Cloud security is a huge worry for small, medium and large enterprises. Solving the cloud computing security problem actually has benefits for business. Craig Balding -- the founder of Cloudsecurity.org -- actually wrote a list of seven technical security benefits of the Cloud.

Interruptions – no matter what scale of magnitude – are disruptive for businesses. Disaster recovery is extremely business-critical consideration for small, medium and large businesses. Of course, a mere ‘downtime’, ‘hiccup’, or ‘temporary problem’ for a large company might be devastating for a small or medium size company.

Companies today have burgeoning levels of data being produced and consumed on a host of aspects like consumers and related information, financials, machinery and operations related data, etc. If you had to put this data together, it’s phenomenal so to speak.

Ifa regular network has network monitoring applications, security layers andfirewalls it only makes sense that a virtual network would have somethingsimilar to the physical one. A virtual firewall is a software applicationpredominantly deployed to inspect data packets and checks to see if the data transferis in line with established policies for your company.

For all the data that is created, there has to be a way to store it in such a way that managers can pull out, retrieve, restore or even purge this data whenever needed. Efficient storage solutions are the need of the hour since the the rate at which data is created, consumed, stored and managed is growing at a phenomenal rate.

We once wrote about how networks are hungry ogres for more bandwidth and speed. The demand to manage and store humongous amount of data is the norm for most growing businesses today.  Our previous posts on Whether 10 Gigabit Ethernet is a practical solution for your business  and another one on making the case for how 10 Gigabit Ethernet forms the foundation for  high performance networks  should be a good place to start if you need to know more.

More often than not, we did discuss a lot about virtualization and Virtual Networking. We waxed eloquent about the importance of virtualization. We dug into how virtualization helps small and medium businesses and even how to secure your virtual machines.

If you have data or deal with it with respect to your company needs, you’ll need an efficient way to store all that data. Data storage, however, is an element in IT management that not everyone gets right. Investing in a storage system starts with your business needs for data storage which again depends on the needs of the users, the level of performance desired, capacities needed, etc.

An increasing influx of Viruses, Malware, and Spam can unleash war on your organization if you aren’t doing something to counter the attack. For all you know, these malicious codes could be lurking within your systems and network waiting to bring your network to a crunching halt – an event you’d be more than happy to avoid.

Recently, we published a post with a Brief look at Data Protection for Mobile Devices. We discussed a few ways that mobile security can be established. In this post, we will look at why businesses should even bother with mobile security. Why bother at all?

The face of computing has changed considerably in the recent years.
