Aruba “leads the pack” in 2019 wireless
solutions evaluation by Forrester Research
Company emerges as only vendor in Leaders category for Wireless Solutions
Report among eight of the most significant vendors in this space
Company introduces new Attended Automation 2.0, where managers can easily
orchestrate workstreams across a team of employees and bots
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise
company, announced that it is posi-
tioned as the only company in the
Leaders category by Forrester Re-
search, Inc. as part of The Forrester
New Wave™: Wireless Solutions,
Q3 2019 report. In Forrester’s eval-
uation, it found that Aruba “leads the
pack with robust location services
and multiwireless capabilities.”
In the Forrester New Wave™ for
Wireless Solutions, Forrester evalu-
ates the emerging market for wireless
solutions, identifying the eight most
significant vendors in this space. The
report details Forrester’s findings
about how well each vendor’s solu-
tion scored against ten criteria and
where they stand in relation to each
other. Forrester suggests that infra-
structure and operations profession-
als can use this review to select the
right partner for their broader wire-
less needs that go beyond just Wire-
less LAN.
In explaining its evaluation, Forrest-
er noted that Aruba “is the best fit for
companies needing advanced wire-
less services.” As part of its evalua-
tion process, Forrester spoke directly
with customers of each vendor and,
in Aruba’s case, said that “customers
praised Aruba’s rich management
interfaces, monitoring tools, and lo-
cation services, especially the ability
to connect IoT devices using wireless
options outside of just using Wi-Fi
with Aruba’s access points (APs).”
In the report, Aruba’s solution was
deemed “differentiated” in six of the
ten categories upon which all ven-
dors were measured including wire-
less connectivity, wireless hardware,
spectrum/device visibility, security,
solution positioning, and road map.
“We’re gratified to see Forrester
recognizing Aruba as a Leader in its
wireless solutions evaluation and in
particular, our approach to helping
customers contend with the grow-
ing issue of connecting and securing
the myriad IoT devices coming onto
their networks,” said Keerti Melkote,
president and founder, Aruba, a Hew-
lett Packard Enterprise company.
“While Aruba has long been a leader
in WLAN, we recognize it’s about
more than just Wi-Fi; a modern, in-
telligent edge solution must help
drive the kinds of amazing, digital-
ly-connected experiences customers
are seeking. Forrester’s assessment
further validates for us that Aruba
is on the right path and leading the
market.”

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Am-
azon.com company, announced the general
availability of Amazon Forecast, a fully man-
aged service that uses machine learning to
deliver highly accurate forecasts based on the
same technology that powers Amazon.com.
Amazon uses forecasting to make sure that
the right product is in the right place at the
right time by predicting demand for hundreds
of millions of products every day.
The general availability of Amazon Forecast
provides a major step toward putting the pow-
er ofAmazon’s deep experience in forecasting
into the hands of everyday developers in vir-
tually every industry. Amazon Forecast pro-
duces private, custom models that can help

50% more accurate than traditional methods.
“Amazon Forecast now offers the forecast-
ing expertise from Amazon’s first 25 years of
building the world’s largest ecommerce busi-
ness in a managed service for any company to
leverage,” said Swami Sivasubramanian, VP,
Amazon Machine Learning. “We’ve built so-
phisticated, machine learning forecasting al-
gorithms over many years that our customers
can now use in Amazon Forecast without hav-
ing to know anything about machine learning
themselves. We can’t wait to see how our
customers use the service to reduce operating
expenses and inefficiencies, ensure higher re-
source and product availability, deliver prod-
ucts faster, and lower costs to delight their
customers.”
Using machine learning, Amazon Forecast
automatically discovers how variables such
as product features, seasonality, and store
locations affect each other. These complex
relationships can be difficult to spot using
traditional forecasting methods, but Amazon
Forecast uses the machine learning developed
at Amazon to quickly recognize complex pat-
terns to improve forecast accuracy.
Amazon Forecast automatically sets up a data
pipeline, ingests data, trains a model, provides
accuracy metrics, and performs forecasts. De-
velopers do not need to have any expertise
in machine learning to start using Amazon
Forecast and can use the Amazon Forecast

