Know Your Network Security Vulnerabilities: Free Cyber Threat Assessment for Your Enterprise
Friday, October 30, 2015 – by Pete Sacco
Secure network architectures need to constantly evolve to keep up with the latest advanced persistent threats. There are two ways to find out if your solution isn’t keeping up—wait for a breach to happen or run validation tests.
A Cyber Threat Assessment can help you better understand:
- Security and Threat Prevention – which application vulnerabilities are attacking your network, which malware/botnets were detected, and which devices are “at risk”—for firewall assessment and security breach probability
- User Productivity – which peer-to-peer, social media, instant messaging, and other apps are running—for application visibility control
- Network Utilization and Performance – what are your throughput, session, and bandwidth usage requirements during peak hours—network utilization and monitoring tests for performance optimization

Is It Time To Decommission Your Data Center?
Friday, September 18, 2015 – by Pete Sacco
Data centers are extremely complex to manage, and the task of decommissioning a data center is far from trivial. Decisions must be made regarding which equipment, if any, can be reused in the new data center. Some of the equipment will need to be disposed of and/or destroyed, and some of the equipment may be resold. These tasks alone present their own set of unique challenges, and require significant amounts of time and labor to find an appropriate facility to decommission the equipment in question, and to transport the decommissioned equipment to that facility.
The best way to simplify your decommissioning project is to enlist the help of a company having both the experience and expertise in managing the project for you. PTS can manage all aspects of your decommissioning project, having in-house experts in facilities, IT and cabling. PTS can professionally plan, disassemble, transport, dispose/recycle, and restore all your data center equipment. The service technicians at PTS have a long track record in both building and decommissioning data center equipment.
PTS’ Decommissioning Services include:
- Establishing a Decommissioning Plan
- Disassemble Equipment
- Prep & Removal of Equipment to be Transported
- Disposal/Destruction
- Restoration
