With low risk virtual server solutions now sitting alongside critical systems in a multi-tenancy environment, the risk profile changes.

Acronis Backup & Recovery® 11.5 Advanced Platform enables backup and disaster recovery in heterogeneous (physical and virtual) Windows® and Linux® environments in one solution.

Fast and intuitive to install and use, you can manage protection of your dynamic IT environment from a single centralised management console and safely migrate critical data across physical, virtual and cloud platforms.

Scalable to hundreds of servers, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Advanced Platform provides you with the support you need today, and the flexibility to expand as your needs evolve.

One Solution, Multiple Possibilities

Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Advanced Platform provides backup and recovery of files, applications, and entire physical or virtual servers with bare-metal recovery support. Built around Acronis’® state-of-the-art imaging technology, it allows you to create image-based backups, or snapshots, of your entire system, including operating system, applications, configuration and data; and recover the image to the same hardware or dissimilar hardware. The same platform enables long-term retention and efficient data recovery through files and applications backup, granular recovery capabilities, catalogue with search, and tape support.

Smart devices and the consumerisation of IT are causing the biggest revolution in the IT arena since the launch of the PC—and virtualisation is the technology that has become the key enabler.

Server farms can be reduced in size, server utilisation rates can be increased, and different operating systems and applications can co-exist without conflict.

Virtualisation requires a different security approach to leverage the full benefits and ensure availability. With low risk virtual server solutions now sitting alongside critical systems in a multi-tenancy environment, the risk profile changes. How do enterprises define security policies when mixed risk models share common hardware?

Even while this challenge is being identified, considered and resolved, the next stage of virtualisation—the cloud—is having a major impact on the IT and security environment.

Cloud computing provides a real opportunity to accelerate innovation and improve business processes, but it can also increase risk in terms of compliance because of the lack of clear, accountable security controls.

Security must therefore work beyond traditional boundaries and impose policies on the parties responsible for the cloud that secure the information flowing between the cloud and the business and extend protection to applications delivered and stored in third party cloud environments.

Make the move to Windows 8 Pro before support for XP ends Meet Windows 8

Insight sells Microsoft® software licences Insight sells Microsoft® software licences

Faster, safer, better. Meet Windows 8 Pro

With improved security, faster speeds, and compatibility with touch, pen, or mouse and keyboard, Windows 8 Pro offers your students and staff a seamless transition between campus and home.

What does XP end of support mean?

Microsoft will be ending support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014, which may result in:

Increased security risks

Without new security updates and support services, your organisation’s PCs are more vulnerable to viruses, malware and other threats that can lead to data loss.

Compatibility issues

By running an older operating system, you might face a lack of software and hardware support from vendors.

Limited productivity

By running an older operating system, your organisation may miss out on the latest software features that are designed to take advantage of Windows 8 Pro’s powerful capabilities.

Why Windows 8?

It goes where you go

Your pictures, files, and settings are easily synced through the cloud, so you can get to what you need almost anywhere.

It plays as hard as it works

Windows 8 gives you the power to quickly browse, watch movies, play games, polish your resume, and pull together a killer presentation—all on a single PC.

You keep all your files

If your PC is running Windows 7, your files, apps, and settings will easily transfer toWindows 8.

You keep familiar programs

Programs that run on Windows 7 will run on Windows 8.

More beautiful, more flexible, more you.

And very, very fast

What’s new

The Start screen

Everything you care about most is on the new Start screen. Tiles on the Start screen are connected to people, apps, folders, photos, or websites, and are alive with the latest info, so you’re up to date at a glance.

Mouse, keyboard—and now touch

Windows 8 is perfect for PCs with only a mouse and keyboard, those with touchscreens, and those with both. Whatever kind of PC you have, you’ll discover fast and fluid ways to switch between apps, move things around, and go smoothly from one place to another.

Apps from the Windows Store

Windows 8 comes with a new store for apps, the Windows Store. Open the Store right from your Start screen to browse and download apps for cooking, photos, sports, news, and a lot more—many of them free.

Your Windows, everywhere

Sign in with your Microsoft account to any of your PCs running Windows 8 and you’ll immediately see your own background, display preferences, and settings.

The familiar made better

The desktop

The desktop that you’re used to—with its taskbar, folders, and icons—is still here and better than ever, with a new taskbar and streamlined file management.

Security

Stay up to date and more secure with Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, and Windows Update.

Speed

Windows 8 starts up faster, switches between apps faster, and uses power more efficiently than Windows 7.

As operations management disciplines converge in the cloud, enterprises need a real-time understanding of how to manage health, capacity and configuration issues and risks. VMware Cloud Management solutions support collaboration between IT infrastructure, applications and operations teams and help enable organisations to proactively ensure quality of service, operational efficiency and continuous compliance.

Embedded, Integrated and Converged Management

VMware enhances the management capabilities already built into vSphere with integrated, automated performance management capabilities from VMware vCenter™ Operations Manager™ Foundation. These new capabilities add health monitoring, self-learning performance analytics, and root-cause analysis and recommendations, as well as proactive smart alerts, to vSphere.

They also provide an easy on-ramp to VMware vCenter™ Operations Management Suite™. Leveraging a converged approach to managing performance, capacity and configuration in highly virtualised and cloud environments, vCenter Operations Management Suite delivers automated operations management for hybrid clouds that can nearly double the cost savings customers receive from vSphere 5.

Analytics-Based Health Management

vCenter Operations Management Suite features patented analytics and a highly automated and integrated approach to performance, capacity and configuration management for a comprehensive view of heterogeneous and hybrid cloud environments.

Organisations can aggregate data from VMware and third-party monitoring systems to improve quality of service and reduce both operational and capital expenses. As enterprises leverage the hybrid cloud, a single “cloud console” dashboard provides complete visibility into the health of workloads running across multiple clouds. A self learning system, vCenter Operations Management Suite leverages dynamic thresholds and proactive smart alerts to notify IT teams about impending performance degradation and other issues so that IT can act before end users are affected. With automated configuration management and auditing of virtual infrastructure and operating systems, organisations can deliver continuous compliance with best practices, security guidelines and regulatory requirements. Additionally, by right-sizing infrastructure resources using automated capacity analysis and “what-if” capacity modeling, IT can ensure optimal resource utilisation.

Improved IT Infrastructure and Operations Team Collaboration

In dynamic IT environments, multiple teams must share data, processes and tools, and management disciplines must be better aligned. VMware helps enterprises improve the effectiveness and efficiency of disparate IT teams and processes. VMware Cloud Management solutions enable IT to gain a holistic view of all infrastructure, increasing collaboration among IT teams with a real-time understanding of how to manage health, capacity and configuration issues and risks. By dramatically simplifying and automating management across the environment, IT teams can be more proactive as they ensure optimal system performance.
