Sayers partners with proven technology vendors who are leaders in their markets. Those vendors continue to evolve their offerings to protect organizations from cybersecurity threats and meet the unique infrastructure needs of today’s enterprises. To help you stay on top of those changes, we offer the following technology update on our long-time partner, Palo Alto Networks.

The relentless drumbeat for data protection and data backups leaves organizations wondering if they’re doing everything they can to safeguard their data. The challenge includes protecting customers’ data privacy, adhering to compliance regulations, and recovering organizational data after cyberattacks and natural disasters.

Coronavirus. Alphavirus. Flavivirus. These and other virus families are keeping virologists up at night for their pandemic potential and lack of vaccines or treatments.

READDI, a public-private biotechnology company, uses historical and medical data, analytics and artificial intelligence to identify which virus families are most likely to cause major outbreaks of new viruses and develop new antiviral drugs before they are needed.

Today’s enterprises rely on their networks for operational success, productivity, and resilience. The rise of remote work and data-intensive applications has created an even greater demand for high-speed, secure, and scalable networks from the core to the edge and the cloud.

A leading healthcare technology and services company rewards its top sellers each year with the President’s Club sales incentive trip. Honorees and their plus-one guests enjoy a five-day VIP stay at a world-class resort, complete with bucket-list excursions and immersive experiences.

The prior year’s President’s Club event rewarded honorees with an ideal Caribbean getaway. This year’s 18 top sales performers and their plus-ones deserved something just as unforgettable. How would this healthcare leader meet or top an already high bar?

Where do your employees spend most of their workday? Whether in the office, working remotely, or taking a hybrid approach, your employees spend most of their time working within and through a web browser.

A Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Google found business users were spending 75% of their day working in a web browser, even before the pandemic’s extensive work-from-home initiatives.

Change brings questions, both for the short-term and the future. If you’re one of the more than 400,000 VMware customers, or you’ve been considering a VMware solution for your business, you want to know how Broadcom’s recent $61 billion acquisition of VMware will affect you.

With VMware’s market leadership in virtualization, VMware components are common in today’s data centers to run virtualized workloads.

More than a year ago, Sayers posed the question: Is a full-stack observability solution in your future?

Since then, observability has become a hot topic everywhere from team conference rooms to industry summits. Observability platforms can consolidate monitoring tools, proactively identify issues in your environment, improve uptime, lower the total cost of ownership, and increase visibility for your on-premise infrastructure as well as cloud-native applications and containers.

From the highest landing strip in the Himalayas to the roughest dirt airstrip in hostile terrain, the C-130J Super Hercules goes where other transport aircraft can’t, don’t and won’t go. More than a proven workhorse, this aircraft of choice for 22 nations and 26 operators worldwide is a data-generating machine.

When aerospace company Lockheed Martin began making the C-130J in the late 1990s, a limited number of sensors collected about 30MB of data per flight hour. Today more than 600 sensors per aircraft generate 3GB every hour.

Staying on top of cybersecurity trends once was the job of IT and security teams. Now cybersecurity has captured everyone’s attention up to the executive boardroom.

Board members want to know:

What are you doing to build the company’s business resilience?
How are you prioritizing cybersecurity investments?
By translating risk into a dollar amount (Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ)), how much will it cost or save the company if you do or don’t purchase those solutions?

Today’s IT infrastructure and operations teams are readying for the intersection of multiple technology trends that will impact their ability to deliver scalable, agile, and resilient platforms.

Among those trends discussed at the recent Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations, and Cloud Strategies conference, three stand out:

2024 promises to be another transformative year for technology and trends in the data center, with advancements in storing, processing, managing, and securing data.

Our engineering experts recently shared their data center insights with Sayers employees in an internal information session. Use the following highlights from that panel discussion to stay current on what’s next, including the impact of ransomware and AI on data center strategies.

The COVID pandemic kept the annual Cisco Americas Sales Leadership Offsite (ASLO) on hiatus for three years. A year into her role as Cisco Americas SVP, Rachel Barger knew it was time to bring her executive leadership team together in person.

The post-pandemic ASLO, if done correctly, would clearly establish the direction and tone of her leadership. The ideal event would build critical thinking and collaboration among Americas Sales executives, and create memorable experiences for a geographically dispersed team.
