With the current economic slowdown, it looks like another recession could be on the cards in 2023. This usually heralds a period of consolidation within IT and the closing of the purse strings with regards to planned investments. In previous decades this was standard practice, but now that we’re in a digital age, many businesses can’t afford to slow down their digital transformations if they want to survive.

Sustainability is imperative to all our futures and is directly impacted by every device we use that consumes power. This includes the on-premises and cloud infrastructures that power our digital work lives. To be as sustainable as possible we need to ensure that we are consuming the least amount of infrastructure to host our workloads and services, without impacting their availability, performance or governance.

My emerging view of the key IT issue businesses are focusing on in 2022, is IT risk. It may be dressed up as something different, but fundamentally it is risk. This is caused by:

Business Process Management (BPM) has had something of a chequered history in the enterprise space. While Lean, Six Sigma and other quality methodologies have led some organisations to embrace formal process management as part of their DNA, others have not achieved the same level of traction.

Thanks to William Shakespeare for lending us his eternal question to adapt. Unfortunately, when it comes to cloud the answer isn’t quite as binary - so let’s discuss this in a bit more detail over the next few minutes.

Chatbots are all around us. Visit any eCommerce website today and the chances are it’ll instantly present you with a ‘How can I help you today?’ pop-up. The global market for intelligent virtual assistants is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.5% from 2021 to 2028, and social media is full of amusing stories of parrots and small children wreaking havoc via Alexa.

Effective Business Process Management (BPM) is an essential foundation for any successful business digitalisation and automation strategy. In summary, you can’t successfully automate a process unless you understand it fully, and BPM provides this understanding.

Business leaders are overwhelmed. According to Verizon, 66% of leaders suffered from burnout last year. This unfortunately is not surprising. Many leaders are constantly adapting to evolving customer expectations, the pressure to compete in the digital economy, and the variety of protracted risks facing their organisations. Leaders are learning how to empower digital-first organisations and consider the above factors to ensure the business can thrive. These factors are also fuelling the pressure to continuously innovate to stay ahead of the curve, and their competitors.

Many people nowadays have preventative health checks. Increasingly, we screen whole cohorts for disease that, if treated early, reduces the overall impact – breast and bowel cancer being the most well-known. This not only improves the chance of making a full recovery, but also requires less visits to the doctors. Our nations also invest heavily in healthcare for the unwell, but increasingly invest in public health to prevent us getting unwell - the COVID test and vaccination programme being a leading example. So, should we also be making regular health checks on our business?

There are plenty of statistics around the staggering amount of data being created and consumed globally every day. 2.5 quintillion (million million million) bytes created daily by internet users, a 5000% increase in data interactions between 2010 and 2020, and so on.

Data is a valuable business asset, yet many organizations are still not managing it with the same rigour they apply to physical assets.

Recent Logicalis UKI eBooks and articles have focused on the critical role of data in digital business, from unstructured data and the role of Information Lifecycle Management to the importance of robust, business-driven data storage strategy.

As data becomes an increasingly valuable asset, organisations have to adapt, to manage and protect their data to ensure it delivers maximum value to the business.

There are plenty of informative and valuable articles on the web about trends in data storage technology, discussing everything from reducing last byte latency to the wonders of consumption-based pricing. Data and storage are hot topics, unsurprisingly in an age where, as Mckinsey puts it, ‘“digital” and “data” have become the talk of the town.’

Dublin, 26th May 2022 – Logicalis, the IT solutions and managed service provider, today announces that it has won the award for Managed Security Service Provider of the Year at the Tech Excellence Awards 2022, which took place at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dublin on the 25th of May.

Heritage technologies - mainframe, Unix and magnetic tape in particular – have long been a rich source for the ‘is x technology dead?’ debate. Technical pundits fill the web with head scratching over why they haven’t disappeared, or defences for their survival.

In challenging economic times, organisations naturally look to cut back or defer non-essential investment. IT spend has traditionally been one of the areas businesses look to first when the need arises to cut budgets or delay projects, sometimes creating a ‘good enough IT’ mindset, where any IT asset that is doing the job reasonably effectively today is maintained beyond the last responsible moment for replacement.

