Data
Logicalis understands the modern data lifecycle and has solutions and services to put you back in control of your data.
Talk to us today about how we drive value, mitigate risk and reduce cost from your data.
Contact usConfidence is knowing what data you have where
Data can be your biggest business asset when mining it for insights and your biggest business risk if stolen or non-compliant with regulations. The only certainty is that the amount of data you have perpetually increases.
In order to stay in control, you need to know what data you have where and govern it, protect it and manage it all while extracting value from it.
Data Governance
Data governance solutions continually discover the data in your organisation and classify it, determining what kind of data it is and whether it is sensitive. Policies ensure regulatory compliance and best-practice governance are applied to the data with location and access controls.
Logicalis data governance solutions work across on-premises and cloud environments. We work with market leading partners, including Microsoft, NetApp and IBM.
Data Protection
Modern data protection solutions collapse several protection capabilities into a single platform – backup protection from data deletion or corruption, disaster recovery and business continuity protection from non-availability of data and ransomware protection from encrypting or deleting protected data.
Logicalis data protection solutions work across on-premises, cloud and SaaS environments. We work with market leading partners, including Veeam, Rubrik, IBM and Microsoft.
Unstructured Data Management
Left uncontrolled, unstructured data hogs storage volumes with files that are rarely accessed. This leads to continual investment cycles in additional primary storage capacity.
Modern unstructured data management takes a different approach. Data is analysed for what it is and when it was last accessed and policies control tiering of data to cheaper and slower storage and eventually archive. All tiering is transparent, meaning that users, devices and apps are not affected by the movement of data between tiers.
Logicalis unstructured data management solutions work across on-premises and cloud environments. We work with market leading partners, including Komprise, NetApp and IBM.
Data Analytics
Within data analytics, business intelligence (BI) is the ability to visualise disparate sources of data to gain new insights and make better decisions. BI solutions provide a unified and scalable platform to connect data sources from on-premises and cloud sources, whether structured or unstructured, and flexible ways to analyse, secure and visualise the data.
Logicalis data analytics solutions work across on-premises and cloud environments. We work with market leading partners, including IBM and Microsoft.

The Digital Health Service – Full Stack Observability
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?

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.

Predictions for 2022
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…

Rethink infrastructure and design for flexibility
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.

We’ve done the journey to cloud. So, what’s next?
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.

The Rise of Good Enough IT – Round 2!
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!).

2021 Global CIO Survey: Unlocking data to drive business strategy and accelerate growth
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.

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.

Low-code – power to the people
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.

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.

Understanding Full Stack Observability
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.

Three key benefits of Cisco Refresh
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 importance of advancing innovation for security
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.

Sorry Dolly, working 9 to 5 isn’t a thing any more
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.

Can businesses exist if they’re not in the cloud?
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.
