Azure offers a robust set of networking services and tools. Connectivity options allow linking your datacenter, other Cloud environments, or remote users to Cloud resources. There are also a variety of services and tools that allow you to inspect, direct, and troubleshoot traffic. This article focuses exclusively on Azure resources and offerings, and how they connect with both physical and Cloud environments. Windows Firewall, third party VPN clients, and OS level route tables are not covered as these elements are not unique to the Azure experience. Connecting existing environments to the Cloud is almost always the first step in a new deployment. This is so foundational that we automatically deploy a VPN Gateway with all new deployments as standard practice. All VPNs we configure are IKEv2 IPSec. These provide route-based, Site-to-Site tunneling capability and Point-to-Site connectivity through the installation of an Azure VPN client on individual systems. Policy based VPNs […]

A National Concern United States Attorney William P. Barr recently stated that crimes against the elderly target some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Because of their stage in life, they don’t have the opportunity frequently to recover, and the losses are devastating to them. Whether as the result of isolation, diminished cognition, financial insecurity, trusting too much, being ashamed to report being scammed or concerned about how relatives will react, serious concern for health or other causes, many of these crimes go unreported. The more we learn about elderly fraud and abuse, the better we are at protecting ourselves, our families and friends, and helping first responders and the FBI succeed in their efforts to counter this type of crime. According to research by the Stanford Center on Longevity and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s Investor Education Foundation, those over the age of 65 are more likely […]

Azure is an exciting opportunity for businesses of all sizes to move resource hosting out of the datacenter and into the cloud. Hosting in Azure removes the need for businesses to purchase, host, and maintain physical resources. Comparing physical systems to Azure pricing in a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) context helps evaluate the cost benefit of hosting in Azure. Insight to managing Azure utilization helps businesses find cost savings beyond traditional resource allocation. Many businesses initially compare Azure estimated monthly spend to the cost of purchasing equipment. This can be a fine starting point but doesn’t provide a complete picture. Hosting physical resources requires labor, real estate, power, cooling, and maintenance. These costs must be considered when analyzing TCO. Physical hardware, and the systems running on them, require people to manage those assets, and managers to manage those people. From setup to break-fix to maintenance, physical systems need people […]
