Moving processing workloads into the cloud has helped companies lower their operating costs and build modern IT environments with high availability and elasticity.
Seamless Data Integration: Enabling SaaS Applications for Success
The IT industry has been migrating from on-prem hardware and applications toward SaaS delivery for many years. This trend has accelerated as SaaS applications has become more feature rich, widely available, and generally accepted as cost advantageous.
Solving the Challenges of Cloud Migration
Many of us can list a handful of examples where companies had high levels of market penetration, profitability, and a competitive moat that seemed impenetrable…only to end up failing due to lack of innovation. Kodak, Blockbuster, Blackberry are all examples of organizations that failed to follow modern technology and remain relevant.
Latest Release Notes – Enhanced Alerting
With our latest release of the Trustgrid Portal, we’ve added enhanced alerting and monitoring capabilities to nodes. Trustgrid’s existing alerting features enabled our customers to monitor node life cycle information including – connections (up/down), profile updates (config changes), and health checks (health of remote hosts).
Latest Release Notes – Triage and Automated Support Improvements
Cloud applications that depend on edge data suffer when an outage or slow down occurs on the network. Our latest release emphasizes fast and accurate triage by visualizing important data such as hardware resource consumption, network performance, and events.
How much Edge do you want?
Edge is about reducing latency between users or data and applications. In the cloud that might mean replicating to another availability zone. Globally there are dozens of locations that can get you lower latency.
Performance Testing IPSec vs Trustgrid TLS – Part 1
We recently wrapped up extensive performance testing of our TLS based tunnels when compared to IPSec and direct (no encryption) connections. For the sake of brevity we’ll post the results in a series of blog posts.
Local Data, Centralized Application.
Trustgrid enables cloud applications to integrate to localized data with low latency and high availability. SaaS providers connect to remote data sets over the Trustgrid network and can route data directly to local users without that data leaving the country.
SD-WAN vs Trustgrid- Part 1
The team at Trustgrid often laments the lack of innovation in WAN technologies. Many are quick to point to SD-WAN as an example of innovation, and they’re right. SD-WAN is pretty cool but it’s target market is very limited.
SDN’s role in automating compliance requirements
As Michael Vizard notes here, virtualization of network features helps automate the onerous and often changing tasks of compliance. Legacy systems demand massive amounts of labor or expensive toolsets (or both) to achieve even baseline compliance.
Potential liability when accessing customer data
Connectivity solutions will be increasingly challenged to implement the most advanced security. Enterprise scale banks can produce enterprise scale APIs but community financial institutions must rely on different methods, frequently to several vendors at a time.
The Intersection of Safety and Security
Network segmentation tools, like Trustgrid, offer ways to deploy truly private networks that could remain logically-gapped from the internet.
