Changes are coming to Dell EMC’s midrange storage portfolio. With the unveiling of a pair of new solutions, performance upgrades, and an opportunity for investment protection, Dell EMC has made sure organizations whose storage needs fit that bill will have a lot to consider regarding the future of their data centers.

I spend a lot of time with customers talking about network security, endpoint security, monitoring, and a whole host of other security solutions that are highly technical and point to specific risks. We get so caught up in the technologies that process the data, that we rarely look at the data itself. Specifically, I’m talking about […]

Value-wise, digital transformation is often discussed using somewhat nebulous concepts, such as agility, modernization, etc. While certainly intriguing, those terms provide little tangible insight into what organizations can expect should they pursue this trend more fully. That doesn’t mean, however, there aren’t plenty of examples of that more concrete vision of what life can look […]

IT = Business. It seems a simple enough equation, one which speaks to the ideal state of equilibrium that should exist between IT’s goals and those of the business, yet in practice it’s more  complicated.

Data center transformation isn’t just a buzz-phrase nor is it merely a to-do list box to be checked off once and forgotten about. Instead, it’s a continuous process, one which IT must remain vigilant for new ways to apply. Finding these fresh approaches can prove difficult, particularly for time-strapped technology departments. However, with the help […]

Day two of VMworld 2017 brought with it even more news and announcements from the software virtualization giant. Once again, members of the Arraya team were there with pencils in hand, to capture the most important stories breaking out in Las Vegas. Here’s a look at some of the biggest announcements they witnessed during the second […]

There are few organizations whose futures will rest entirely in the cloud. Instead, most will undertake migrations on a case-by-case basis, resulting in a hybrid cloud environment. Workloads will be assessed based on individual need and industry regulations then, depending on the findings, they will either be transferred into the cloud or stored in an […]

  The evolution of networking is all about the DNA. Cisco Live, the company’s yearly tech summer camp, wrapped up last Thursday amidst the sweltering summer heat of Las Vegas. Cisco used this opportunity to showcase the evolution of the security, scale, and simplicity inherent to the next generation network. The key platform launched last […]
