There is a plethora of reasons why an organization may still be running these older operating systems, but as any respectable security practitioner will say, applying patches is the first line of defense against network-based threats.

There have been huge strides in technology innovation over the past decade, making data retention faster, more reliable and effective. Two solutions that have emerged are Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). Here are a few key differences to know.

As this year comes to a close, and with the Microsoft Ignite and AWS re:Invent conferences behind us, I’d like to share what I find to be the most exciting announcements from the leading cloud service providers (CSP) as it relates to your infrastructure and cloud adoption strategy. While both CSPs introduced dozens of new features and services during the past few weeks, what is most profound is their approach to bring the cloud closer to you; not just by introducing on-premise hardware but also partnering with industry transit providers to reduce latency.

At our headquarters in St. Louis, InterVision recently hosted a “Cloud Tech Day” for regional IT leaders and shared how to effectively communicate cloud strategies to executive leadership, within your IT team, and to other business units.

With data changing and growing so rapidly, the need to get value out of your data is even more urgent. Here’s some advice about how to approach data lakes.

Traditionally, backhauling traffic through a datacenter allows an office to access the internet, external resources, data and apps. However, this model often creates hair pinning and pinch points as well as an overall complicated and expensive process. With the emergence of software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), this can all be avoided.

In InterVision’s recent podcast episode, Jamie Lee, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, and Kevin Barker, Senior Technical Director, define what hybrid cloud is and dispel its common misconceptions.

Having lead IT teams at the state, local and federal level, Aleta Jeffress lends us her expertise on Digital Transformation and effective leadership principles required for change management and challenging the status quo.

There are a lot of aspects that IT leaders must consider when formulating their digital strategies for 2019 and beyond. A few of these aspects are outlined in the second episode of InterVision’s newly-launched podcast, Status Go—in which host Jeff Ton welcomes Isaac Sacolick, President of StarCIO and author of Driving Digital, to discuss a wide range of topics from Artificial Intelligence (AI) to proper Data Governance.

The truth of the matter is, transformation of any kind is about people. Even digital transformation is more about the people than anything else–technology included. Lean in as Ron West shares his insights.
