Do You Want to Know What You Don’t Know?
Too many IT departments take the stance of «I’ll worry about it when I have to worry about it.» Problem with security issues is, by then it’s too late. Often times maintaining the status quo is as dangerous as doing nothing at all.
In my experience there are two types of enterprise IT departments -those that maintain the status quo and those looking to continuously explore and improve.
It is truly unfortunate how many fall into the former category. But the problem with IT security is that it’s an ever-evolving and moving target. So the decision to not dip your toe in the water and understand all available options could mean the difference between a panicked 3am call regarding a breach alert or a good night’s sleep.
I realize this is an over generalization, and oftentimes the decision to “stay the course” is not in the hands of IT. There are budget concerns. There are personnel limitations. There are higher perceived priorities. There are complex layers of interdepartmental decision making. So, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…right?

The cloud pushes Microsoft into data centre hardware
By Tim Stammers, Senior Analyst, IT Infrastructure
Microsoft has announced its intention to buy StorSimple, a startup seller of enterprise storage systems, for an undisclosed price.
The move reflects Microsoft’s determination to be a cloud leader, and shows that its promise to become a “devices and services company” extends well beyond its forthcoming Surface tablet, and into data centre hardware.
StorSimple sells sophisticated midrange storage systems, which store data in public clouds, such as Microsoft’s own Azure cloud, as well as on customers’ premises. This is a new style of storage that is being pioneered by a handful of suppliers, most of which are startups, and none of which has yet seen spectacular sales growth.
