NEC - IaaS     No one likes infrastructure upgrades. Replacing new hardware is a costly, never-ending battle. But software upgrades, especially major ones, can entail even lengthier and more expensive projects. When it comes to dealing with today’s massive volumes of data—processing it, analyzing it and reporting on it— well not upgrading can be even more expensive. Often software upgrades introduce major changes. Whether by choice or due to changing technology, these changes affect not only existing features, but also the underlying data structures and platform. And almost certainly, the added features require newer, more efficient server hardware, memory and storage. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Mike Mitsch to gain NEC's perspective on Infrastructure as a Service. Mike is the Managing Director of Infrastructure as a Service at NEC Corporation of America. 25 Minutes Software AG - GDPR Compliance     Enterprises are facing challenges in meeting the impending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  Starting on May 25, 2018, this European Union (EU) GDPR regulation mandates that all companies and institutions are legally bound to rules aimed at protecting personal data and for upholding the data privacy rights of individuals residing in the EU. The immense data stores, networked systems, business ecosystems and technologies that enable companies to serve their markets and customers, hold a vast amount of information that needs to be reined in. Few companies have the required oversight across their distributed data and processing activities and the insight into precisely what kind of data they house to be able to comply with GDPR rules. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Dr. Ulrich Kalex to gain Software AG's perspective on GDPR compliance. Ulrich is a Senior VP Product Management and R&D for Software AG. Ulrich is a Senior VP Product Management and R&D for Software AG..  35 Minutes IRI - Big Data Manipulation     Covering the topic of big data manipulation would not be complete without the perspective of IRI, The CoSort Company. Founded 40 years ago in 1978 to move mainframe sort users into open systems, IRI helped put on the map. Its CoSort utility is also widely used in data warehousing, database load acceleration, and data wrangling for analytics. CoSort’s expanding manipulation functions spawned compatible data migration, data masking, and test data products, and a modern data management platform called Voracity. IRI Vice President David Friedland has joined us for our interview on a topic central to us and the company, and we’re pleased to have him back on Outlook Series. 39 Minutes IRI - Data Masking     We talk to David Friedland, the VP of Business Development at IRI. Short for Innovative Routines International, IRI is a data management ISV founded 40 years ago (in 1978) with its headquarters in Melbourne, Florida and support offices in more than 40 cities worldwide. IRI has been best known for its CoSort big data manipulation software, but more recently has been making its bones in the data protection market with its data masking product FieldShield, as well as a larger data lifecycle management platform that includes FieldShield, called Voracity. For the last 10 years, IRI’s ability to find and mask data in a fast, targeted way has earned it mentions or awards from the The Privacy and Data Security Law Journal and trade publications like CIO Applications, CIO Review, Computerworld, Corporate Vision, and DBTA Magazine, plus Research and Markets, Gartner, and The Bloor Group. 37 Minutes Heartland Secure     When your payment data is vulnerable, it’s like leaving the front door of your property unlocked. Thieves can come in, take what they want, and leave you economically and emotionally stressed. But unlike physical theft, cyber thieves are not just stealing from you—they are stealing from your customers, too. And this means your business's reputation can be ruined overnight, especially if the data theft incident makes the morning news. What’s more, due to standards set by the PCI Security Standards Council to prevent data theft, if cardholder data from your business is compromised and you’re caught in noncompliance, not only do you have to explain to your customers why you failed to secure their sensitive information, but also deal with sizable fines and penalties imposed by the card brands. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Bob Carr to gain Heartland Payment Systems' perspective on Credit/Debit Card Data Security. Bob Carr is the CEO at Heartland Payment Systems.  28 Minutes Micro Focus - DevOps     Software has become the most important tool for businesses to find, capture, and retain customers. Unlike a physical product, software can be changed quickly and often—and today, that’s exactly what customers expect. They can easily defect to a competitor offering a handy new feature—right after they leave a negative review about your company that could tarnish your reputation and drive away other potential users. Savvy businesses are using the rapid pace and malleability of software to drive more and more differentiation into the marketplace. They’re using instant feedback from users to continuously improve software. And increasingly, they’re doing this through DevOps. By ensuring close collaboration between developers and operations staff throughout the entire software development lifecycle, enterprises are becoming better at ensuring quality, maximizing speed, and reacting to—or even forecasting—market changes. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Ashish Kuthiala and Rafael Garcia to gain their perspectives on DevOps.Ashish is the Sr. Director of Marketing and Strategy at HPE DevOps and Rafael Garcia is the Director of R&D IT at HPE. 40 Minutes IoT Enhances Retail     More and more retailers are adopting the Internet of Things.

