Arrow Bandwidth

IoT is on everyone’s mind right now – it’s the “buzz du jour.” IoT is sometimes perceived as just sensors, analytics and connecting things, but its value lies in answering WHY we are connecting these things or devices – more specifically, what are we going to do with the data that we extract from them? In this podcast, our experts explore how to turn IoT data into a good business outcome, failed versus successful IoT projects and much more!

Over the past several years, the definition of “Data Center” has evolved from four walls with racks of servers… to hosted data centers… to managed services… to the cloud. Today, a data center is defined as basically everything that makes up your customer’s world – data, servers, cloud, services, security – fundamentally every part of their business. But if data centers include everything, how do you put together all the parts and pieces to support your customer? In this candid discussion, our guest speaker Travis Lawrence discusses the steps you need to take in integrating data center solutions for your customers and creating the best platforms for their success.

In the past, security focused on gateways. Now, tactics have evolved and visibility is needed around multiple parts of the network. Because of this, many questions are arising around security – some people may even be wondering, what exactly IS security? It’s tough when you don’t already have a security practice but realize the need for it. If you do have a security practice, what holes might there be? During this Arrow Bandwidth podcast, you’ll learn tips for getting started in security, challenges that come with it, current trends surrounding it and more.
