[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] Looking to frame the Uplogix story around cyber resiliency the other day, we came up with a good metaphor: Uplogix works much like the incident control vehicles used by first responders in adverse weather or the all-too-frequent public safety incidents. We’ve all seen these vehicles on TV and a quick web search shows they [...]
The term hybrid network today encompasses traditional physical network infrastructure as well as networks created through network function virtualization (NFV) and even cloud networks. An out-of-band platform like Uplogix is in an interesting position to provide a consistent management platform for each, even as they co-exist within single organizations. Physical Networks This is what we [...]

By providing the government workforce with the latest information and learning resources, the goal of the partnership is to utilize university resources [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] Edge networking stood out as a key area of interest on a recent NetworkWorld survey, with more than half of respondents indicating they have immediate plans. The 8th annual State of the Network survey indicated a growing importance of edge networking as organizations look to reduce latency by bringing computing resources closer to [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) are frequently confused with each other, but are different technologies that have some similarities to, and can benefit from advanced out-of-band (OOB). First, a few definitions: SDN - Abstracting the control and management planes from the underlying hardware, say for a router or switch. [...]

The expanding list of applications includes: Drug discovery Precision medicine Clinical decision support [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] Data centers aren't going away any time soon. Enterprise data centers are expected to continue growing, with one study reporting most survey respondents expect to at least double the amount of physical servers in their data centers by 2019. 151 North American organizations surveyed by IHS Markit said the investment is primarily designed [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] A CISO Handbook was released recently by a group of federal CISO & CIO councils to help their peers navigate current government approaches to cybersecurity and risk management. Available through the CIO.gov website, the CISO Handbook is designed to provide a "one stop shop" for new and emerging information security professionals looking to [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] Today's winner for remote networking is Microsoft's Project Natick. The idea of a shipping container self-contained data center isn't new, but they've taken it to new heights, ahem... depths. The pre-built underwater data center was deployed via crane barge on a rock shelf 117 feet below the water's surface off the coast of [...]
