Introduction to Modern Data Virtualization 2021

Software-defined networking (SDN) has defined networking for the past ten years. It's been hugely influential: helping network engineers achieve much needed improvements in automation, agility and efficiency. SDN has its limits, and it's now time to look beyond SDN and day 0 and day 1 automation and into a future that continually aligns the network and business intent.

Large enterprises with global reach can have massive amounts of data stored in distributed locations in multiple geographies, with varying types of storage architectures. To use that data effectively, it has to come together. With Talon FAST’s Intelligent File Caching software, NetApp storage users, including Cloud Volumes ONTAP deployments on AWS and Azure, can now consolidate unstructured data into a single repository. Join us for this on-demand webinar and we'll show you how Talon FAST and Cloud Volumes ONTAP allow you to transform the way unstructured data is used in our latest webinar.

Data is fueling a new digital economy and compelling companies to rapidly adopt modern technologies such as Machine Learning, AI and Cognitive Science. Consequently, assembling the right blend of data from disparate sources using agile and flexible techniques like logical data warehousing to create purposeful, accessible insights is one of the greatest strategic tasks before us.

With pass-the-hash and other horizontal kill chain techniques all attackers need is one unpatched system to get started. Then as long as they can find another system – and it doesn't have to be an “important” system – to compromise they can keep moving along the horizontal kill chain until they finally reach pay dirt either in the form of a domain wide privileged account or the information itself that they seek. That's why for the past few years I've been saying you have to do everything right on every system. We've seen over and over again that it only takes one system.
