Public sector leaders are seeking to drive efficiency across their organizations—and those responsible for technology implementation and management are focused on maximizing available resources, from funding, to human capital, to IT infrastructures. Successful technologies are mission-driven, trusted, and integrated with agency policies, and they can evolve to incorporate innovation and best practices. With a focus on supporting effectiv...

Over the last decade, technological advancements have minimized the need for employees to be as physically present in a traditional office setting. The nature of actual workspaces has shifted away from four walls towards the highly mobile, extremely connected workplace. Federal agencies are now faced with the challenge of giving authorized users anytime access to sensitive data without compromising vital information, core applications, or prot...

Many organizations store vast amounts of data in Hadoop. Yet trying to get value and insights out of this data has proven a challenge. Register for this webcast and see a live demo of how Splunk software makes raw unstructured data in Hadoop accessible, usable, and valuable. Hunk™: Splunk Analytics for Hadoop enables you to detect patterns and find anomalies across terabytes, petabytes, or more of raw data in Hadoop without specialized s...

Big Data can provide tremendous insight and value to an agency. A properly architected Big Data cluster can provide disruptive and important knowledge to agency personnel and customers. However, applying legacy architectural principles with massive oversubscription and minimal buffering will degrade the overall Big Data cluster and reduce its effectiveness. Join us for a complimentary webcast as we discuss the best practices and optimization t...

Intelligence organizations across the Government must build the capacity to harness information being generated and collected at an alarming rate. Dramatic advances in IMINT and Open Source Intelligence alone are providing an unprecedented volume of data. Large data sets lead to more reliable information and intelligence, but the volume of unstructured data requires sophisticated capabilities in order to provide any actionable use. DSI's Big D...

How you manage the access and analysis of your logs, as well as other machine data, can affect the speed you are able to search and analyze this data to troubleshoot issues and investigate security threats.Register now to learn why more than 6,000 organizations, including hundreds of government agencies, use Splunk to better manage their datacenters, achieve higher availability, investigate security incidents faster, and meet compliance requir...

Consolidation of servers and data centers has led to incredible concentration of privileged access and management power. Protecting your organization’s intellectual property and sensitive data assets has become increasingly more difficult because of the added risks associated with virtual and cloud environments due to hidden trust assumptions. The Zero Trust model of information security banishes the old security motto of "trust but veri...

Big Data is becoming a reality for most federal agencies and industry partners dealing with the ISR, Command and Control (C2), and ground processing (cloud - analytics) associated with the massive volumes, varieties, and velocities of data collected from a growing number of surveillance and sensors. Cyber security increasingly ranks as #1 or near the very top of federal government leaders' interests and priorities…from warfighters and s...

Maintaining the perfect mix of server, storage, and application resources using traditional datacenter infrastructures is tough. Convergence and virtualization are driving forces in today's data centers. However, success is largely dependent upon an organization’s ability to scale in an elegant manner while maintaining an accurate picture of how the network is reacting to the changes. Using the proven design principles of companies like...
