Data Center Summit – Learnings from the Road
Data Center Learnings from the Road
I just got back from our London Data Center Summit. We’ve had multiple data center events now in the U.S. and kicked off the international leg in London last week. At these data center summits, we address the evolution of the data center, data center networking changes and challenges, and finally the implications from a security perspective. I thought it would be interesting to share some of the learnings from the road. What are the top of mind issues from our data center audience?
Enterprises Share More Real-World Examples of Safe Enablement
Last week’s annual RSA Security Conference in San Francisco was an exciting week. There was tremendous buzz and a sense of optimism that permeated the show floor. For us, that sense of optimism was perhaps best expressed through some very poignant examples shared by customers of how their enterprises are successfully implementing strategies to safely and securely enable applications throughout their networks. We heard these stories at our booth, in the hallways and at various networking events throughout the week. We also heard these stories via a customer panel, which I had the honor of moderating. I would like to share some of the highlights from panelists Paul Carugati (Motorola Solutions), Sam Ghelfi (Raymond James Financial), Justin Kwong (24 Hour Fitness), and Mike Wade (Summa Health Systems), in their own words:
The Power of Customers Telling Their Story
Onstage today at the RSA Conference four of our customers agreed to no longer being seen by their co-workers as ‘the stop police’ or ‘yes men.’ They are granting a lot more access than ever before and ironically achieving more control in exchange. These customers say they now have application- and user-based rules that help their respective companies to expressly reap the business benefits of web applications.
