In the race to come out first, where companies often undermine their distinctiveness, Infinidat is an example of how never losing sight of the core strengths and working to cultivate one’s essence can lead to continued success. Infinidat masters the art of balancing by settling in the sweet spot between chasing trends blindly and staying on the beaten path.

In this Tech Field Day Extra article from VMware Explore, Sulagna Saha discussed VMare's NSX+ Network Detection and Response Service. Communication gaps between teams and a prevailing lack of context in security policies, further increase vulnerabilities within the system in the form of operational inefficiency and unaddressed threat vectors. Thanks to its correlating capability, NSX+ NDR can visibly reduce the alert overload. From the thousands of events it absorbs from IDPS and NAT solutions in the network, it prioritizes notifications based on relevance and category, and shares the results with the SIEM solutions. SOCs can export both atomic and campaign events to the SIEM solutions for threat investigation and troubleshooting. This not only makes scoping and hunting threats surprisingly simple, but also reduces the volume of alerts, improves accuracy and minimizes false positives.

Snapshots are still not backups but the nature of data storage means care must be taken to determine data retention requirements. In this episode of the On-Premise IT Podcast, Brian Knudtson, Matt Tyrer, and Richard Kenyan discuss the nature of data protection and recovery point objectives. The rapid pace of cloud storage growth as well as the shift toward using microservices and serverless computing have added additional challenges to the definition of data that needs to be backed up. In addition, the terminology changes with major companies in the space have created confusion in features.
