Data growth is a major trend affecting organizations of all sizes, from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to large enterprises. IDC’s Data Age 2025 Report: Digitization of the World from Edge to Core
predicts that data volumes will increase from 33 ZB in 2018 to 175 ZB by 2025. The firm also estimates that approximately half of the world’s data (49 percent) is already stored in the public cloud, and as data volumes rise over time, the amount of information stored in the cloud will continue to increase.

Managing this data growth is a top-of-mind issue for SMBs. In 2019, Techaisle surveyed small and medium sized firms to identify their top business issues, as well as pressing IT priorities and challenges. Respondents indicated that managing data growth is a top concern, outranking business continuity and data protection. The astronomical growth of information is making it difficult for all IT organizations, especially those inside SMBs, to handle data backup, protection, recovery and long-term retention. In response, many companies are turning to managed service providers (MSPs) for help.

In its 2019 Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking report, Gartner defines SASE (secure access service edge) — pronounced “sassy” — as an emerging market that combines elements of Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) and network security into a single cloud-managed package. Gartner has labeled it “transformational”. 128 Technology has been SASE (or sassy) since Birth! 128 Technology recognized that security must be fully integrated into the network. 128 Technology Session Smart™ routers have built-in security capabilities that are inherent part of the architecture. In addition, service-based routing ensures that sessions are delivered based on identity and context to relevant parties based on real-time policies. This ensures that a modern cloud-centric digital business can provide secure access to users and devices anywhere.

Current firewall architectures are complicated, do not scale and lock you in. That’s why many look at virtualization to solve the issue just like it did for data centers and the cloud. But to make virtualization consumable, you need a turnkey platform that offers simple, automated virtualization of hardware firewalls and zero-touch network security operations. This whitepaper will explain how MSSPs can leverage this platform to offer a new firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) that replaces their customers’ physical firewalls and begins the journey towards a complete secure access secure edge (SASE) architecture.

Business Continuity Plans are critical to protecting organizations against costly downtime and data loss. Data centers, server rooms, telecom closets and other IT facilities are particularly vulnerable to downtime caused by factors such as temperature, humidity, power loss and more. Learn why environment monitoring should be a key factor in your Business Continuity Plan, and how it can alert you to potential concerns such as high heat, water leaks, power loss and more before they cause downtime and data loss.

Businesses are increasingly compelled to look for effective ways to reduce telecommunication expenses due to the growing trend of workforce mobility and budgetary constraints. To reduce equipment implementation, maintenance costs, and expenditure on IT staff training, businesses are rapidly switching to cloud-based UCaaS platforms.

Voice self-service has changed dramatically since voice response units (VRUs) first came on the scene in the early 1980’s. The self-service market has grown and expanded during the past 40 years, and it’s time for organizations to adopt the current generation of solutions as an important step in their digital transformation. The goal today is to provide a personalized and intelligent self-service experience cost effectively. It’s also important to deliver a consistent and high level of customer service regardless of the channel in which customers elect to interact. The most sophisticated self-service is provided by a relatively new IT sector called intelligent virtual agents (IVAs). IVAs use a natural language conversational approach, enhanced by machine learning and intelligent augmentation (IA), to deliver a personalized customer experience in any channel (voice, web, chat, instant messaging (IM)/short message service (SMS), email, etc.). The question is not whether you are ready to migrate from your existing self-service solutions to IVA-supported voice and digital self-service, but how quickly you can effectively adopt the new generation of AI-enabled self-service technology. Read this white paper to see where your organization currently stands in its self-service maturity evolution and the steps needed to make the transition to IVA successful.
