Hyper Converged Infrastructure: Data Protection Isn't a Snap

White Paper: Quantum

Hyper Converged Infrastructures (HCI) brings non-disruptive scaling, reduced complexity, and other benefits, but it requires a stronger data-protection strategy because hyper convergence brings new vulnerabilities. Hyper converged systems are a perfect target-one unique system to encrypt with a built-in replication to spread the malware. For smaller companies with relatively few virtual machines (VMs), a Hyper Converged Infrastructure solution may be the only architecture their data center needs, providing the ultimate simplification. Some critical applications can also be hosted on an HCI, but designing an HCI to meet performance service-level agreements (SLAs) might be challenging compared to designing a more traditional infrastructure. This whitepaper provides insights on data protection basics and its role in Hyper Converged Infrastructure projects. It also explains about how designing an HCI to meet performance service-level agreements (SLAs) might be challenging.

How To Choose The Right Microservices Architecture For Your Organization

White Paper: MuleSoft

Microservices are not a cure-all that will solve all of your problems, it is actually an architecture designed to overcome obstacles that, when deployed correctly, will produce certain desired results. Instead of adopting microservices as a singular approach — which would defy the point of the architecture, considering microservices as a series of overlapping patterns is a better option which you can pick and choose to adopt depending on your own situation. This whitepaper highlights taxonomy of microservices patterns that have been practiced in the wild. It also provides insights on establishing the right microservices architecture in your organization Key takeaways from this whitepaper: Introductory Microservices Patterns Key strengths of microservice architectures Managed State Patterns Foundational best practices for establishing the microservices patterns

Utilizing technology in small agencies

White Paper: Zywave

For any small insurance agency, deciding to make the investment in technology is a risk. Technology has changed the insurance game, and small agencies can benefit from having sophisticated, yet simple technology embedded in their culture from day one. As the insurance market place changes, it is going to make it more difficult for brokers who do not have technology as time goes on. In this whitepaper, learn how having technology in your agency can differentiate you from the rest and how to leverage technology to your agency’s advantage. It highlights: What is technology in the insurance industry and what can it mean to a broker, especially a small agency? Keys to success when leveraging technology in small agencies Technology in the small agency sphere Differences in line of business

Access Governance Made Simple

White Paper: STEALTHbits Technologies

Data access governance forces companies to look internally and figure out the quintessential building blocks that may have gone unturned for a long, long time. Access governance across File Systems is now achievable, and it should be expected that each and every company achieve it. This insightful paper shows the steps to implement the ideal model of gaining visibility, zero impact migration and ongoing governance to mitigate the data access governance issue of your organization. This technical whitepaper on ‘’The Need for Data Access Governance’’ mainly focuses on the below three points to solve the problems in data access governance : •To make data access governance simpler get open shares under control •Gain a complete and accurate understanding of how file system access is configured in your current data access governance model. •Integration of unstructured data management with Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems to alleviate the data access governance issue Download this whitepaper that describes an approach to implement a self-sustaining access governance system that will provide complete control over data access and a methodology to adopt this system with zero impact on business operations.
