StoneFly releases whitepaper on delivering hybrid cloud backup and archiving with its Smart Cloud Gateway

Organizations are looking for ways to reduce their physical datacenter infrastructure. A great way to start is by moving secondary workloads, such as backup and recovery operations and long-term data retention to the cloud. 

In addition, organizations want to take advantage of the elasticity of cloud architectures and features to manage and use their data in new on-demand ways that traditional datacenter infrastructures can not support.

The StoneFly Smart Cloud Gateway provides a performance optimized connection with management services to bridge data between private datacenters and the cloud. The Smart Cloud Gateway can enable hybrid IT architectures for cloud migration, cloud tiering and hybrid cloud backup. 

StoneFly cloud storage gateway solutions automatically move cold data (least used and old Files) to any S3 Compatible cloud or local archive appliance and move the most active data to high-performance drives, allowing businesses to enjoy exceptional application performance and lower TCO of storage at the same time.

The Smart cloud storage gateway can be configured as AWS Storage Gateway, Azure Storage Gateway, StoneFly Private Cloud Storage Gateway; and Cloud Storage Gateway to any other S3 Compatible Cloud.

Using a data management console that can be accessed from anywhere, the Smart Cloud Gateway also provides advanced features such as cross-region replication, encryption, scale out and snapshots.

Navigant whitepaper throws light on industry transformation for integrated, value-generating resources

In an era of energy and digital transformation, the economics of building ownership are changing. According to a new whitepaper from the global energy practice of Navigant, a Guidehouse company, energy, technology, and service providers must innovate in the buildings sector or risk major disruption to their businesses.

Building-to-Grid (B2G) is one of seven emerging energy platforms identified in Navigant’s Energy Cloud 4.0 vision of a more sustainable, highly digitized, and dynamic energy system. Navigant predicts an increase in energy-related transactions that will be initiated within and delivered through customer-centric platforms like B2G made possible by digital, future-ready buildings.

  

The leap from intelligent buildings to B2G will require significant market shifts across five core industry dimensions—customers, policy and regulation, technology, business models, and operations. 

To avoid major disruption, the paper advises that stakeholders should prioritize thinking beyond the building envelope and investing in a B2G market entry strategy today — build, buy, or partner to bolster and expand legacy capabilities.

It also engages with early adopters to demonstrate B2G potential with real-life case studies that demonstrate the technical benefits and specific ROI tied to financial business models, and focuses on market education and outreach on the business benefits of B2G enabling technologies to create the business case customers need to begin the journey.

Neptune Systems identifies why SAP On-Premise Systems is a better choice in long-run

Medium-sized companies often use different software for different tasks, with isolated solutions at times having their disadvantages. Integrated standard software such as SAP is a better choice in the long run, but companies do not necessarily have to go all-in on the cloud right-away. Established SAP On-Premise Systems, hastily condemned as ‘Legacy Systems’ in the course of ‘S/4HANA in the Cloud’, celebrate their second spring or a second coming if users will.

SAP has become successful due to is globally reaching standard software. However, the challenge for many companies arises when they deviate greatly from this standard over the years, as their on-premise systems are deeply embedded in value-adding business processes and ensures stability and transparency at the expense of complexity. 

In this whitepaper, Neptune Software covers the three reasons why SAP On-Premise systems still have a lot of power left to give -- business processes, ABAP, and Fiori UX.
