Arrow Bandwidth

Cloud adoption is growing rapidly, with most customers using two or more cloud services. There is a huge opportunity for partners to provide public cloud services from the leading vendors, to build their own cloud offerings, to offer services that integrate with or wrap around other cloud services or to provide a mix of all of these.

Why is IoT security such a thorny topic? To be frank, it’s because it doesn’t comprehensively exist – it’s too much of an afterthought. Everyone says, “We have IoT security” …until things gets a little more complex. How are you going to protect something that’s in someone’s house if it’s connected to their WiFi network? What kind of device behavior do you want to keep an eye on?

You can secure these things all the way to the edge, but how? And how can we bring new and emerging tech into the enterprise? We answer these questions and more in this special edition of Arrow Bandwidth live from the Arrow Vision event held on May 8, 2019, in London.

In this technical deep dive, Christoph Wertz, System Engineer from Cloudera – Arrow’s newly signed supplier partner – discusses the history of Big Data, what solutions were originally implemented to manage it, and how Cloudera has stepped in and created a platform that collocates data, transforms it, and drives value. Originally, managing data was very batch oriented; but the present and the future need is near-real-time streaming with machine learning and predictive analytics. Simply stated, Cloudera can collect data from disparate data sources, both structured and unstructured, into their single platform and then they simply sort it all out at a much lower cost than other suppliers. Listen to this podcast where we delve into the details of Cloudera’s offering and why their motto is: From the Edge to AI.
