Internetwork Engineering (IE) and Radware are redefining cybersecurity and application delivery standards

As businesses have rushed to implement work-from-home models, IT professionals have felt the sudden and expansive demands of maintaining secure network connectivity for a large number of people housed in various locations. Simplicity and efficiency have been key for ensuring smooth business continuity in this new, remote environment. With that in mind, is this the year to seriously consider implementing a Digital Network Architecture (DNA)? In fact, should you even care about Cisco DNA? There are many factors to consider when deciding whether Cisco DNA is the right solution for your business. A few questions to explore are:

We’re excited to share with you a little about our partnership with Cohesity, a pioneering data management solution provider, who’s key approach is the ability to collapse workload silos, eliminate duplicates, and share data efficiently. How will this approach benefit our customers? They can expect this partnership to help bring more simplicity, value, and effectiveness to their data management.

We are excited to announce that we have successfully renewed numerous certifications and specializations with Cisco. In addition to meeting the requirements to maintain our status as a Cisco Gold Partner, we’ve been re-certified in Master Collaboration Specialization and as a Cisco Cloud & Managed Services Master Partner (MSCP). We’ve also gained certification in Cisco’s Master Networking Specialization.

If you’re an IT Admin, we don’t need to tell you how difficult and demanding your job can be on a daily basis. You’re not only installing network gear and keeping it updated, but you’re also managing everything from clients to applications. Not to mention the demands associated with business growth. When the business grows, so does everything else in the network: the type of uses, devices, and applications. All of that falls on you and your team to install, update, and maintain. While managing these groups of clients has always been challenging, now along comes security to keep you up at night.

Working with clients on a daily basis, I’m often asked my opinion of “The Cloud”. Having been a consultant in the technology industry for 23 years I’ve seen a lot, from Mainframe to today’s Hybrid Cloud Management platforms. When I first started, I was fixing Apple Macintosh computers and their 40 MB hard drives and HP LaserJet III (PC Load Letter anyone?) printers. I personally was the proud owner of a 486/50 PC and the first Pentium 60 MHz were just starting to hit the market. I believe that when they hit the market they literally “hit” something like a tree because that first month I replaced a lot of them. Most local area networks were comprised of Ethernet hubs and heaven help us “ARCnet.” Computing infrastructure was still very heavy with Mainframes and AS/400’s and as a result highly centralized. If you wanted to manage your systems, you pretty much had to physically be in your data center on a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator.
