On April Fools' Day, you stay on your guard to avoid being pranked. In IT, you always want to test before releasing something into production to avoid any surprises. That methodology extends into other places, including the US military. Every year, the Navy and Marines conduct experimental training exercises to test field deployment readiness called Trident Warrior. And in even years, Trident Warr...

Did you know that over 3 billion people play video games? That's nearly 50% of the world's population! And if you've ever played a video game (which, statistically, you have), you've probably played something that was built using Perforce, which is *the* source code versioning software that nearly all the major game developers use. With the increase of online gaming and global distribution of game...

If you've ever worked an IT support job and had to do on-call rotations, you probably know how noisy things can get with alerts and events - especially when they get sent to your phone or work device.

Or, do you realize that cyber resiliency is just a way to describe all the best practices we need to use when ensuring data protection, security and recovery in our enterprise IT environments. In this case...

When I was a kid, my room was often a mess. Clothes on the floor, toys everywhere. My mom would try to stay on me to keep it clean, but it was mostly a losing battle for her. What usually inspired me to clean up, however, was when I couldn't find something. Then I knew it was time to take inventory and get a bit more organized (for the time being, at least). Data management isn't much different -...