Technology mangers need to extend their app reach to businesses, educational institutions and other organizations. Leveraging a store that works with line-of-business apps provides a competitive edge. LOB apps are custom to your company – they might be internal business apps, or apps specific to your business or industry. Developers should select a solution that provides an audience of large enterprises that can buy in bulk. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Jan Kalis to gain Microsoft's perspective on the Windows Store for Business. Jan is the Senior Product and Marketing Manager for the Windows Store for Business. 23 Minutes Informatica Data intelligence     Organizations use data to grow by gathering insights and mitigating risks. And, Hadoop has emerged as a scalable and efficient data platform for delivering big data analytics. But with the growing volume, variety, and velocity of data, organizations are struggling to effectively put their data to work. Now, traditional data management platforms can be expensive and challenging to scale to meet modern data needs. So, to gain an edge, look for a modern data management platform that enables quick use of more data sources and eliminates the risk of data issues in your big data analytics environment. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Murthy Mathiprakasam to gain Informatica's' perspective on Big Data Management. Murthy is a Principal Product Marketing Manager for Informatica's Big Data products. 21 Minutes Encryption in the Cloud   The cloud represents a major change in the business model for IT delivery. Cloud benefits promise to be quite significant: for cloud customers, cost savings, and greater agility through on-demand capacity; for cloud providers, recurring revenues, global markets and attractive profits—if they can differentiate their services and innovate to keep ahead. Many organizations have already moved mundane activities and low-risk data to the cloud. Theoretically, of course, any process that runs elsewhere can run in the cloud. Businesses and governments are certainly attracted to the idea that they could achieve even greater savings were they to use the cloud for storage and processing of their more sensitive data. After all, sensitive business processes are likely to be the most expensive from an operational perspective and so this is where they have the most to gain. The big question, though, is how secure is the cloud and when is it safe to move more sensitive operations there? Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Richard Moulds to gain Thales e-Security's perspective on cloud security. Richard is a a vice president of strategy with Thales e-Security. 38 Minutes Greater Enterprise Value with GRC     Technologies implemented to meet operational needs bring tangible benefits to an organization with focused, tactical functions. These tools bring value to organizations due to the focus on the specific business challenge at hand and most often help achieve goals at the operations level. However, certain processes need to lead to greater enterprise value. Enterprise GRC programs should look for opportunities to remove Value Ceilings as much as possible to optimize business. While removing a Value Ceiling may require some work, the end result is increased value to the organization. In some cases, organizations will have to bore holes into that ceiling to get glimpses between the layers of their organization. In other cases, the ceiling can be removed completely and processes can continue up to the next higher level. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Steve Schlarman to gain RSA's perspective on Governance, Risk & Compliance. Steve is a GRC Strategist of IT and Security at RSA, The Security Division of EMC. 36 Minutes Hightail File Sync & Share     The digital age promises businesses that there’s a better way to work. But in reality, the flood of new devices and apps that allow people to work however, whenever and wherever they want, often creates more problems. From users wanting to securely access and share files from anywhere, to IT departments needing to ensure confidential data isn’t exposed by the use of vulnerable consumer products, companies need a comprehensive file sharing solution that doesn’t devalue existing investments. Businesses need to overcome the file size, ease-of-use and mobile access limitations of email and FTP with a complete file sharing service that helps users work more effectively, while keeping IT happy. To gain a competitive edge, select a solution with enterprise-grade encryption and comprehensive controls that seamlessly integrates with existing user applications and IT systems. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Thyaga Vasudevan to gain Hightail's perspective on file sync & share. Thyaga is a Senior Director of Product Management with Hightail.  