A lot of us have ended up as hybrid workers, spending some of the working week in the office and the rest of our time split between working from home, a third party’s office or on-the-go. Each day, regardless of where we are, we connect to corporate services to do our jobs. Some of those services will be hosted in data centres, some in clouds and the rest via the internet.

"Unix is dead, long live Unix" – a headline that is still as topical today as it was in 2009, when a blog with that title was published to mark Unix’s 40th birthday.

In its broadest sense, virtualisation can be seen as the progressive freeing up of any computing function – compute, storage, network – from the constraints of its physical infrastructure. So far, virtualisation has been a continuous evolution, from the first virtual machines (VMs) to the world of hybrid cloud, and there is no sign yet of this evolution losing momentum.

The word ‘work’ has long been synonymous with a location – you ‘go to work’. Now that we’ve adapted to living through the pandemic, ‘work’ simply defines what we do - the place we do it no longer matters. Moving forwards, the benefits to enabling the workforce to work from anywhere, and the flexibility to work-life balance that it allows, can’t be ignored – indeed many believe it will be paramount to attracting and retaining talent.

London, United Kingdom, 28th April 2022 – Logicalis UK & Ireland (UK&I) today announces it has been recognised as one of the 290 UK’s Best Workplaces™ (2022) by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, achieving a ranking of 81 in the medium size category published by Great Place to Work® UK today.

The way we work has been evolving for several years, no longer is a job 9 to 5 and conducted out of an office revolving around the desk you occupy. In the modern world, the expectation is that everything is available 24/7 and as workers we have an expectation that we can do this from anywhere, at any time, securely and performantly.

A vital component of any successful business is enabling employees to collaborate from anywhere. In the new digital workspace with employees split across office and home environments, effective collaboration needs to be seamless across every working space. Employees need to feel that they can communicate with each other at any time, from anywhere. It is not, however, an easy task, and to succeed, businesses must address the tears in the already stretched fabric of collaboration.

The move to remote working during the pandemic tested security teams to the limit as they rushed to support a borderless workforce with makeshift infrastructures. The effects of this rapid change in working environments are still being felt today, with 94% of CIOs concerned about serious security threats over the next 12 months with data breaches (47%), malware and ransomware (39%) and lack of staff awareness (30%) noted as key areas of concern.

London, 21 March 2022: While 94% of CIOs acknowledged some form of serious threat over the next 12 months, only 27% listed business continuity and resilience as a top-three priority during the next 12 months and barely a third cited risk mitigation as a measure of performance. These findings come from the fourth section of the 2021 Global CIO Survey from Logicalis, a global provider of IT solutions.

Logicalis, Cisco and Microsoft discuss the impact of diversity and inclusion on business success. As employees leave their organisations in droves in pursuit of a more meaningful existence and the war for talent heats up, leaders must reflect on their current strategies and structures, which may no longer be fit for purpose. Organisations need to transform their vision and leadership strategies to address the talent crisis while enabling an inclusive future for all.

The workplace prior to the pandemic is unrecognisable to what it has become today. The rise of remote working and a younger digitally native workforce, is shaking up traditional business structures. Many organisations are still adapting their workspaces to cope and in some instances need to overhaul their approach to work entirely.

London, 14th March 2022: Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed service provider, is pleased to announce the appointment of Damian Skendrovic to the role of CEO for the EMEA region, as of 8th March 2022.

The modern workplace is an increasingly complex environment, and for many is now split between the office and remote work. For businesses to succeed in this new world, they must address some of the common challenges associated with a hybrid workforce and adapt to provide a digital workplace fit for the future.

Why do you think International Women’s Day is important? Personally, I think there is still a long way to go for equality and equity for women. Having a day to highlight the achievements of women will ensure that there are positive role models for all generations.

Why do you think International Women’s Day is important? There are still some life situations (work, culture, religion) where being a woman can be both career and life limiting. International Women’s Day focuses attention on this.

Why do you think International Women’s Day is important? Celebrating great women and their achievements!

Why do you think International Women’s Day is important? It gives the young generation exposure to what roles they can do; you can be whoever you want to be regardless of sex!

The pace of change in IT over the past few years has been truly staggering. Cloud based services, the rise of the Internet of Things, software defined technologies and the hugely concerning increase in cyber crime, to name but a few.

