In this month’s technology opinion leader column from Keysight Technologies, Keith Bromley shares his insights into how an EMA research report has amplified the importance of a network visibility architecture for the hybrid, multi-cloud enterprise.

Network Visibility Architecture for the Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Enterprise
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and continued threat of cyber-attacks has put the IT and security industry on high alert, resulting in many organisations having to push their network infrastructure into the cloud.
This adoption to support remote work has created challenges in seeing security threats and maintaining performance.
As a way to further explore the industry’s response to current visibility initiatives, EMA released a report which investigates how IT and security organisations use network visibility architectures to deliver network packets for critical performance and security, and suggests how organisations should evolve their network visibility architectures as they adopt hybrid, multi-cloud architectures.

The all-flash data storage platform will be announcing at Pure Live Singapore its vision for the future of infrastructure design — a data-centric architecture.
Pure Live Singapore 2018
Pure Live is Pure’s annual customer event for the region where it shares updates on its strategy, product vision, and latest technology innovations.
Pure Live Singapore features keynote speeches by Charlie Giancarlo, Chief Executive Officer, Pure Storage, as well as guest speakers from NVIDIA, Arista, National Supercomputing Center Singapore, and Element AI.
This is the third year Pure is running Pure Live in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ).
The company doubled the number of net new customers over the past 12 months and continues to lead in its industry segments according to Gartner and IDC.
With the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, data has shifted from an informational asset to the core of innovation.
It’s no longer enough to just be data-driven – organisations must be data-centric.
Modern organisations operate in a world of rapidly evolving applications, where future success is predicated on deriving intelligence from data to achieve competitive advantage and growth.

“Recent developments in the built environment sector require a new breed of architectural designers and technologists. We have brought the expertise of two schools – Design and Engineering – together so that the graduates of the new Diploma in Sustainable Architecture & Design can thrive in the future economy. We believe that they will be in great demand in multiple sectors, including architecture, construction, green and smart building development,” said Albert Lim, Director of School of Design, Nanyang Polytechnic.

The built environment in Singapore is expected to evolve rapidly in the next decade with the Committee on the Future Economy (CFE) identifying areas needing innovations and rethinking the way we use resources, energy, spaces and transport.

Amidst the searing heat of the afternoon sun, the mosque offers a cool refuge and respite for worshippers and visitors.

The corridor is still empty, although in an hours’ time, worshippers will arrive for the Friday prayers. Photo taken using a Canon EOS 5Ds and EF 50mm F1.4 USM prime lens. Photo credit: John Tan.

Snapped this photo of the Sports Hub and a lone runner just before the skies opened up and inundated the pitch.

Work-in-progress for the Sports Hub. But more poignantly, it’s also work-in-progress for the runner. In fact, any sports pursuit is in a state of work-in-progress all the time – at any point in time, the sportsman/sportswoman is constantly striving to improve and better the previous achievement, instead of resting on his/her laurels. Photo taken with a Nikon D5200 with NIKKOR 18-55mm kit lens. Photo credit: John Tan.
The Sports Hub is currently being built on the 35 hectare site of the former National Stadium.
It is slated for completion in April 2014 – that’s roughly eight months from now.
