Controlling Cloud Costs without Sacrificing Availability or Performance
Controlling Cloud Costs without Sacrificing Availability or Performance
Topics: SIOS, high availability, cloud, HA
This white paper is to help prevent cloud services sticker shock from occurring ever again and to help make your cloud investments more effective.
After signing up with a cloud service provider, you receive a bill that causes sticker shock. There are unexpected and seemingly excessive charges, and those responsible seem unable to explain how this could have happened. The situation is critical because the amount threatens to bust the budget unless cost-saving changes are made immediately. The objective of this white paper is to help prevent cloud services sticker shock from occurring ever again.

See It, Fix It, Manage It: Ensuring Hybrid and Multi-cloud Applications Are Reliable and Secure
See It, Fix It, Manage It: Ensuring Hybrid and Multi-cloud Applications Are Reliable and Secure
Topics: Forward Networks, multicloud, hybrid, compliance, audit, cloud security
Most enterprises are moving to hybrid or multi-cloud architectures. Operating these environments requires IT teams to rethink their approach to monitoring and reporting on applications and environments. Cloud services differ in functions which makes achieving and maintaining a consistent configuration difficult but not impossible. A significant portion of companies plan to utilize third-party products, reducing some of the variability in feature capabilities across clouds to simplify management.

The author of this Pathfinder report is Mike Fratto, a Senior Research Analyst on the Applied Infrastructure & DevOps team at 451 Research, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence. Pathfinder reports navigate decision-makers through the issues surrounding a specific technology or business case, explore the business value of adoption, and recommend the range of considerations and concrete next steps in the decision-making process.

This report explores the following topics:

  • the growth of already commonplace cloud usage for mission-critical applications
  • the importance of cloud governance
  • the top cloud security concerns for enterprises
  • the adoption of third-party tools for cloud management
  • the steps IT teams should take to make their cloud environments more secure and reliable

Ten Topics to Discuss with your Cloud Provider
Ten Topics to Discuss with your Cloud Provider
Topics: 1111 Systems, 11:11 Systems, IaaS, Cloud Management, Disaster Recovery, DR, Multi-Cloud
Find the “just right” cloud for your business. For this white paper, we will focus on existing applications (vs. new application services) that require high levels of performance and security, but that also enable customers to meet specific cost expectations.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of cloud services available to organizations. In many cases, the capabilities of the service, adjusted for cost, matter more to decision makers than the infrastructure itself. As an example, the underlying infrastructure that supports common business software such as Salesforce, Microsoft Office 365, is rarely scrutinized, as the products are trusted solely on the brand’s reputation.

Choosing the right cloud service for your organization, or for your target customer if you are a managed service provider, can be time consuming and effort intensive. For this paper, we will focus on existing applications (vs. new application services) that require high levels of performance and security, but that also enable customers to meet specific cost expectations. Topics covered include:
•    Global access and availability
•    Cloud management
•    Application performance
•    Security and compliance

Coretek Teams with IGEL to Transform VDI Deployment for a Defense Contractor
Coretek Teams with IGEL to Transform VDI Deployment for a Defense Contractor
Topics: IGEL, Security, VDI, Windows 11, Collaboration
IGEL’s industry leadership has made it an integral part of Coretek’s on-premises VDI offering. This offering uses Nutanix in combination with Citrix VDI to deliver secure end-user access to virtual applications and desktops.

A defense contractor with whom Coretek has had a long-standing relationship spanning nearly two decades had attempted to migrate to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment twice with another technology services provider without success. Impressed by Coretek’s success with VDI implementations in healthcare and other industries, the defense contractor turned to the solution provider for help.

Coretek's VDI offering has evolved significantly over the years to better support today's power users. Due to its industry leadership, IGEL OS is currently the standard for new customer VDI rollouts at Coretek. One of the things that the Coretek team appreciates most about IGEL OS is its high level of configurability, as well as IGEL’s commitment to staying current with trends in the EUC space by aligning IGEL OS with a broad ecosystem of leading vendors, including those providing unified communications and collaboration (UCC) applications and tools. In this particular case, IGEL OS, in combination with new Dell endpoint hardware, enabled Coretek to restore performance following a significant shift in the customer’s usage of its UCC tools.

The customer is currently utilizing high-performance VDI desktops, leveraging IGEL OS at the endpoint, to design defense equipment and support connectivity and collaboration through video conferencing. IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ supports Zero Trust security approaches and partners with leading Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) vendors to complement and reinforce these solutions from a security standpoint.
