Cyber Security Edge Analytics

For most, “analytics” represents a broad term, and rightfully so. As the prevailing winds of digital transformation continue to push interconnection to the digital edge, a plethora of real-time analytics requirements (and capabilities) have irreversibly raised the ante for immediately available insights on topics as far ranging as petroleum futures and retail purchasing trends to the depths of cyber security counter-intelligence.

How Application Optimization Is Redefining User Quality of Experience (QoE)

Complimentary technologies like Network Function Virtualization (NFV) that decouple traditional network devices from physical boxes and virtualize them, i.e. firewalls, load balancers, intrusion detection devices, WAN accelerators, etc. provide a platform more conducive to dynamically consumable services.

Federal Government Digital Transformation

Participation in the digital economy implies a number of paradigm shifts, but one in particular stipulates that organizations must, in simple terms, rapidly and continuously develop and deploy applications and data (the new currency of the digital economy) that enable a fluid and fruitful exchange with partners and/or consumers.