In the modern mobile driven world, security is everyone’s responsibility whereas not too long ago it was considered as mainly an issue for Information Technology (IT) departments – yet people have been misusing data for gain long before the first Chief Information Officer (CIO) was appointed.

London, United Kingdom: 17th February 2022 – Logicalis UKI today announces it has been named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing (2022) by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture. This announcement builds on the recognition that Logicalis UKI was one of the UK’s Best WorkplacesTM in Tech for 2021 and ranked 61 in the 2021 UK’s Best WorkplacesTM list in the Medium (50-250) category.

The Threat Landscape has changed. So, what’s next? In the modern mobile driven world, security is everyone’s responsibility whereas not too long ago it was considered as mainly an issue for Information Technology (IT) departments – yet people have been misusing data for gain long before the first Chief Information Officer (CIO) was appointed.

Let me start with an honest reason for why I have written this post.  I have no qualification around disability, this post is driven as I qualify as a very proud dad of a 16 year old who has cerebral palsy and is profoundly deaf. I am a dad who wants my son to have the same opportunities as his two brothers, (so I’m the same as all dads really!) and my question is has the pandemic changed the landscape for members of our communities who have disabilities?

However, despite increased efforts less than a third describe innovation as part of company culture. CIOs are spending more time on innovation, with three quarters stating they have increased innovation efforts, according to the 2021 Global CIO Survey from Logicalis, a global provider of IT solutions. The study, which questions 1,000 CIOs from around the world, finds that despite a strong focus on innovation, just 27% of CIOs describe innovation as part of their company culture.

Logicalis UK&I is excited to announce that we have achieved the Cisco Advanced Customer Experience Specialization, recognizing our excellence in delivering customer support and success. This places Logicalis UK&I amongst just ten companies in the UK to achieve this specialisation.

Logicalis, a global IT solutions and managed service provider, today announces the launch of their digital workplace solution designed to help organisations manage, measure and scale the collaboration experience for the digital workplace.

A hybrid workplace approach offers many benefits, chief among them the opportunity to unlock potential already held within businesses through operational efficiencies.

The ‘forced experiment’ of the last year and a half has undoubtedly shown that employees are not less productive outside of the office. In fact, many remote workers go above and beyond, reporting higher productivity and thrive when given radical flexibility to focus on consistently delivering desired outcomes in a way that works for them.

Google either of these terms and you’ll come up with thousands of different answers as to what they are and what their differences are. I think it’s time to simplify the basics of our ever-expanding technology lexicon, so let’s define what these should mean and why.

Security is one of the biggest challenges that any organisation can face. As businesses look to adopt a hybrid approach, the lack of a clearly definable network perimeter has undoubtedly increased the risk of threat and attack substantially.

In the past you did not need to ask this question. The old network was unsupported, and the capacity was constraining the business. There were different questions of course; which vendor? where is capacity needed? Layer 2 or Layer 3? and wide area connectivity? In the last year this has changed.

We are awash with predictions for 2022 from analysts, vendors and the channel. Some of these reflect the global market situation, some reflect new technologies looking to be adopted and some simply leave you scratching your head. Not to be outdone, I’ve also created a list of 5 predictions for 2022. It’s deliberately short but reflects discussions with customers around key challenges, as well as newer technologies on the mainstream horizon. This could easily have been a top 10 list but whittling that down to 5 focuses the mind on what will have the most significant impact and resonate with the widest audience. So here goes…

To be able to extract the best value from employees and technology, remote working strategies need to be carefully considered and designed. Existing remote work strategies were mostly implemented as a response to work from home orders and are unlikely to be able to support a hybrid workforce in the long term. Whilst the temporary measures did well to sustain businesses, they lack the flexible, adaptable infrastructure required to sustain hybrid working practices.

In one sense, our cloud journey has reached its destination. There’s little doubt that cloud is now mainstream technology and has been for some time, especially when you consider it’s over 10 years since the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture was published – and cloud had already been around for a while even then.

Back in November 2020 I wrote an article about the rise of ‘Good Enough IT’ (The Rise of ‘Good Enough’ IT) which looked at the effects the pandemic had taken on spending and planned architecture refreshes and the risks associated with doing nothing. 12 months on and what a year we have had! We all know about the pandemic, so I will just leave that there (but if anyone has a crystal ball to predict the future, please let me know!).

