Making M&A Integration Faster, Cheaper and More Successful with Liquit
Download this eBook today for practical insights on how Liquit can free valuable time for IT teams during and after the M&A process. You’ll learn how Liquit makes it easy for IT to deliver anywhere, any device, any group application access with user context. This ensures faster collaboration and productivity while freeing IT to tackle bigger IT integration projects.

You will also discover how you can:

Quickly Create adaptive and customized M&A workspace

IT teams can quickly set up a branded Liquit Workspace integrated with existing workspaces for a single user interface on the front end while enabling fast individual and group user customization via the back end. This enables you to meet changing user application and platform needs during and after M&A.

Quickly adapt to application user needs

Take application provisioning, updating, and versioning from hours to minutes for hundreds of users, along with access to thousands of curated applications to deliver merging workforce productivity. 

Unify application access provisioning

Eliminate the nightmare of access provisioning across varied on-premises and cloud environments for thousands of users in minutes rather than hours without uprooting native SSO and IAM that are constantly in flux during and after M&A.

Dramatically reduce cost and time expenditures

Eliminate collaboration and communication bottlenecks across on-premises, VDI platforms and clouds while freeing IT time for bigger M&A integration projects and lowering licensing and IT costs.

Build a Better vSAN
This white paper explores the development of a next-generation virtualized storage area network (vSAN) that provides high performance, data integrity, and cost-efficiency. Addressing the limitations of traditional VMware vSAN, it emphasizes the need for a solution that integrates seamlessly into a hypervisor, supports deduplication at the core, and offers robust data resiliency, including maintaining access during multiple hardware failures.
Building a superior Virtual Storage Area Network (vSAN) involves addressing traditional solutions' performance, resilience, and cost shortcomings. The next-generation vSAN, like VergeIO's VergeOS, integrates storage and hypervisor functionalities into a single efficient code base, matching the capabilities of dedicated storage arrays while maintaining the cost advantage of vSANs.

Key improvements include:
  • Hypervisor Integration: Seamless integration for better performance and scalability.
  • Cost Efficiency:  Eliminates expensive server hardware and storage controllers.
  • Built-in Deduplication: Core-level deduplication for minimal performance impact, maximum efficiency, and significant cost savings.
  • Intelligent Hardware Failure Protection: Enhanced resilience with data copies across multiple nodes and drives.
  • Advanced Snapshot Capabilities: Unlimited, efficient and independent snapshots.
The white paper "Build a Better vSAN" offers an in-depth analysis of these advancements, providing insights on improving vSAN performance, ensuring data integrity, and reducing storage costs. This approach sets a new standard in virtualized storage solutions, offering the reliability of dedicated storage arrays at vSAN prices.

Western Health Improves End-User Experience, Extends Endpoint Device Lifespan With IGEL
IGEL becomes the solution of choice for Western Health because it integrates with Imprivata and makes it easy for the organization to connect to multiple hosted services using the latest software agents for extending the life of legacy endpoint devices.
•    Western Health required an endpoint management solution to prolong the lifespan of aging devices, thereby enhancing their sustainability and streamlining management processes
•    Key requirements included a “Break Glass” feature, integration with Imprivata and unified communications systems, and minimizing user impact during the transition
•    IGEL was chosen due to its excellent functionality, ease of integration with Imprivata, and cost savings achieved by not replacing 1,000 thin clients
•    The solution offers role-based access control, zero-touch deployment, and integration with current management services, as well as reporting and alerting on device usage, support for change management, and end-user communication

Case Study: With IGEL OS, Heidenreich gains a solution that provides Ease of Management
Norwegian pipe wholesaler Heidenreich needed an endpoint management solution to extend the lifespan of older devices and streamline management systems. IGEL was chosen due to its excellent functionality, ease of integration, and cost savings achieved by not replacing three hundred thin clients, laptops, and PCs.

Heidenreich had challenges with their Citrix platform due to a combination of old and new DELL and Wyse hardware, laptops, and thin clients. When the company was expected to upgrade its Citrix platform to a new generation, the firm expressed concerns about the perceived high cost. Heidenreich started to look for an alternative solution, and their IT consultancy provider, Wedel IT, came up with the idea to implement IGEL OS. This case study focuses on IGEL’s ease of management, flexibility on the client side (new/old hardware), future-focused solutions, and security.

7 Trends in Endpoint Security
Endpoint security has become increasingly critical in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. With the proliferation of remote work, cloud adoption, and the rise of sophisticated cyber attacks, businesses face numerous challenges in protecting their endpoints. This report outlines the top 7 trends in endpoint security for 2023, providing IT and security leaders with valuable insights to enhance their endpoint security strategies.

The "Top 7 Trends in Endpoint Security for 2023" report provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of endpoint protection. It emphasizes the increasing importance of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), which operates on the principle that no user or device should be inherently trusted, thereby enhancing security through strict access controls and continuous monitoring.

The report also highlights the shift towards cloud-native endpoint security, offering scalability and real-time protection, especially vital with the rise of remote work. Additionally, the adoption of thin-managed operating systems is discussed, noting their role in reducing attack surfaces by securely connecting to cloud-based resources.

The integration of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms is presented as a means to streamline security operations by consolidating data from various sources. Furthermore, the report underscores the significance of a human-centric approach to security, advocating for comprehensive employee training and fostering a culture of security awareness.

Advancements in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions are also covered, highlighting features like proactive threat hunting and automated responses. Lastly, the report discusses the role of security orchestration and automation in improving incident response times and operational efficiency.
