01732 759725 05 magazine Cloud explained Managed web hosting provider Cloudways has compiled a Cloud Hosting Glossary with definitions of 50 common cloud computing terms. Suitable for everyone from cloud novices to business leaders and experienced cloud specialists, the glossary provides straightforward explanations of each term along with more in-depth information and real-world use cases. https://www.cloudways.com/en/ resources/cloud-hosting-glossary Interpreters welcome Microsoft is helping theWelsh Government to fulfil its duty to provide meetings in English andWelsh with a new feature that allows designated interpreters to translate what is being said during a scheduled Microsoft Teams meeting and attendees to choose their preferred language in realtime. Attendees can switch between two or more languages at will without having to open another window, tab or device. The new Teams feature developed by Microsoft in partnership with theWelsh Government will replace a previous workaround, where interpreters would observe a Teams video meeting and provide a simultaneous translation via a telephone line. The Welsh Government’s Chief Digital Officer Glyn Jones said: “I don’t think you can underestimate the impact this will have on organisations that operate bilingually or multilingually.” Connecting the dots WithSecure (formerly F-Secure business) has launched a data visualisation tool for cyber security defence teams (aka blue teams) that connects the dots between suspicious activities during a cyberattack. Detectree decreases response times, reduces alert fatigue and improves communication during an incident by visualising log data and showing the relationships between suspicious activity and any processes, network destinations, files or registry keys connected to that detection. Rather than manually sorting through data represented as text to reconstruct a chain of events, responders can look at the visualisation to see connections and the nature of those connections (e.g. interactions, parent-child relationships and process injections) and share that data with relevant stakeholders. https://www.withsecure.com Democratising public cloud ANS Group, an Azure Expert MSP, is aiming to remove much of the cost and complexity associated with cloud adoption by changing the delivery model from one based on expensive consultation to one based on repeatable automation. Its new managed Public Cloud for SMBs offering supports this by enabling businesses to lift and shift their code into a pre-configured AWS or Azure environment and launch their new cloud platform and virtual machines at the touch of a button. Then, once customers are up and running, they can access a managed service layer tailored to their specific requirements and budget, with support and continuous optimisation by the ANS Centre of Excellence and the option of bolt-on capability in security, DevOps and disaster recovery. ANS CTO JoeWolski said: “Public Cloud has for too long been the preserve of organisations with significant in-house skills or huge budgets. The typical digital transformation journey hasn’t moved on in 20 years and involves expensive consultations up front. Then, when the project is finally delivered, the technology and the business have moved on. After years of experience bringing enterprises to Public Cloud, we’ve created best-practice templates for cloud environments alongside an affordable managed service, democratising the technology for everyone to use.” www.ans.co.uk Built-in flexibility With Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC connectivity, a USB audio interface and the ability to attach headsets when privacy is required, the new Snom C300 speakerphone has builtin flexibility.
