There is a lot of confusion around the internet of things and what it is or isn’t. We know about talking refrigerators and programmable toasters, but IoT is much more than that. What is IoT exactly? Is IoT at the edge? Is it the cloud? Is it the data center? Is it all of the above? Tune in to this episode of Arrow Bandwidth to hear Davitt Potter and guest speakers Nik Sanchez and Kirk Bohn answer all of these questions and demystify what IoT is and how to get started in this space. GUEST SPEAKERS: Davitt Potter Global Practice Leader, Arrow Davitt Potter's early real-world education began at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where he was a field engineer, systems architect and security/infrastructure consultant. Potter joined Arrow in 2010 and currently leads the two of our global practice areas, assisting with global go-to-market strategies, emerging technology incubation, CTO/CISO consulting, and helping customers and their end-users with IT strategy planning and management.

IoT presents a huge opportunity for partners to drive real value for their customers. It offers great potential to transform the way businesses operate, delivering invaluable data insights from objects which have been previously uncommunicative by connecting systems, refining and analysing the data and enabling businesses to make well informed, data-driven decisions.

In the world of cloud, it isn’t enough anymore to just be “secure.” Nextgen cloud security is the future of cloud security. But what does it mean to be “nextgen?" How does next nextgen cloud security work? Why is it important? Where do you get it from and how do you deploy it? Davitt Potter sits down with Arrow guests Nicole Schiro and Matt Rohan to answer all of these questions and more on this episode of Arrow Bandwidth.

Security has never been more important to businesses. Businesses are experiencing more frequent and intense attacks, with different motivations and using unpredictable, irregular methods. In addition, there have been huge advances in the use of digital services across every aspect of life. This presents partners with a huge opportunity to work with customers to protect their most valuable asset and position themselves as trusted partners.

In this Episode David Fearne discusses deep secures cloud offerings with Chris Alton Arrow's UK Cloud leader and a returning favourite Nathan Giles from Deep Secure

Serverless, software-defined, containerised and cloud-native are all technologies that are associated with the next-generation data centre, but how can partners differentiate between hype and reality and understand how to move customers to next generation technology?

Today’s digital businesses rely on data being relevant, immediately accessible, accurate and impactful. However, data continues to grow in variety, volume and velocity and comes in structured and mostly unstructured formats. How can partners help customers to modernise their data strategy to cope with these pressures?

Cloud adoption is growing rapidly, with most customers using two or more cloud services. There is a huge opportunity for partners to provide public cloud services from the leading vendors, to build their own cloud offerings, to offer services that integrate with or wrap around other cloud services or to provide a mix of all of these.

Why is IoT security such a thorny topic? To be frank, it’s because it doesn’t comprehensively exist – it’s too much of an afterthought. Everyone says, “We have IoT security” …until things gets a little more complex. How are you going to protect something that’s in someone’s house if it’s connected to their WiFi network? What kind of device behavior do you want to keep an eye on? You can secure these things all the way to the edge, but how? And how can we bring new and emerging tech into the enterprise? We answer these questions and more in this special edition of Arrow Bandwidth live from the Arrow Vision event held on May 8, 2019, in London.

In this technical deep dive, Christoph Wertz, System Engineer from Cloudera – Arrow’s newly signed supplier partner – discusses the history of Big Data, what solutions were originally implemented to manage it, and how Cloudera has stepped in and created a platform that collocates data, transforms it, and drives value. Originally, managing data was very batch oriented; but the present and the future need is near-real-time streaming with machine learning and predictive analytics. Simply stated, Cloudera can collect data from disparate data sources, both structured and unstructured, into their single platform and then they simply sort it all out at a much lower cost than other suppliers. Listen to this podcast where we delve into the details of Cloudera’s offering and why their motto is: From the Edge to AI. SPEAKERS Christoph Wertz – Guest Speaker Cloudera Systems Engineer Christoph has been with Cloudera for over three years in a variety of data management roles. He is an experienced solutions architect and

IoT is on everyone’s mind right now – it’s the “buzz du jour.” IoT is sometimes perceived as just sensors, analytics and connecting things, but its value lies in answering WHY we are connecting these things or devices – more specifically, what are we going to do with the data that we extract from them? In this podcast, our experts explore how to turn IoT data into a good business outcome, failed versus successful IoT projects and much more!

Over the past several years, the definition of “Data Center” has evolved from four walls with racks of servers… to hosted data centers… to managed services… to the cloud. Today, a data center is defined as basically everything that makes up your customer’s world – data, servers, cloud, services, security – fundamentally every part of their business. But if data centers include everything, how do you put together all the parts and pieces to support your customer? In this candid discussion, our guest speaker Travis Lawrence discusses the steps you need to take in integrating data center solutions for your customers and creating the best platforms for their success. SPEAKERS Travis Lawrence – Guest Speaker Arrow Practice Lead, Next Generation Infrastructure Travis is a technology leader with over 17 years' experience solving business problems with simple and effective technology solutions. His background includes systems administration, technical sales and engineering. Travis’s proficiencies span the cloud, a

In the past, security focused on gateways. Now, tactics have evolved and visibility is needed around multiple parts of the network. Because of this, many questions are arising around security – some people may even be wondering, what exactly IS security? It’s tough when you don’t already have a security practice but realize the need for it. If you do have a security practice, what holes might there be? During this Arrow Bandwidth podcast, you’ll learn tips for getting started in security, challenges that come with it, current trends surrounding it and more.
