NIST Cybersecurity Framework

Putting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework into Context

September 21, 2023

Many if not all IT providers openly support and endorse the NIST Cybersecurity Framework published in 2018.

Stray Horses and the Omaha Hamburgueria

September 19, 2023

I travel quite a bit around the US and, lately, even around the world, in my role as a principal analyst and CEO for DCIG. However, my experiences on my current trip to Recife, Brazil, are a little outside of the norm as I am staying in Recife, Brazil, in an AirBnB that primarily targets Portuguese-speaking Brazilians.

Having now stayed here about a week, here are my TOP 5 general observations so far from my current trip to Recife, Brazil.

Huawei Positions Enterprises to Adopt Data Center as a Computer Model

July 12, 2023

Deploying technologies in today’s data centers generally requires enterprises to first buy, lease, or subscribe to the ones they need. Once acquired, the responsibility to effectively manage and utilize them falls to the enterprise. However, Huawei no longer views this model as the future of data center management. Rather, its growing technology portfolio combines to facilitate a data center as a computer model. This model changes how enterprises perform data center management and often better positions them to meet future challenges.

Resilience in Backup, Data Management, and DR; DCIG Video Blog #2

July 11, 2023

One of the things that’s been on our mind this week that we wanted to talk about and really been hearing a lot more about: resilience. his has been a topic for years. However, it seems like it’s taken on greater importance especially with ransomware becoming so prevalent.

June 29, 2023

Most organizations already use a hybrid cloud in some way. Of the cloud’s available offerings, cloud object storage represents the one that many use first.
