One thing I’ve always loved about the Scooby-Doo cartoon is that he never solved a mystery alone. Scooby and Shaggy could sniff out a clue between snacks, but it always took the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang to crack the mystery. Velma helped with her ...

Reposted: When Blocking onmicrosoft.com Make An Exception For Microsoft

A while back, I blogged about blocking everything from onmicrosoft.com email addresses. There should be one exception to that general rule: you should make an exception for microsoft.onmicrosoft.com when you do that. The reason for this is that some official Microsoft systems, for example, the Micro...

Is Security Better in the Cloud or On-Prem?

The biggest thing to remember about security between the cloud and on-premises environments isn’t that one is better than the other. They are simply different. In an on-premises environment you have the option to put a physical firewall appliance in front of the network and it physically sites between the internet and the internal environment. In the cloud you have this same option, it just isn’t a physical appliance, it is a virtual appliance and you then configure all data connections to route though that virtual appliance. You even have additional options that you wouldn’t have with a physical appliance, namely the ability to scale the appliance up as the workload increases. With a physical appliance you would have to purchase the bigger size appliance and put it into place ahead of the growth curve.

But there is also great potential to create opportunities and efficiencies that may not be achieved without AI. To help y...

National Data Center (NDC) is a non-profit that provides a cost-effective method to manage Chapter 13 bankruptcy claims through the intelligent use of data. In order to provide top-tired services to their customers they wanted to modernize their IT systems. As part of their IT modernization, they wanted to move from a facility where they were renting physical servers and virtual machines to a cloud platform where they could utilize a combination of Infrastructure as a Server (IaaS) and Platform and a Service (PaaS) offering.

As part of their modernization process, DCAC moved NDC to Microsoft Azure using the IaaS virtual machines where it made sense to have virtual machines and PaaS where it made sense to taking the virtual machine management away from their team. The entire migration cutover was done in less than a day with just a small downtime window needed for the final cutover.

Read more about the migration that NDC did moving to Microsoft Azure by reading the case study below.
