Top Threats to Cloud Security

Cloud computing has taken the IT landscape by storm, from SMEs to enterprises; all are using cloud services for flexibility, easy and added advantages. Although, cloud has numerous benefits but cloud security can pose some challenges. Here are the top threats to Cloud Security.

Unlocking the Benefits of Outsourcing, your Relocation Needs

Corporate relocation is the process of relocating all the office equipment and setup to a better facility. There are many reasons a company can go for it, the most common is being in the proximity to target markets, improved working environment, easy access to skilled workforce, reduced costs and more. However, without any professional assistance, it can be a daunting task. For this reason, outsourcing is an ideal option as it allows employees to focus on their core business objectives while experts can ensure that entire relocation process goes seamless.

DATA CENTER INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

Technology is changing at a rapid pace, although cloud enjoys a dominant place in the IT landscape but  need of traditional in-house data centers cannot be ruled out, there are many companies who are still doing it traditional ways. Besides, companies who are already using cloud services are also maintaining a hybrid configuration, or at least a network facility which ensures close monitoring and high availability, thus in-house data centers still form an integral part of business entities.

With in-house data centers, a new term DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) is steadily gaining momentum. With this much growing potential, here is an overview of what DCIM can offer:

Majority of IT professionals are familiar with the term, infrastructural monitoring including resource evaluation from time to time, keeping a check on network latency, downtime alerts, constant network monitoring, these all attributes ensure your systems and software are up & running thus overall keeping an eye on health of your infrastructure. When we talk about DCIM, it offers data center services with all above features but with a wider range, power & capacity thus giving companies an edge.

How is DCIM different?
In traditional data centers you know that your servers are up but you don’t have concrete idea about how many servers can fit in your facility and safely manage to cool. DCIM provides broader data center hosting services, by filling these gaps. It introduces following concepts such as:

Maximizing system utilization thus resulting in improved efficiency
Well Optimizing physical infrastructure that includes space management too
Deep analysis of existing virtual systems
Consolidation of resources
Change management
Asset Tracking
Multi-tier monitoring

There are many traditional products that partially look after these areas but DCIM takes data center services to one step higher, with an intent to unify all assets with one centralized point of administration thereby bringing greater accuracy and efficiency.

The Three ‘A’s of a Business Continuity Program

Business stability is essential for a company irrespective of its size. It provides flexibility in order to coup over any disaster, be it nature or human error. It provides multiple benefits; it is not restricted to protecting only business data, software or hardware through server virtualization services but also safeguards employees who form an integral part of the organization. Thus, by putting a business continuity plan in practice, companies can better prepare against any potential risks or disasters and can get back on their feet with least possible downtime.