The first report from Logicalis’ 2021 Global CIO Survey, The Changing Role of the CIO: Agents of Change, revealed there has been a notable shift in the role of the CIO, as respondents highlighted customer experience, innovation and operational efficiency as their top priorities. To improve these areas, CIOs increasingly rely on data to understand changing behaviours and adjust their strategy accordingly.

As we emerge from a period of global socioeconomic volatility, we have an opportunity to capitalise on the ‘forced experiments’ of the last year and consider their learnings from such a challenging period.

While 78% of businesses realise the value of digital transformation, only a quarter are using data to drive business strategy

Work used to be a fixed place you go to, but it has evolved into something you do. Top and emerging talent is conscious of this transition and expects more flexibility from employers when it comes to the workplace. Research suggests 77% of Gen X employees would prefer to work for a company that gives them the flexibility to work from anywhere rather than at an expensive office.

This week I read a great article from Jenna Sargent (here) on how low-code tools can be used to eliminate Shadow IT. The point was simple, if the IT department doesn’t provide individuals with the right tools they need, then traditionally we would have seen users searching for the right tool for themselves and using unsanctioned apps. This situation can lead to security, data leak, etc risks. The new model emerging is to facilitate users with low-code tools and say that if the current set of apps doesn’t give you the workflow that best fits your role, create your own.

So congratulations, you’ve migrated what workloads you can to a secure production-ready cloud and have built a hybrid cloud architecture between that and your non-cloud apps and data. You’ve just got on the cloud bus, next stop optimisation.

These days you can stick a CPU on just about anything to make it ‘smart’. You’ve probably heard about Smart NICs, Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs) or Computational Storage as concepts, but these technologies are being rapidly developed and will be let loose on the mainstream market soon. So, what’s it all about?

Strong customer relationships have become a critical business priority according to the results of the first report in a four-part series following the eighth annual Logicalis Global CIO Survey. The pandemic has emphasised the importance of digital transformation, particularly creating online experiences for customers as sophisticated as in-person. For CIOs, this has meant rethinking their business strategies. Continuing to shift from day-to-day management, CIOs prioritise innovation, business adaptability, and customer experience more than anything else.

In the age when I have to communicate with my kids via social media to get their attention, it’s no surprise that social engineering bore our most contemporary digital threat, phishing, as the lure for the high-profile cybersecurity threat of ransomware.

What is it and how do we get started? Whilst Observability is a current buzzword, I was reminded of Control Theory lectures many years ago. At that stage it referred to knowing the internal state of a system from observing the outcome. It relied on the systems being linear and deterministic. But our connected world is anything but linear or deterministic. It is hugely interconnected in complex meshes, processes like those involved in online purchasing, run independently but are interdependent, and AI will result in non-deterministic outcomes. My old understanding of the term does not work in this new world.

We find ourselves in unprecedented times. As the Covid pandemic begins to wind down, we are seeing manufacturing, logistics and supply chain issues manifesting themselves across all aspects of our lives. In the IT industry shortages of integrated circuits (silicon chips) are resulting in some very long product lead times, which in turn are impacting our customers abilities to deliver - digitisation projects that are being accelerated in part due to Covid.

The initial pivot towards remote working, as the world underwent its most recent digital transformation due to the pandemic, took an average of 11 days according to a survey from McKinsey. In pre-pandemic times, executives suggest that a transition on such a scale would have taken up to a year, indicating an acceleration of 40x.

One thing we’ve all learnt from the pandemic is that working 9 to 5 in an office isn’t how it has to be. We can be equally productive working from home with flexibility in our hours and a much better work/life balance. One thing that I certainly missed though are those little off-topic chats with people, where ideas are sparked, that air of creativity is hard to reproduce when your day consists of back-to-back video calls.

Logicalis, a global IT solutions and managed service provider, today announces the launch of its new security solution - Secure OnMesh.

What on earth is that I hear many of you ask, don’t IBM just make big expensive mainframes? Well indeed not, POWER10 is the latest generation of IBM’s Risc-based systems that many Enterprises trust for running their crown-jewel applications on, both on premise and in Public Cloud. Following IBM’s announcement about the POWER10 chip at Hot Chips in August 2020, IBM formally launched the chip this month with the Enterprise E1080 server now available to order.

Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed services provider, has just won the NetApp Partner Award for EMEA Hybrid Cloud partner of the Year. NetApp, a global cloud-led, data-centric software company, presents these accolades annually in recognition of the investment and cooperation of its key partners.

Workspaces have evolved rapidly in the past 18 months, with new, distributed workflows accelerated by the pandemic and the need for remote working. These workspaces need to accommodate an increasing number of digital natives that expect always-on, instant connectivity and are defined by the need for agile, adaptable business practices.

Monday 4th October 2021, London – Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed service provider, has joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA). MISA is an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security service providers that have integrated their security solutions to better defend against a world of increasing threats. MISA members are experts from across the cybersecurity industry with the shared goal of improving customer security. Each new member brings valuable expertise, making the association more effective as it expands.

Logicalis UK, today announces it has been named as one of the UK’s Best WorkplacesTM in Tech for 2021. This news follows the recent recognition of its ranking of 61 in the 2021 UK’s Best WorkplacesTM list in the Medium (50-250) category published by Great Place to Work®.

The role of the CIO is evolving with an increased focus on unlocking customer connections through service innovation, according to the 2021 Global CIO Survey from Logicalis, a global provider of IT solutions. The study, which questions 1000 CIOs from around the world, reveals the shift in the role of the CIO with the majority of respondents stating innovation, operational efficiency, and customer experience as their top priorities.

The world has become a digital hub. From retail to banking to higher education, consumers now demand seamless digital interactions as a minimum. Indeed, the majority (84%) of consumers expect brands to adopt new digital solutions in the next year. Businesses can’t afford to ignore customer demands for a digitally enhanced offering and must establish their own digital strategy to create a competitive advantage through technology.

As businesses rise to meet the challenge of the always on digital workspace, the pressure on IT staff is growing. With more people working from home and using their personal devices, businesses are exposed to greater levels of risk. Indeed, given that 91% of all cyberattacks originate with email, it’s critical for businesses to balance the need for empowering employees in their work lives, whilst mitigating security risks that this way of working presents.

Zero Trust is very topical and most IT vendors and analysts will tell you it’s something that you need to address. So, what is Zero Trust, why is it better and how to you build it?

Workplaces have been in a constant state of evolution as far back as the industrial revolution, but the pace of change in the workplace has accelerated rapidly over the last few years.

Cloud adoption skyrocketed throughout the pandemic, and Gartner forecasts spending on public cloud to increase over 18% this year as organisations continue migrating to more agile, flexible, and secure environments.

The talent acquisition landscape has never been more competitive. Digital skills shortages, access to a wider digital pool, and remote recruitment processes have left businesses grappling to get suitable candidates through the door.

IT investment has historically meant ploughing capital into datacentres, often for unclear direct business benefit, with periodic technology refreshes that can only be justified in terms of avoiding technical risk.

A staggering 97% of IT directors said their companies invested in digital transformation efforts last year, with the same number of directors expecting that investment to continue in 2021. However, despite this acceleration of digital transformation, over 79% of executives admit they do not review internal processes or set objectives before a transformation process begins.

Perfect harmony between processes, data and IT – business Utopia? What makes a perfect business? Of course, your answer depends on whether you’re looking at it from a customer, shareholder, finance or sales, HR or IT perspective. Regardless of that, though, I suggest perfect harmony between business processes, IT and data is a feature.

Jargon such as ‘game-changer’ and ‘paradigm shift’ are often used in the technology industry to drive interest and excitement about the latest innovations. This overuse of adjectives makes it difficult to identify when something comes along that genuinely makes a significant step-change, relative to all other innovations. However, 5G technology is just the sort of event that actually is a game-changer.

Remember the buzz of the first Tesla sports car? Here was a beautiful thing with neck-snapping acceleration that wouldn’t kill the planet. The waiting list stretched to the moon and back, despite the price-tag.

The CRN Women in Channel Awards take place every year to shine a light on the IT leaders, influencers, exceptional employees and role models who will inspire the next generation. We’re extremely proud to have five of our wonderful women nominated. Meet Tina, who is nominated for the Unsung Hero award.

Logicalis announced today that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Network Consulting Services 2021 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US48076121, August 2021).

