The U7 Pro XG brings WiFi 7, a 10 GbE PoE+ uplink and a silent metal-heatsink design to UniFi’s flagship ceiling AP line. Full specs, an interactive 3D model, comparisons and FAQs.
Every organisation handles sensitive data — customer records, financial reports, intellectual property — and all of it can walk out the door through email, cloud uploads, USB drives, or misconfiguration. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technologies monitor, detect, and block the unauthorised movement of sensitive information. This guide covers DLP fundamentals, deployment models, policy design, and the Australian privacy considerations that make DLP relevant for local businesses.
When the database goes down, everything goes down. Whether it is an ERP system, a web application, or a point-of-sale platform, database availability underpins every transaction. This article explores the major approaches to database high availability — active-passive clustering, active-active replication, and automated failover — across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, with practical guidance on choosing the right architecture for your clients.
Ransomware operators now routinely target backup repositories before encrypting production data, knowing that an organisation without recoverable backups is far more likely to pay. Immutable backups — copies that cannot be altered or deleted for a defined retention period — are the most effective technical countermeasure. This guide explains the underlying technologies, compares air-gapped and immutable approaches, and walks through implementation with Veeam, QNAP, and major cloud platforms.
Storage capacity grows cheaper each year, but data grows faster. Deduplication and compression are the two foundational technologies that reduce the physical storage required for a given data set, cutting costs on disk, backup media, and replication bandwidth. This guide explains how deduplication and compression work, the trade-offs between inline and post-process approaches, and how leading backup and storage vendors implement these features.
Not all storage is created equal. Object storage, block storage, and file storage each address different workloads, performance requirements, and cost profiles. Choosing the wrong type can mean paying too much for capacity you do not need or suffering performance bottlenecks that cripple applications. This guide explains how each storage type works, when to use it, and how they compare on performance, scalability, and cost at scale.
Mobile Device Management controls what apps and settings are allowed on a phone, but it cannot detect a phishing link, a malicious app sideloaded outside the managed profile, or a man-in-the-middle attack on public WiFi. Mobile Threat Defence (MTD) fills that gap with on-device threat detection that identifies and remediates mobile-specific risks in real time. This guide explores the threat landscape, compares MTD solutions, and explains how MTD integrates with MDM and UEM platforms.
Designing a business WiFi network means choosing an architecture: self-organising mesh, on-premises controller, or cloud-managed access points. Each approach offers different trade-offs in cost, scalability, roaming performance, and management complexity. This article breaks down mesh networking concepts, compares leading vendor platforms from Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Cisco Meraki, and explains the roaming standards that keep users connected as they move through a building.
When fibre is unavailable or too expensive to provision, wireless broadband fills the gap. Australian businesses now face a choice between 5G fixed wireless access, NBN fixed wireless, and traditional fibre for primary or failover connectivity. This guide compares latency, throughput, reliability, and cost across these options, with a focus on real-world use cases such as remote sites, pop-up offices, and automatic WAN failover.
Cloud computing offers unmatched flexibility, but that flexibility comes with a cost model that can spiral without deliberate management. Oversized instances, forgotten resources, unoptimised storage tiers, and a lack of financial accountability inflate monthly bills beyond expectations. This guide covers strategies for controlling cloud spend across AWS, Azure, and GCP — from reserved instances and right-sizing to tagging governance and the emerging discipline of FinOps.
