NIS2 - GDPR Revisited?

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it might appear to be the season of autumn approaching winter but, for me, it’s been very much the vaulting, or vawlting season. Note – this has nothing ...
It’s been a good week for "reinventing networking" conversations. And not before time – I mean, look at all the changes we’ve seen in IT in the past decade, from data types and scale thereof, ...
I’ve talked a lot about SASE in this ‘ere blog, including the SASE Network Scorecard I developed earlier in the year. For those who didn’t see that, here’s an example of one vendor completing it: ...
Just got back from a Commvault event in London (where I saw more people in 10 seconds than I do in a month in Devon!) which also gave me the opp to catch-up with old PR mate Ben Ralph. In between ...

SASE Evaluation - The Thoughts Of A Founding Father

If Q1 of this year for me was the season of “newbies” – speaking to, and working with, new vendor clients, then Q2 has definitely been the season of “catch-ups”. The essence of “catch-ups” is the ...
Thinking back to the early 2000s (I refuse to call them “the noughties”) it seemed that whatever technology you were talking about, the word “security” always came into the equation. Fast forward ...
Let’s face it, the scenario facing VMware for resellers and customer alike, post-Broadcom acquisition is common knowledge – the future landscape is not as it was. On top of that, it has to be ...
As many of you will know, one of my major focus areas since Stone Age Man (almost) has been network optimisation in its broadest sense. It seems ironic that, in 2024, optimisation is required more ...
