xModular - Eaton’s unique approach to your expanding data centre needs

As organizations shift toward a container-based delivery system for their applications, understanding how to make these containers and the underlying infrastructure more secure is a key priority. Companies are increasingly turning to Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform to deploy and manage their containers, and infrastructure administrators and security professionals must adapt to identify and mitigate threats to this platform and their applications. Red Hat Training has developed a new course, Red Hat Security: Securing containers and OpenShift, to explore implementing and managing security-focused architecture, policies, and procedures for modern containerized applications.

Whether you are considering an expansion of existing facilities, consolidation of multiple data center sites, or an acquisition or divestiture of data center assets, this session will cover some key points to mitigate risk, identify the infrastructure and operational health of assets, management and operations, lifecycle considerations, and the overall resiliency of key data center assets.

It’s been a year since the high-profile ransomware attacks on JBS Foods and Colonial Pipeline, causing enormous disruption to these organizations and the general public.

Every stage of a network’s lifecycle, from planning, rollout, to maintenance and restoration, needs to be built on solid data from multiple dimensions. This includes data not only from the services providers but also from their engineering, construction, and equipment vendors. A “geospatial data model” of the core information is critical to the successful management of assets throughout the “life-of-the-network”. Therefore, all the parties involved in the network lifecycle management should collaborate to acquire and maintain physical network data to build workflows and adopt technology that enables speed and accuracy.
