March 29, 2012 09:00 AM
As data continues to grow in terabytes in the enterprise, classifying it based on its sensitivity has never been more important. According to a just-released InformationWeek report, 10 Steps to Effective Data Classification, an organizational classification program defines policy requirements; specific classifications, generally as “secret,” “private,” “confidential” and “public,” and their associated data types; processes and procedures; accountability metrics; and repercussions from not following the rules, according to author Erik Bataller, a senior consultant with information security consultancy Neohapsis.Networking In The Cloud
March 22, 2012 09:30 AM
In discussing network design with my clients, I talk about how routers, firewalls and other network gear can be interconnected to provide a scalable and redundant IP network. These foundations of network design apply to networks composed of tangible components or the virtualized infrastructure that extends corporate data centers to the cloud.

March 06, 2012 01:00 PM
While the federal government has mandated that nearly 40% (more than 800) of its data centers be consolidated by 2015, the results of at least two recent studies indicate several concerns about the implications of the consolidation. According to the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI), federal government data centers quadrupled between 1998 and 2010, from 432 to 2,094, and, on average, they have been using only 27% of their computing power. As a result, federal CIOs are looking to consolidate effectively without compromising data center management by embracing server virtualization, shifting to a "cloud-first" policy and through modular computing.Proofpoint Extends Data Protection To Box File-Sharing Cloud
