Spotlight on IT infrastructure and operations Spotlight on IT infrastructure and operations

As IT infrastructure is changing, so too is the operations team. Optimisation and automation tools in the cloud and data centre mean that IT leaders can focus less on support and more delivering business outcomes.

But there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. What delivery platform – public cloud, data centre or hybrid – is best for your business? What new tools and techniques can help optimise that platform? What new skills are required? And what are the best practices of leading enterprises?

iTnews will provide some answers to these questions in this Spotlight on IT infrastructure and operations, which coincides with the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Data Center Summit in Sydney on 15–16 May.

Review: Echoworx Security Cloud

Review: Echoworx Security Cloud

This is an interesting product. It is interesting both for what it does and what it doesn't do. What it does is manage credentialing throughout the enterprise, virtual or physical. It keeps credentials on the endpoints and encrypts there. It supports just about any platform one can think of.
