Managed Desktop Increases Profit Customers for MSPs

June 28, 2019 | 165 views

Microsoft says its cloud-hosted Intune endpoint configuration and administration offering now manages 175 million computing devices. Developed originally to manage only Windows devices, the company decided to extend Intune now a core component of Microsoft 365, to manage Macs, iOS and Android devices several years ago. Anderson has also played a central role in extending the Intune APIs with ecosystem partners such as Citrix, VMware and others. At last month’s Citrix Synergy conference in Atlanta, Anderson revealed the latest plan to broaden the Intune APIs. After joining Citrix CEO David Henshall during the keynote session at the Synergy conference, Anderson sat down with Channel Futures to discuss that relationship, Microsofts effort to advance Intune, the forthcoming Windows Virtual Desktop and the Microsoft Managed Desktop service.

Virtualization can transform your company’s IT infrastructure

Article | August 12, 2022

For many companies in today’s highly competitive, rapidly digitizing world, data center transformation is not merely a one-time project – it’s a constant challenge. No corporate IT leader should be content merely to revamp their data infrastructure once, then call it a day. Instead, they should always be looking for ways to make their approach to data more dynamic and easier to scale. Ideally, they’d do so in a way that maximizes resource utilization while minimizing costs. Luckily, that’s exactly the idea behind virtualization, which involves creating a new infrastructure that’s capable of rapidly scaling and facilitating workload development. IT leaders are quickly coming to realize that with virtualization in their toolbox, they’re able to make their operations more agile than ever, and without increasing costs. This is why over 80% of enterprise server workloads today are running on virtual machines, and the market for data center virtualization is expected to reach a total value of $10 billion by 2023.

Best Practices for vSphere 6.7 Tagging

Article | July 26, 2022

vSphere Tags were introduced in version 5.1 as a way to organize inventory objects such as VMs, Hosts, Datastores, etc., a much-needed feature for helping search for or group objects within vSphere. A Tag is basically a label that can be applied to vSphere inventory objects. When an administrator creates a tag, it is then assigned to a tag category. Categories allow the grouping of related tags. When a Category is created, you can specify associations of object types (such as; VM or Datastore) as well as whether more than one tag in a category can be applied to an object (ex; One Tag or Many Tags).

How to automate the creation multiple routable VLANs on single L2 network using VyOS

Article | December 7, 2021

My personal homelab has a very simple network topology, everything is connected to a single flat network. This has served me well over the years, but sometimes it can prevent me from deploying more complex scenarios. Most recently while working with NSX-T and Project Pacific, I had a need for additional VLANs which my home router does not support. There are a number of software solutions that can be used including the popular pfSense, which I have used before. Over the Winter break, a colleague introduced me to VyOS, which is another popular software firewall and router solution. I had not heard of VyOS before but later realized it was derived from Vyatta, which I had heard of, but development of that solution had stopped and VyOS is now the open source version of that software. Having never played with VyoS before, I thought this might be a good learning opopournity and started to dabble with VyOS over the holiday.

Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Remote/Branch Offices & Edge Computing

Article | February 10, 2020

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is playing a significant role in building an enterprise multi-cloud environment. The benefits are well documented – you can learn more about them in a new white paper developed in collaboration with ViON, Fujitsu, and Nutanix, “Simplifying Multi-Cloud and Securing Mission Progress.” In addition to driving a cloud foundation, hyperconverged infrastructure is driving other use cases. In our first blog, we examined the impact that HCI can have in a disaster recovery solution. In this installment, we’ll discuss how HCI is changing the dynamics for remote offices and edge computing.

GDPR and beyond The past, present and future of data privacy

siliconangle.com | July 08, 2019

There is a GDPR framework,Venkatraman explained. You start by classifying data. Then you apply specific policies to ensure you protect and back up the personal data. And then you go about meeting the specific requirements.GDPR has changed the data game, putting security and privacy on the front page, as well as on the boardroom agenda. IDC research has shown that data protection is a key influencer in IT investment decisions, with companies asking, How do I become data driven without compromising on security and sovereignty and data locality? Venkatraman stated. Actifios copy data virtualization can help companies achieve that goal, giving them the potential for a successful future, according to Venkatraman. Companies are moving from protecting data centers to protecting centers of data,Venkatraman predicted. If Actifio can help organizations protect multiple centers of data through a unified pane of glass and have that platform approach to data management, then they can help organizations become data thrivers, which gives them the competitive advantage.
