EDITOR ’ S NOTE

Welcome to September ’ s edition of Intelligent CIO Europe . This month , our cover story comes from Calligo , a global cloud service provider , as we learn how it utilised Cloudian ’ s HyperStore solution to better improve its operational ability .

Cloud technology is extremely on-trend and has organisations relying on it religiously . It is therefore imperative that companies deploy a cloud solution they know they can count on to protect and store their data . Julian Box , Chief Executive Officer at Calligo , tells us that the solution proved extremely beneficial by allowing smooth interoperability and integration with other cloud services . It also assisted Calligo in securing its data under the new rules of the GDPR .
Our second case study this month focuses on V-TAB , a Nordic printing company that wanted to improve its IT robustness and overall operational efficiency . We hear from Fredrik Bogårdh , IT Manager at V-TAB , who tells us why the company decided to implement Scale Computing ’ s hyperconverged solution to help manage its data .
Expert data handling is crucial for performance accuracy and security , and companies face the challenge of installing the correct management solution that works for them . This month ’ s ‘ Tech Talk ’ feature explores the potential security implications web browsing data can cause and how a web data bloat can be reduced . Francesco Giarletta , CEO of Avanite , tells us about this in more detail .
Israel is fast becoming a leader in cybersecurity and as this month ’ s ‘ Country Focus ’, we explore just how it is turning into a ‘ breeding ground ’ for producing skilled professionals in this field . We hear from several experts who tell us how the country is equipping civilians with an innovative education offering and enhanced knowledge to prepare against future cyberattacks .
Education is another important topic elsewhere in the magazine and is the subject of discussion for this month ’ s ‘ Editor ’ s Question ’. We ask whether the education sector is utilising technology to its full potential and we receive responses from : Mathew Edwards , Director of Product Marketing , Aerohive ; Mark Strassman , Chief Product Officer , BlueJeans ; and Pete Hannah , Head of Channel UK and Ireland , Zyxel . Each contributor provides a different perspective and it ’ s interesting when comparing them .
For our ‘ Industry Watch ’ this issue , we consider the complex challenges the hospitality industry are facing when attempting to secure against hackers , an issue proving more and more frequent as technology innovates . We see how the approaches of hackers are evolving by attacking software and hotel key cards , for example .
This month , we ‘ Get To Know ’ Lindsay Notwell , Senior Vice President of 5G Strategy and Global Carrier Operations at Cradlepoint , who lets us in on his exciting ride in tech and how he finds ways to relax and unwind outside of the office .