Digital transformation is more than just the adoption of technologies to improve products and processes. It is a journey with the ultimate goal of digitising legacy or analogue functions to reap the benefits of scale, automation and speed. The result is a digitally transformed business with empowered employees, engaged customers and optimised operations which unlocks business value and to provide competitive advantage.

We recently received an award for being one of the ‘Great Places to Work’ in the UK. Winning awards is always special, and as the MD, it makes me incredibly proud of our team. We always relish the opportunity to showcase our work as well as our greatest asset, our fantastic employees. From HR to finance, and everyone in between has turned this business into an enjoyable and welcoming place to work and I'm thankful and proud of them for doing that. It’s a testament to the work they do and the work we do driving our customer success that we have been recognised for being a great place to work.

Business leaders everywhere are realising ‘I won’t exist if I am not in the cloud’. Survival and business continuity relies on two critical features: Firstly, competitiveness. How productive is your workforce? Are you utilising data to better serve customers and win new business? Are your operations as cost optimised as they can be? The second component is resilience. Without resilience any business will fail. Does your business have the agility to respond to market pressures? Are you protected against ransomware and other growing threats? Is your business confident in these areas? If not, that’s a challenging place to be, and you run the risk of falling behind.

Data management is a journey – data and technology evolve, change and grow, and data management has to evolve with them. In a data-driven economy, this journey has to run in lockstep with the business journey, understanding and managing data in line with the needs and goals of the organisation at the time.

The global recruitment landscape has never been more competitive. A mass shortage in digital skills coupled with access to a wider geographical talent pool means businesses are battling to get the right people through the door. What’s more, international lockdowns and travel restrictions have driven recruitment to a remote process.

As data centre hardware lead times stretch out to 52 weeks, companies face the stark choice of either pausing projects or finding an alternative.

Back in May 2018, the new Data Privacy Law was introduced to Europe and over that period several high-profile companies have fallen foul of being compliant. It seems strange to say that people seem to have lost the focus that was around in 2018, but with Brexit has come a wave of new changes to the law, and companies more than ever need to review their data management policies and practices and stay on top of being compliant.

We are all now comfortable working from home and the roles that were always perceived to be office-based roles have been remotely working for the past 12 months, so why is there a need to change?

Most, if not all, of our customers face challenges around their data management, with today’s very real hybrid multi-cloud landscape affecting enterprises of all sizes. Sometimes seen as a bit of a long-standing cliché, back in 2017, The Economist published a story titled, "The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data”. It is apparent this cliché has become so true to all our customers, as they strive to gain true business value from their data and become more competitive in their industries.

In the ever-increasingly digital world that we find ourselves in, our customer’s reliance on digital technologies and applications has never been greater and is only going to continue to grow.

As businesses look to adopt new applications in multiple clouds, the traditional WAN (wide-area network) function no longer works in this cloud-centric world. In recent years, IT has realised that user application experience does not meet expectations, and technology is becoming quickly outdated with the rise in traffic that cloud adoption brings.

Another Microsoft Ignite has been and gone again and there was a ton of content crammed into a few days. I thought I’d share the pick of my takeaways for those who were not able to virtually attend. As with everything, what I find interesting will be subjective – but I will try give some context for each announcement on why I think it is important. With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s get stuck into it…

The global pandemic is far from over but we can see a flickering light at the end of the tunnel, so it’s time to start planning and building what post-pandemic normal is going to be. There have been plenty of opinions published on what the ‘new normal’ will look like – some claim it’s the death of the traditional office and others expect things to be pretty much as they were before. The reality is, as ever, going to be somewhere in between and we have many takeaways from the last 12 months of lockdowns to draw from, things that worked and things that didn’t.

Everyone is talking about Digital Transformation; it has been a buzz word for a number of years now and a focal point for many organisations. IT Transformation on the other hand gets little limelight and is something that is often forgotten in business discussions, but it has a major role to play in the digital journey. So why is it so out of fashion?

If you’re uncertain about how to build the digital platform that takes your business to the next level, consider the benefits of being able to quickly scale your cloud resource up and down to meet your technology needs.

Configuring your Azure environment to the best advantage can look like a daunting set of tasks. But, by building a solid landing zone you can ensure that your business-critical cloud workloads are secure, reliable, scalable, and efficient.