embrace digital transformation
Veeam Software, the leader in Backup solutions
that deliver Cloud Data Management, announced
its participation at GITEX Technology Week,
taking place between 6 -10 October 2019 at the
Dubai World Trade Centre.
As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to
help regional organizations transition to the cloud
and embrace digital transformation, executives
from Veeam will share its vision for Cloud Data
Management, delivering live demonstrations of
Veeam Availability Platform - the most complete
solution to help customers evolve the way they
manage data, from policy- to behavior-based, and
make it smarter and self-governing, ensuring it’s
available across any application and any cloud
infrastructure.
Talking about the company’s participation at GI-
TEX, Claude Schuck, regional manager, Middle
East at Veeam said: “As the importance of data
has grown to drive every aspect of the digital
business, so has the need for solutions that ensure
information is available at any time, no matter
where it resides. There is a new expectation for
data in today’s enterprise:Data must move to a
higher state of intelligence and be able to antici-
pate need and meet demand. Data must also move
securely across multi-cloud infrastructures and-
meet the expectations of the mobile, always-on
world.”
“Given our leadership position and market lead-
ing technologies, GITEX is an opportunity to
turn the spotlight on the criticality of Cloud Data
Management,” continued Schuck. “CIOs and
IT managers need to understand that ensuring
instant and reliable data availability requires an
evolution in how it is managed from policy-driv-
en to behavior-driven, leveraging Artificial In-
telligence and Machine Learning to enable data
to back up autonomously, migrate to the right
location based on the business need and to secure
itself during anomalous activity.”
According to the 2019 Veeam Cloud Data Man-
agement Report, 72% of organizations are look-
ing to embrace Cloud Data Management and are
transitioning to cloud strategies. As part of the
same survey, 80% of respondents from the Mid-
dle East see productivity bene¬fits of Intelligent
Data Management. Only 24% of enterprises in
the Middle East describe their digital initiatives
as mature. To help them on their journey, at GI-
TEX, Veeam will educate regional organizations
on this journey.

Mimecast Limited, a leading email and data se-
curity company, introduced Mimecast Threat
Intelligence which offers customers a deeper
Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the general
availability of Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh
to connect, observe and simplify service-to-ser-
vice communication of Kubernetes applications
on Red Hat OpenShift 4, the industry’s most
comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform.
Based on the Istio, Kiali and Jaeger projects and
enhanced with Kubernetes Operators, OpenShift
Service Mesh is designed to deliver a more ef-
ficient, end-to-end developer experience around
microservices-based application architectures.
This helps to free developer teams from the
complex tasks of having to implement bespoke
networking services for their applications and
business logic.
“Red Hat is a leader in enterprise Kuberne-
tes for the hybrid cloud, with more than 1,000
global organizations across industries using Red
Hat OpenShift to drive digital and cloud-native
transformation. The addition of Red Hat Open-
Shift Service Mesh allows us to further enable
developers to be more productive on the indus-
try’s most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes
Mimecast now delivers communi-
ty-based, tailored Threat Intelligence
Red Hat launches OpenShift Service Mesh to accelerate
adoption of Microservices and Cloud-Native Applications
New Mimecast Threat Intelligence features offers customers a deeper
understanding of the cyber threats their organizations face
Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh simplifies service-to-service
communications on Kubernetes platform across the hybrid cloud
understanding of the cyber threats their organiza-
tions face. The new features are designed to give
organizations access to threat data and analytics
specific to their overall organization, offering a
more granular view of the attacks Mimecast has
blocked.
The Mimecast Threat Intelligence dashboard
highlights end-users who are most at-risk, mal-
ware detections, malware origin by geo-location,
Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and malware
forensics based on static and behavioral analysis
This offers customers a community-based, tai-
lored threat intelligence that is specific to their
organization.
The data is consolidated into a user-friendly view
and is also available for integration into an orga-
nization’s security ecosystem through the Threat
Feed API. This targeted threat intelligence pro-
vides greater visibility and insight to security pro-
platform by helping to remove the burdens of
network connectivity and management from their
jobs and allowing them to focus on building the
next-generation of business applications”, said
Ashesh Badani, senior vice president, Cloud Plat-
forms, Red Hat.
While microservices present a transformative op-
tion for modern, cloud-native applications, effec-
tively developing and using microservices in pro-
duction can raise new challenges of implementing
and managing inter-service communication. This
has led to the development of the service mesh,
an underlying infrastructure responsible for traf-
fic management, policy enforcement and service
identity and security.
The OpenShift Service Mesh extends these traffic
management features by including service ob-
servability and visualization of the mesh topology
to enhance the service mesh experience. By inte-
grating service mesh natively into the OpenShift
Kubernetes platform, developers can improve
their implementation of microservice architec-
tures. Platform operations teams can benefit from
fessionals, enabling them to more easily respond
and remediate against threats and malicious files.
The cybersecurity landscape changes daily, and
attackers are constantly changing their tech-
niques to avoid detection. According to Mime-
cast’s recent The State of Email Security Report
2019, 94 percent of organizations saw phishing
attacks in the last 12 months and 61 percent said
it was likely or inevitable that they would be hit
with an email-borne attack. IT and security teams
are often overwhelmed by the volume of infor-
mation they need to track and if the intelligence
they need to proactively defend their organization
is buried, their defense becomes less effective.
“The cyberthreat landscape is dynamic, com-
plex and driven by a relentless community of
adversaries. IT and security teams need threat
intelligence that is easy to digest and actionable,
so they can better leverage the information to
proactively prevent and defend against cyberat-
tacks,” said Josh Douglas, vice president of threat
intelligence at Mimecast. “Mimecast sees a lot of
data, as we process more than 300 million emails
every day to help customers block hundreds of
thousands of malicious emails. Mimecast Threat
Intelligence helps organizations get the deep in-
sights they need to build a more cyber resilient
environment.”

rity and communication. Users can benefit from
normalized environments across datacenters and
the cloud through the use of software defined in-
frastructure built on open source software.
