That Other Single Point of Failure
When you’re a kid at the beach, you spend a lot of time and effort building a sand castle. It’s cool, a lot of fun, and doomed to destruction. When high tide, or random kids, or hot sun come along, the castle is going to fall apart. It doesn’t matter, kids build them every year by the thousands, probably by the millions across the globe. Each is special and unique, each took time and effort, and each will fall apart.
The thing is, they’re all over the globe, and seasons are different all over the globe, so it is conceivable that there is a sand castle built or being built every minute of every day. Not easily provable, but doesn’t need to be for this discussion. when it is night and middle of winter in the northern reaches of North America, it is summer and daytime in Australia. The opportunity for continuation of sand castles is amazing.
Help Desk Solution Empowers Employees
BMC Software this week launched MyIT, an enterprise IT help desk solution that empowers employees to take more personal control over their IT services and to get the right type of help they need — anytime, anywhere, from any device.
Frustration with company IT departments is a widely shared experience. Forrester Research reports that just 35 percent of business decision-makers say IT provides “high quality, timely end user support.” What’s more, employees are increasingly circumventing their IT organizations in search of faster IT support and problem resolution.
Moreover, studies show that the friction between users and IT help capabilities saps as much as 20 percent of productivity away from workers. That’s a day a week when things go wrong.

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley: A Risk-Based Approach to Continuous Monitoring
Organizations have become accustomed to accepting the inherent risk associated with point-in-time security assessments. With the emergence of new compliance regulations and the increasing ability to easily change environments through virtualization, we are shifting to a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring. As we move to embrace a security model that requires us to detect and mitigate real-time persistent vulnerabilities and security incidents, it is important to take a risk-based approach to continuous monitoring.
In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Dan Rojas, Director of Strategic Development at Coalfire, will share case studies that demonstrate how organizations prepare to transition to a continuous monitoring program – a program that allows them to deploy security controls that should remain effective over time, regardless of future changes that may occur on the cyber threat landscape.
Stratogent Corporation to Exhibit at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley
Stratogent Corporation, an IT managed services company, announced it will exhibit again this year at the International Cloud Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center from November 5-8.
“Stratogent is excited to return to Cloud Expo this year where Big Data and Cloud Computing are together giving Silicon Valley a rare look at these parallel trends.” said Chetan Patwardhan, CEO of Stratogent.
“We are the only service provider that installs and manages systems 24×7 in all 3 layers – in-office, in a private cloud and in the public cloud. Our customers have benefited immensely from this location and method agnostic strategy. With myriad of options to choose from, and coexistence of multiple applications in these 3 layers, companies are sometimes bewildered. And if they do end up making the right choice, managing the 3 layers across locations, time-zones, and applications remains a daunting task. Cloud Expo is a great opportunity for users to gain exposure to a plethora of solutions first hand in just a few hours of investment. At our booth 1034, we look forward to both educating novices and brainstorming with the experts. We are excited about this event and very much look forward to a great turnout!”
