Leading multi-vendor services (MVS) provider for data centers, CDS, recently announced its record YoY growth, a 15% rise in revenue compared to 2021.

With a strong emphasis on boosting efficiency and finding practical, affordable solutions to optimize data centers, CDS has released two key updates to its software platform. First, the Raytrix MVS platform gets the new Enterprise Pricing Module, which enables customers to get faster data center maintenance quotes. The latest update with direct access to the CDS pricing engine enable partners to accelerate revenue opportunities by generating pricing quotes more quickly.

The new Data Center Modernization Assessment Service by CDS helps partners identify opportunities and unlock savings in their existing enterprise systems. Additionally, this service increases its monitoring capabilities and doubled CDS’ capacity to connect with more enterprise storage systems, find possible issues, and fix them before they impact performance.

Daniel Newton, CEO of CDS, said, “Our partner-first approach, coupled with our deep industry expertise, continues to build trust with our OEM partners and their major customers.” He further added, “With economic uncertainty being a top concern for many enterprises today, we’re looking out for their cost and operational efficiencies so they can focus on meeting the needs of their customers. In 2023, CDS is looking to expand our global footprint by increasing recognition of the strategic and cost-effective importance that multi-vendor services can bring to data centers and IT organizations worldwide.”

Styra’s Authorization Policy Tools Speed Up Infrastructure Deployment

Styra | January 23, 2023

Styra, Inc. creates and maintains Open Policy Agents (OPA) and is one of the leading cloud-native authorization firms. The company recently introduced the toolset for infrastructure to its Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) and the industry’s broadest policy library. In addition, Styra offers NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-190 compliant policies within its expanded library that includes hundreds of validated policies to address security concerns associated with the use of containers. Styra speeds up the deployment of secure, compliant cloud-native infrastructure and gives enterprise platform teams the tools they need to deploy resources for distributed developers systematically. This saves time and money while keeping security best practices. To ensure security, compliance, and operational health, platform engineers repeatedly write or customize software that stops developers from making errors, and over time build customized guardrails that automatically impose security rules, compliance regulations, and other operational policies each time a developer makes a change. This effort often includes undifferentiated heavy lifting, which adds complexity, risk and creates a significant barrier to on-time delivery. It is when enterprises cannot afford to choose between security and business time-to-market platform, engineering teams can benefit from policy editing for business users, validate building blocks and policy-as-code guardrails to deliver infrastructure resources without compromising security instead of building them from scratch-in-house. Styra enables infrastructure-managing platform teams to: Eliminate manual policy creation and reduce production risks systematically for infrastructure deployments by utilizing policy templates and editing tools that are simple to deploy. Deploy faster with hundreds of Styra-validated AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes policies for Terraform from the most popular open-source tools and libraries. Easily enforce best practices and compliance for Kubernetes clusters with NIST SP 800-190 compliant policies from Styra, in addition to an extensive collection of Styra validated policies for PCI DSS, MITRE ATT&CK, CIS Benchmarks, and Pod Security Compliance. Enforce policy guardrails on CloudFormation stacks to prevent AWS resource misconfiguration during final resource change checks with the first general-purpose third-party CloudFormation hook from Styra. About Styra Styra Founded in 2019, Styra enables enterprises to enforce, define and monitor policy across their cloud-native environments with the combination of both open source (Open Policy Agent) and commercial solutions (Declarative Authorization Service). The company provides operations, security, and compliance guardrails to safeguard applications, also the infrastructure the company works on. Its policy-as-code solution allows developers, DevOps, and security teams to relieve risks, speed up application development and reduce human error.