26 Minutes Application Fluent Unified Access   A decade ago, mobility for enterprise networks was viewed as a convenience, a way to provide those employees fortunate enough to have laptops with some ability to move about their workplace while remaining connected to the network. Today, however, wireless local-area networks (WLANs) have become mission-critical and enabling mobility has become vital to the enterprise. And with good reason: studies have shown that mobility-enabled workers are more productive, help to increase profits and are happier employees. What’s more, the definition of what constitutes a workplace has undergone a shift in recent years, as working from home becomes more common to both give employees more flexibility and to reduce corporate space requirements and their associated expense. The definition of enterprise mobility has also grown to reflect its importance. Beyond creating campus-wide Wi-Fi access, enabling a mobile enterprise means providing ubiquitous connectivity and simple access: employees – or any user in the network – are provided with quality access to whatever applications they need, anywhere, anytime, on any device. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Heitor Faroni and Joseph Raccuglia to gain Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's perspective on Unified Access. Heitor is a Director of Solutions Marketing and Joseph is a Senior Director of Solutions Marketing both are at the Network Division of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. 28 Minutes Application Fluent Unified Access   A decade ago, mobility for enterprise networks was viewed as a convenience, a way to provide those employees fortunate enough to have laptops with some ability to move about their workplace while remaining connected to the network.

This infrastructure will allow applications and the physical network to collaborate, thereby providing a high quality experience for users and enabling optimization of resources. The ideal solution should follow a SDN approach. This will allow it to bridge the gap between the network world and the newly virtualized compute world by defining a framework that uses standardized interfaces between applications and networks. Likewise, it should be flexible enough to leverage multiple methods, including OpenFlow, to provide direct access to all virtual and physical objects in the data center and enable manipulation of the forwarding plane of physical and virtual network devices, such as switches and routers. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Khurram Khawaja to gain Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's perspective on SDN. Khurram Khawaja is a Director Product Management for the Data Center Product Portfolio at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. 30 Minutes Virtual WLAN Controllers   A massive spike in BYOD, mobile users and new enterprise application deployments has created network congestion and  complexity. These trends have severely restricted IT's ability to quickly respond and maintain network reliability. To meet this challenge forward thinking organizations are leveraging Virtual WLAN Controllers that enable cost-effective, flexible, reliable wireless deployments that help address BYOD and provide seamless integration of wired and wireless networks. To gain a competitive edge, look for a Virtual WLAN solution that provides controller clustering, in-service software upgrades, self-organizing adds, moves and changes, and local switching across the portfolio. Top solutions in this space do not require enterprises to have multiple islands of networks within their infrastructure and can instead have a common, unified end-to-end network for user access -- whether it's wired or wireless. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Tina Herrera to gain Juniper Networks' perspective on Virtual WLAN Controllers. Tina is a Director Enterprise Access Marketing at Juniper Networks. 22 Minutes Application Virtualization     Today’s organizations need powerful, flexible solutions to manage the devices and applications employees use every day. To meet this challenge, organizations are leveraging virtualization, management and security technologies to optimize their desktops. Application Virtualization is key to transforming applications into centrally managed services that are never installed and don’t conflict with other applications. IT professionals and end-users alike face challenges in today’s work environment. End-users speak many languages, are geographically dispersed and may not be connected to corporate networks at all times. IT must meet the needs of these users, and provide solutions that are fast, flexible and reliable. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Ronald Dockery and Matthijs Gates to gain Microsoft's perspective on Application Virtualization. Ronald is a Senior Product Manager and Matthijs is a Senior Program Manager, both are with Microsoft.  29 Minutes Application Virtualization     Today’s organizations need powerful, flexible solutions to manage the devices and applications employees use every day.

