Inverness Caledonian Thistle nets IT partnerships

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC (ICTFC) has signed up Scottish IT and cybersecurity company Converged Communication Solutions as its first IT partner. The SPFL Championship side has joined forces with Converged, which has offices in Aberdeen and Inverness, to upgrade its IT systems and invest in technology that will improve digital engagement with fans. Since last autumn, Converged has supported ICTFC’s investment in new laptops and other computer hardware at the Caledonian Stadium.  The independent IT firm has also managed the club’s transition to Office 365, installed new data back-up systems and firewall solutions, and controlled the migration and management of the club’s data to secure cloud-based systems.  In the longer-term, Converged will assist ICTFC by providing ongoing IT support and desktop device management, servicing of onsite infrastructure, software licencing and maintaining effective cybersecurity measures. The partnership will also see Converged deliver cybersecurity training sessions to ICTFC staff and players.  These will heighten awareness of different types of cyber threats and demonstrate the steps individuals can take to better protect themselves and their employer when online. By investing in strengthening its systems and technologies to make them more efficient and secure, ICTFC has enhanced the remote working facilities for its employees.  It has also put in place infrastructure for boosting interaction with supporters in the years ahead. The past year has forced all organisations to embrace technology to change how they operate and for football clubs that has included redefining the long-established matchday experience for fans.  As technology continues to progress, how ICTFC digitally connects with fans in the stands and in their homes will further evolve. Scot Gardiner ICTFC Chief Executive, says: “We have been very impressed with the seamless installation of the new systems by Converged and the ease with which staff have transitioned over to them.  This is very much an investment for the future.  It ensures the club has robust infrastructure and hardware in place as we embrace further digitalisation to enrich how we engage and communicate with Caley Jags around the world.”  “Creating long-term partnerships with established businesses such as Converged is important to ICTFC, as their knowledge and insight is hugely beneficial.  Cybersecurity has the potential to affect us all, either in our home or work environments, so for Converged to deliver cybersecurity training to our team is very valuable.” “We, like every Club in the SPFL, are hugely grateful to the generosity of James Anderson, the money he donated to the SPFL Trust enabled us to expedite this project, become technologically secure and help to future proof the business.” Neil Christie, Converged Communications Solutions managing director, adds: “The past year has underlined the need for all organisations to have up-to-date, robust, efficient and secure IT systems in place, and which can support their future growth.  As a business, we are committed to doing that, which is demonstrated in our partnership with ICTFC. “Working with ICTFC underlines the commitment to the Highland capital and wider region that we first made in 2018 when we opened our office in the city.  I know our Inverness-based team is excited to be working with the Caley Thistle team.  Having assisted the club in laying technical foundations on which its short and long-term digital ambitions to enhance the fan experience can be built, we look forward to supporting them in bringing those to life.” Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club, commonly known as Caley Thistle, is a professional football club based in Inverness, Scotland.

Hospital trust deploys Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure

Schneider Electric, in collaboration with Advanced Power Technology (APT), has deployed its award-winning EcoStruxure IT Expert software at the Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. The open, vendor-agnostic and interoperable data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) platform will provide the Trust with a dedicated remote monitoring solution, offering data-driven decision-making, increased resiliency and uptime for its distributed IT and critical backup power systems. EcoStruxure IT Expert is an advanced remote monitoring tool providing wherever-you-go visibility, alarms, preventive management capabilities, and data-driven recommendations to mitigate security and failure risks and drive efficiency. It is part of Schneider Electric’s IoT-enabled EcoStruxure architecture. “For healthcare professionals, the availability of power infrastructure and mission-critical systems is a non-negotiable,” says Marc Garner, VP, Secure Power Division, Schneider Electric UK&I. “Our EcoStruxure software offers the Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust greater visibility, increased resilience and will help mitigate downtime across its distributed edge environments.”   Founded in 2017 as a merger between two existing hospitals, the Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is a specialist provider of healthcare services for more than 140,000 patients. The Trust’s operations are supported by an extensive IT infrastructure system, whose functions were consolidated and integrated across both of its hospital campuses. They include two on-premise data centres, a growing number of distributed network closets and more than 100 uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) that safeguard critical equipment and patient data. Remote monitoring increases resiliency Continuous uptime is the top priority for the Trust’s IT department to enable always-on patient management and clinical applications. To ensure continuous operation in the event of a failure, the Trust maintains a detailed disaster recovery (DR) plan, which sees its data centres act as fail-over resources to one another. Further, its UPSs, which are deployed across a number of edge computing locations, need to be monitored in real-time, ensuring that their batteries, and other critical components remain in good working condition. Traditionally, manual inspections were required to check the health and status of its backup power and IT equipment. However, given the distributed nature of their infrastructure, the Trust had begun to experience longer intervals between inspections, increasing both the risk of battery malfunctions and of downtime to its IT applications. Realising that it needed to improve the resilience of its IT and UPSs, the Trust engaged the support of Advanced Power Technology (APT), a specialist provider of energy efficient power and cooling systems. Increasing uptime APT recommended the installation of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT Expert software to help monitor and manage its UPS, battery systems and edge IT infrastructure. Its cloud-based architecture would allow them to connect its data centres, distributed IT and backup power systems, and monitor them from a central console. Further, it would enable status updates and alarms to be routed to any remote device, providing real-time visibility and preventing downtime. “The annual inspections traditionally provided assurance that the UPS systems were sufficient to meet the needs of emergency operations,” comments John Thompson, managing director of APT.  “Unfortunately, when called upon in the moment of need, the Trust found this approach to be lacking. The installation of EcoStruxure IT Expert means the team now has continuous 24x7x365 assurance of the UPS’s operational status, as well as the runtime available to support its critical loads.” Data-driven decision making to drive efficiency Additional capabilities within EcoStruxure IT Expert also allow the Trust to monitor environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, which can affect the performance of its IT and network infrastructures. In these environments, cooling efficiency is essential and network closets can suffer from dust and poor ventilation. Here EcoStruxure IT Expert enables the IT department, in collaboration with estates management, to provide detailed information to key stakeholders. This will help drive investments that will not only maximise uptime, but enable the Trust to manage its hardware assets in a more sustainable and efficient way. “Through EcoStruxure IT, we’ve got a great tool from a leading vendor, which gives us complete peace of mind,” says Jas Purewall, ICT Infrastructure Manager, Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. “We can assess the impact of additional loads and use data from the application to decide whether to scale the UPSs up or down, right-size them, or optimise the system for efficient operations.”

