In this Storage Field Day article, Sulagna Saha discusses DNA Data Storage from the SNIA presentation. Studies have shown that saving data in this new way can prolong its longevity by a wide measure. The recent recovery of DNA information from fossilized remains of animals from prehistoric age, points to how long DNA can preserve information. By contrast, the longest running storage medias can safely store data up to only a couple decades. Is this technology ready to market? It may be closer to hitting the shelves now than it was ten years ago when it first came out, but it may still be some years before companies can replace their servers with this stuff. However, scientists are working at a frantic pace maturing the technology every day, and knocking off the costs to make it a reality in the observable future.

In this exclusive article, Sulagna Saha disusses how Enea’s Qosmos Threat Detection SDK prevent cloaked attacks. Hackers are increasingly resorting to cracking techniques that can replicate the look and feel of permissible traffics and sneak into high-value resources. This is made easier by shadow IT, and the risks of the technological transformation. In their effort to defend networks against spoofing and like threats, organizations need full and complete knowledge of the traffic in the environment. With its deep packet inspection capabilities, Enea Qosmos Threat Detection SDK heralds the arrival of a new breed of IDS solutions that are made-to-order for the complex and vulnerable cloud networks of today.

In this article, Sulagna Saha brings to light Derek Seaman’s article on how InfluxDB’s two approaches to managing data effectively when large amounts of data are involved.

In this article, Sulagna Saha highlights Field Day Delegate Allyson Klein’s MemCon 2023 article from when she sat with Alphawave Semi’s VP of Product Marketing Letizia Gulliano.

In this exclusive article, Sulagna Saha discusses the announcement of Mirantis LensIQ. Mirantis’ launch of Lens AppIQ provides developers with low to no Kubernetes skill a simpler route to accelerate Kubernetes development. With the deep intelligence it provides, achieving application awareness, and subsequently, high-cadence releases is perfectly possible for organizations wooing Kubernetes.

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.

In this exclusive article, Sulagna Saha discusses BeyondTrust and their identity focused security with transparent visibility. More than half of security breaches today are linked to identity issues stemming from low visibility. BeyondTrust Identity Security Insights dials up the clarity by giving IT teams visibility into all trouble spots around identity and access, and help adopt a steely and unified management posture. This is not just better cyber hygiene. It is enforcement of the core tenet of zero-trust – a least-privilege model.

In this Tech Field Day article from VMware Explore 2023, Sulagna Saha discusses AMD’s solution for infrastructure migration. There is more than enough reason for enterprises to modernize legacy infrastructures. With VAMT, now there is a way to tap into the perks of a modern setup without making it a full-time job for the operators, or counting losses through downtimes.