Most bring along their own personal shopping assistant – a smartphone or other wireless device. While your customers use their favorite digital gear to learn more about your products, compare offers or check reviews, you could be learning how to engage them in new ways. Now, that would make their experience inside your store something worth coming back for. Access to your wireless network is the key. But you need to offer it without overwhelming your IT resources, compromising your network security or risking non‑compliance with regulatory responsibilities. We interview Sameer Kanagala to gain Motorola's perspective on Secure Access for the bring your own device trend. Sameer Kanagala is a market development and solutions executive for the Wireless LAN Division at Motorola Solutions.  31 Minutes Cloud Based Identity Management   As companies continue to increase their usage of the cloud, and as the extended workforce expands, the importance of controlling who has access to what systems and how access is granted is imperative. It is important to have one single source of security for all information, applications and systems required by the organization’s extended workforce and supply chain. One source of security helps each organization in its effort to provision and de-provision users from various internal and external applications in an expedient manner to minimize risk. Companies have said that this is beneficial for high investment joint ventures. At the same time, organizations need to consider internal policies and external regulatory compliance issues and how they impact access to information and systems. We interview Dave Miller to gain Covisint's perspective on Cloud-based ID Management. Dave is the CSO of Covisint. 42 Minutes Recovery Based Pricing   Across the technology spectrum, more vendors are moving away from established pricing models to alternatives based on performance and overall value. The backup and recovery market is now entering a new era to address the industry value proposition on data recovery…not backup. The Recovery License Model introduces a clear pricing differentiator based on recovery that provides both immediate and long-term value to the customer on a significant scale. So, to gain a competitive edge, select a cloud storage pricing model that does not makes it hard to predict the price you are actually signing up for. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Eran Farajun to gain Asigra's perspective on cloud storage pricing models. Eran is an Executive Vice President with Asigra. 30 Minutes High Performance WLAN   Mobile device proliferation and the increasing use of video and remote collaboration are opening up opportunities for enterprises. Unfortunately, these opportunities also come at a time of an increasing demand for ubiquitous, always-on wireless service for mobile devices. Fortunately, comprehensive WLAN solutions can offer measurable advantages in provisioning, security, performance, reliability and management to address these new realities. To gain an edge, look for a solution that provides an advanced architecture that is designed specifically for mobility. Top solutions deliver high performance through a highly distributed, intelligent architecture that allows offloading of encryption, packet inspection and packet forwarding from centralized controllers to the access points. We interview Tina Herrera to gain Juniper Networks' perspective on Enterprise WLAN. Tina is a Senior Manager of Product Marketing at Juniper Networks. 24 Minutes Bonjour Networking   Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the cosumerization of IT are a trend that is changing network architectures in almost every enterprise. With the increasing prevalence of Apple devices on both enterprise and education networks, it is necessary for the network infrastructure to be natively aware of Bonjour, Apple’s service advertisement and configuration technology. Bonjour (or Zero-Configuration Networking) is used to configure services like printing, file services, and remote display with Apple TV. So, to gain a competitive edge, services such as AirPrint and AirPlay need to be usable across large, multi-subnet networks regardless of the underlying topology. We interview Abby Strong to gain Aerohive Networks' perspective on Bonjour Networking. Abby is the director of Product Marketing at Aerohive Networks. 14 Minutes Cloud Performance   As the industry shifts from the “PC Era” to the “Cloud Era”, the role of IT is rapidly outgrowing its ability to own and manage all its own apps, infrastructure and devices. Consumerization is driving IT to deliver a mix of applications to a variety of user-owned devices. At the same time, IT is under going pressure to take advantage of increasingly ubiquitous and low-cost cloud computing capacity from external cloud and hosting providers. Until now, those goals have been difficult to achieve without compromising performance. We interview Greg Smith to gain Citrix's perspective on Cloud Performance. Greg is the Sr. Technical Marketing Director at Citrix Systems Cloud Networking Group. 