Research shows that IT leaders are prioritising product development over hybrid working

82% of business leaders have increased their investments in digital initiatives as a result of the pandemic, with 62% of that group adding money to their technology budgets to fund them. That is according to new research released by The Harvard Business Review and technology cost management company Apptio. The research explores the key investment priorities of 338 business leaders across agile, hybrid working, cloud and more. The report demonstrates that Agile and other processes/technologies which improve product delivery are the top tech investment priority for business leaders over the next year, followed by hybrid working and cloud migrations. The report also finds: Customer experience is the main driver of tech investment decisions, ahead of other strategic priorities such as automation and improving productivityLeaders don’t have the right data to make informed decisions; while 92% said that insights on how tech contributes to business value are key, only 62% had confidence in their dataMore than half of organisations’ data on spending is out of date, with 55% unable to make timely decisions on IT spendingTop investment goals include opportunities to automate business or manufacturing processes, tied at 51% with reducing overall business operations costs/improving productivity; the development or enhancement of new digital business models (50%), and opportunities to expand their customer base or enter new markets (49%).  Business leaders are clearly seeking greater agility and flexibility from their technology investments. However, the survey findings suggest that a lack of information about the business value of technology investments, and a shortage of timely data in general, presents a challenge to executing their plans. Without visibility into their current spending on technology and the return on these investments, business leaders are hard pressed to determine which are delivering the greatest value and where money might be put to better use. This chimes with a recent report released by PwC on the "cloud value gap," a survey of more than 500 business and tech leaders conducted last month. This concludes that companies are waking up from last year's cloud-computing splurge and realising that while that spending was justified, they're having trouble making progress on their goals.  The draft HBR and Apptio report, along with an infographic, can be downloaded here.

Siemon launches LC BladePatch fibre jumper for data centre patching

Siemon is pleased to introduce an innovative enhancement to their proven LC BladePatch duplex fibre optic jumper. Equipped with Siemon’s new space-saving, one-piece UniClick housing, the enhanced jumpers build upon LC BladePatch’s patented push-pull latch design to provide unmatched accessibility and ease of operation in ultra-high-density fibre patching environments. The UniClick housing features a one-piece body with an integrated switch to make it faster and easier to change polarity, with no loose parts. This reduces the LC BladePatch’s already small footprint, simplifying jumper installation and patching administration in even the tightest, side- stacked server, switch, and SAN port configurations. The UniClick housing also improves on the jumpers patented, user-friendly fibre polarity change process by eliminating multiple components and steps by incorporating a single polarity reversal switch. “Most fibre jumpers on the market do not support field polarity changes” explains Alex Yao, Siemon Senior Product Manager, “and those that do typically require a technician to disassemble the housing and physically move and twist the fibres, creating a strong risk of damage. With LC BladePatch’s UniClick housing, you simply engage the polarity reversal switch and rotate the latches. The fibres themselves never move from their factory- terminated locations.” These new UniClick enhancements work in conjunction with LC BladePatch’s exclusive, patented push-pull latch. This popular and proven design allows the connectors to be securely engaged and removed via a finger grip on the end of the strain relief boot rather than defeating traditional LC latches that can be extremely difficult to access in high-density applications. To further simplify jumper installation and future patching field management, LC BladePatch jumpers feature reduced-diameter uni-tube cable and bend-insensitive glass fibre. This space- saving, flexible cable reduces cable pathway congestion for improved airflow, energy efficiency and simplified cable routing. Siemon’s new LC BladePatch jumpers are compatible with any standard duplex LC adapter opening or LC small-form pluggable (SFP) module. They feature superior connector polish that meets stringent Telcordia and ISO/IEC end-face specifications and exceeds all ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC insertion loss and return loss requirements. Available in OM3 and OM4 50/125 Multimode and OS1/OS2 Singlemode, in both UPC and APC configurations, and in OFNR, OFNP and LSOH jacket constructions, every LC BladePatch is 100% factory inspected to ensure precise optical performance and defect-free operation.
