in the evolving datacenter, which spans both private and public clouds.
Improved data sharing, mobility, and elasticity are the fundamental benefits for hybrid cloud storage environments. Read this report and discover the next-generation hybrid cloud storage technologies that are already available and ready to bridge the gap between your on-premises applications and data and leading cloud storage services, such as AWS, Google Cloud Storage, and Microsoft Azure.
Companies are moving applications to the cloud with software-as-a-service (SaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) usage increasing at a steady rate. IDC research has found that over half of organizations currently utilize a hybrid cloud configuration. For many companies, backing up data to the cloud is the easiest way to begin using the cloud. To achieve the benefits of backup to the cloud without taking on extra risk, IT leaders need to understand the nuances of cloud-based storage services and plan accordingly.
Modern enterprises are rapidly shifting core business processes away from legacy
technologies and standardizing on mobile devices and cloud services. As a result,
these organizations are quickly outgrowing basic mobile device management (MDM)
capabilities and apps like email and calendar. Building a secure mobile and cloud
architecture now requires a comprehensive approach to enterprise mobility management
(EMM). It requires a unified platform with defense-grade security, massive scalability, a
broad ecosystem of technology partners, enhanced Office 365 security, and integrated
desktop and mobile management. And it has to provide all of this without locking
customers into a proprietary technology stack.
"For decade, the predominant model for deploying voice technology was on premises. However, over the past five years, the opinion of cloud-based voice services, such as Office 365, has changed dramatically. Just five years ago, the majority of businesses either felt that cloud unified communication was not viable or were taking a wait and see approach.
Today the majority of respondents are planning a minor or major cloud UC purchase. For Microsoft customers, Skype for Business in Office 365 provides an excellent alternative to a traditional premises-based deployment.

In Unternehmen und Organisationen auf der ganzen Welt sind Räume, die einst gefüllt waren mit langen Kabeln, schwarzen Kisten und blinkenden Lichtern, heute wie leer gefegt. Übrig geblieben sind lediglich ein einsamer verstaubter Telefonkasten oder eine vergessene Klemmleiste, möglicherweise auch ein Kickertisch, an dem die IT-Mitarbeiter Dampf ablassen können. Der Grund für diese drastische Veränderung ist die Cloud – oder genauer gesagt die cloudbasierte Kommunikation – welche die IT-Landschaft vollkommen auf den Kopf gestellt hat. Einige ITVerantwortliche haben den Sprung in die Cloud bereits vollzogen. Andere arbeiten auf den künftigen Wechsel hin. Und wiederum andere halten weiterhin an einer lokalen Bereitstellung fest, sei es auf eigenen Wunsch oder aus Notwendigkeit.
De nombreuses organisations et entreprises dans le monde entier disposent de pièces vacantes, autrefois remplies de câbles, de boîtes noires et de voyants clignotants. Ces locaux abritent une armoire téléphonique poussiéreuse, ne contenant qu'un seul terminal, ou parfois un baby-foot que les employés du service informatique utilisent pour décompresser. Le cloud, et notamment les communications via le cloud, sont à l'origine de cette transformation qui a bouleversé le paysage informatique. Certains professionnels de l'informatique ont accueilli ce changement à bras ouverts. D'autres préparent la migration progressive de leurs services vers le cloud. D'autres enfin conservent leur solution sur site, par choix ou par nécessité.
Företag och organisationer världen över hyser nu tomma salar; salar som tidigare var sprängfyllda med vajrar, svarta lådor och blinkande lampor. I dessa övergivna rum finns bara damm, någon ensam terminal, eller kanske ett fotbollsspel där IT-proffsen kan släppa loss. Molnet – eller mer exakt, molnbaserad kommunikation – är källan till denna förvandling av IT-landskapet i grunden. Vissa IT-experter har redan anammat detta nya landskap. Andra är igång med att migrera till molnet på sikt. Ytterligare andra står fast vid en lokalt baserad teknik, medvetet eller av praktiska skäl.
IT organizations are increasingly turning toward hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions to simplify and speed up infrastructure deployments, ease day-to-day operational management, reduce costs, and increase IT speed and agility.

Managed security services to help organizations better protect their websites and web applications over time
The ongoing adoption of cloud computing by communications service providers (CSPs)
continues to fundamentally reshape their business models and technology strategies on
several levels. One such area that is garnering significant attention is the impact of the
cloud on security services. This is because security services and the vital tools they
encompass can be empowered through the adoption of a carrier cloud model. This, in turn,
better positions CSPs to meet the demands of their customers, including those in the small
to medium-size business (SMB) market segment.
The timing of this migration is optimal, since many SMBs now recognize the threats they
face and realize that given their limited IT budgets and lack of security expertise, CSPs are
well positioned to protect them from cyberattacks.
While the opportunity for CSPs is significant, many are hesitant to make a move in this area
because they want to ensure they can address SMBs’ needs and maintain control of the
service in a car
Enterprises are trending toward hybrid IT operations, turning to the cloud and managed service providers to fill the gaps in complex IT environments. This demands a new generation of MSS, enabling on-premise and managed functions to be viewed and controlled as part of a common platform.

Most companies would love to move enterprise applications
to the public cloud and cut the costs, complexities,
and limitations of current infrastructure.
Major public cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud have done well in enabling
web, mobile, and content applications in the cloud. These are
cloud-native applications designed to use cloud “object” storage,
and object storage is very popular for use cases such as backup
and disaster recovery. However, enterprise applications typically
require “block” storage. Although native cloud block storage
exists, it has several shortcomings, particularly around reliability,
durability, and lack of data mobility. So, enterprise applications
have largely stayed on-premises or in private clouds.
Now there’s an innovative new way to move enterprise applications
to the public cloud while actually reducing risks and tradeoffs.
It’s called multicloud storage, and it’s an insanely simple,
reliable, secure w