28 Minutes Wireless Fidelity   Wi-Fi networks are getting faster and smarter, but Wi-Fi administrators are still hampered by having minimal visibility into how well they are actually delivering what their users expect. Administrators don't typically have visibility into the performance level being provided to the Wi-Fi clients by the infrastructure, and their infrastructure only has limited ability to dynamically adjust to deliver the experience their users are demanding. Today's Wi-Fi administrators can only hope their clients are getting the planned level of performance – and that isn't good enough. So, to gain a competitive edge, look for a solution that leverages the ability to set SLA parameters per user group, to monitor SLA statistics in real-time  and to take significant corrective action when and where needed. We interview Joel Vincent to gain Aerohive Networks' perspective on wireless fidelity. Joel is the director of Product Marketing at Aerohive Networks. 33 Minutes Cloud Networking   Leveraging the lessons learned by the companies that pioneered SaaS, and understanding the multi-tenant architecture that underlies successful SaaS offerings, can help professionals make informed decisions when evaluating cloud-based networking solutions based on a single-tenant, virtualized-tenant, and multi-tenant architecture. With single tenancy, vendors provide a single physical infrastructure, database and application stack per customer. With virtualized-tenancy architectures physical infrastructure may be shared but the vendor still provides a single database and application instance per customer. Multi-tenancy is a truly shared model, with a single infrastructure, database and application stack utilized by all customers. We interview Steve Woo to gain Aerohive Networks' perspective on Cloud Networking. Steve is a Senior Director of Product Management at Aerohive Networks. 32 Minutes Controller-less Wi-Fi   Wi-Fi is going through a fundamental and generational change. Enterprises want the mobility and productivity of Wi-Fi with the scale, performance, resilience, and ubiquity of the Internet. You shouldn't have to 'make-do-and mend' your wireless infrastructures; nor do you have to invest in 'odds on' systems just to get what you need. But, controller-based WLANs were designed for an era when there was insufficient processing power in Access Points to distribute intelligence. The controller-less approach distributes all control functions and data forwarding to smart APs. This is similar to how routers in the Internet function. So, to simplify cloud based Wi-Fi, more and more organizations are choosing to leverage a controller-less wireless LAN. We interview Devin Akin to gain Aerohive Networks' perspective on Enterprise Wi-Fi. Devin is the Chief Wi-Fi Architect at Aerohive Networks. 29 Minutes Junos Pulse Mobile Security   For IT departments, mobile devices represent a new and vulnerable endpoint for threats distributed via email, text messaging, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and application downloads. Even worse, business data is at risk every time a device is lost or stolen. So, while smartphones help improve employees’ productivity, unprotected devices can mean loss or theft of valuable, confidential data and cause noncompliance with regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). To meet the challenge, you need to leverage a Mobile Security Suite that offers enterprises and consumers a wide range of security features to protect various mobile devices. We interview Rich Campagna to gain Juniper Networks' perspective on the Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite. Rich is a Director of Product Management in Juniper Networks Access & Acceleration Business Unit. 27 Minutes Data Loss Prevention   Protecting sensitive information as it transforms and moves across the globe is mission critical to today's multinational enterprises. That collaboration and support for mobile devices provides easier access and broader sharing of enterprise information. Keeping sensitive data well-protected requires preventing data loss where end-users collaborate, such as file shares, email and the Web. To meet this challenge, you need security solutions that can help manage information risk by proactively locating and controlling sensitive information as it moves through the IT environment. Specifically, you need better visibility into high areas of risk, and help improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your ongoing security operations. We interview Sam Curry to gain EMC's perspective on Data Loss Prevention. Sam is Chief Technologist of RSA which is the security division of EMC.  23 Minutes