Remote working had already begun to become more mainstream in recent years. However, no one could have predicted the impact of the pandemic on the future remote working. According to recent US technology research, globally the number of employees permanently working remotely is set to double in 2021 from 16.4% to 34.4% In fact, a report from Cardiff University and the University of Southampton showed that 88% of employees who worked at home during lockdown would like to continue in some capacity even once restrictions lift.

As the importance of data as a corporate asset grows, data management becomes ever more critical. Data is the new oil, not just in terms of its value, but as the vital fuel for AI and the other core elements of digital business.

Effective execution is just as important as a strong data management strategy. Taking practical steps to deliver immediate tangible cost, time and management benefits maintains momentum and focus. Which is where these four hacks for data management in a hybrid cloud world come in. Ideally, they should be implemented as part of a wider coherent data management strategy, but they have the advantage of delivering substantial benefits in their own right.

Understanding where your business is in its data management journey is a positive first step. The overhead of establishing and maintaining effective data management may be daunting, particularly for businesses which are starting from a low base. The good news is that there is plenty of technology out there to help, from automated discovery tools to the built-in data management capabilities that are increasingly a part of enterprise platforms. Logicalis UK have extensive expertise and experience in helping organisations on their data management journey.

Logicalis UK will give customers greater value from Oracle’s comprehensive offering – with more systems and better advice on boosting productivity.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the rise of ‘Good Enough’ IT and the idea that in the current climate organisations may be looking to sweat their assets for longer than usual and why this is perhaps not the best idea. Well since I published the blog, I have spoken to a couple of companies about their architecture and one of the common threads in both conversations was that they both had legacy SPARC Solaris estates and they were a challenge for them to manage.

A decade ago when cloud was beginning to take off, the predictions were that we would all be 100% in a cloud within 10 years. Next cloud was so good that one wasn’t enough and so multi-cloud was the way to go. After that, the prediction changed again and hybrid cloud was going to be the architecture of choice for the next 10 years. Today, with a whole raft of second-generation cloud services coming from both the cloud providers and technology vendors, it looks like we are in fact heading to a hybrid multi-cloud world.

Most industry data suggests that the lion’s share of sales in the HCI market are going to Nutanix or VMware, so why consider anything else? Well if you’re thinking about building a hybrid cloud, read on…

To say it has been an unusual year is an understatement, and we still have a lot to face in the coming months; one of those being a new period of austerity and potential recession. When times get hard, organisations will naturally review their budgets and projects they have on the roadmap, and tough decisions will have to be made about where to make investments. Now for many people that will be investing in things such as business continuity and remote working solutions to prepare for the “new normal”, but what happens to the other projects?

This Sunday marks the 8th year of World Backup Day. What began as a light-hearted campaign to encourage end-users to create secure copies of their treasured photos and files is slowing morphing into a message for the business community: without data there is no business.

Data Management has always been a challenge for organisations and with the changing landscape of how businesses run their IT, this has never been more accurate. For years, many organisations have had a siloed approach to data management. And by that I mean data is put into buckets - whether that be on premises on traditional architecture or in a private cloud - through to branch offices with their own silos of data. Add into this the advent of public cloud and the utilisation of multiple public clouds, companies have found themselves with pockets of data spread across the whole organisation. As a result, many companies have approached data management in a similar way - with the approach being siloed, rather than an overarching data management strategy.

Having the ability to run VMware virtual machines on Microsoft Azure brings many cloud benefits to the mainstream, while being overlooked by cloud-native purists. It’s a question of perspective and, as with most things in life, different people have differing views.

This week, we welcome guest blogger Paul Pugh, Mason Advisory Director, to give his view on the Logicalis Global CIO survey findings and tell us what’s keeping his clients awake at night.

Peel away the shiny facade of any great business and you’ll no doubt see the same things. Data. People. Process. This combination, when correctly tuned, is the critical factor in the success of businesses today. So I’m always surprised when I work with clients who haven’t yet discovered this ‘secret sauce’ and who aren’t yet driving value from their data.

It’s an undeniable fact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live. From facial recognition and voice technology assistants to self-driving cars, AI has crept into our lives and as consumers we use it without a second thought.
