Dussehra of 10 Challenges

Today is victory day. Symbolically, it is a celebration of victory over ten vices, or weaknesses, or challenges. It is the most appropriate day to recall those ten common challenges every enterprise wants to overcome.

I take this opportunity to list ten challenges of IT that BLACKbox overcomes.

One: Licensing Cost

Investment in BLACKbox can save the licensing cost of the following nature.

1. Microsoft Windows Server License for File Servers
2. Microsoft Windows Server CALs (Client Access Licenses) for File Servers
3. Microsoft Terminal Server License and RDP CALs (RDP Client Access License) for accessing data and applications remotely.
4. VPN Client License Cost for Remote Access of data and applications
5. DLP Agent License Cost for Data Leakage Prevention
6. Cloud Backup Agent License Cost for Cloud Backup of File and Application Data

Two: Hardware Cost

Investment in BLACKbox can save the cost of hardware of the following nature.

1. Hardware Cost to Host Windows Server License, Active Directory for File Server
2. Hardware Cost for NAS Device
3. Hardware Cost of VPN Server

Three: Complexity of Discrete IT Systems

A standard enterprise environment requires the procurement of eight discrete IT systems that requires integration by an expert. They are listed below.

1. i) File Server Hardware
2. ii) Domain Controller and Active Director Software

iii) Email Distribution and Vigilance System

1. iv) Firewall
2. v) Storage Device
3. vi) Automatic On-Premise Backup Solution

vii) Automatic On-cloud Backup Solution

viii) End Point Security to control USB

The investment in BLACKbox can avoid procurement of such eight discrete IT systems and their integration. BLACKbox is a single hardware single endpoint solution that is an integrated and cost-effective system compared to above listed discrete systems.

Four: Difficulty in Retaining in-house IT Team

The investment in BLACKbox entitles the customer to avail of technical support services from BLACKbox through its call center. It requires a non-technical resource to coordinate with BLACKbox Team for any technical support.

Five: Data Recovery after Deletion

Deletion over the network can happen everywhere and anytime. Your enterprise is no exception. Deletion can be accidental or intentional. The Active Recycle Bin technology of BLACKbox restores accidentally deleted data. If the user deletes the data intentionally, BLACKbox can indicate who deleted the data also.

Six: Data Recovery after Ransomware Attack

Traditional solutions like firewalls and antivirus can detect widely known ransomware. Enterprise can be a victim of a newly launched ransomware that firewalls or antivirus may not prevent. Investment in BLACKbox can help enterprises recover the data after a ransomware attack. Thanks to Vault Workspace Technology by BLACKbox.

Seven: Data Recovery after Disaster or Laptop Loss

Most enterprises do not maintain the backup of the laptop users or the backup of the data off-premise. Loss of laptop or disaster would lead to loss of data, hence loss of business continuity. Investment in BLACKbox and subscription to its Data Center for Disaster Recovery can recover the data after loss of laptop or disaster.

Eight: Data Leakage while WFH or by BYOD Users

There is a possibility of data leakage when the user works from home using a personal computer. Most enterprises want to prevent data leakage during WFH on BYOD basis. BLACKbox Duo, an innovative dual profiling technology, creates two profiles on BYOD users, enterprise and personal. All security settings are on in the enterprise profile. BYOD users cannot access enterprise data from a personal profile.

Nine: High Bandwidth Cost

Work from Home provisions and remote access of enterprise applications require a larger bandwidth at the office and home. Investment in BLACKbox AAA (Access Applications Anywhere) can allow remote access of applications on exceptionally low bandwidth.

Ten: Productivity Monitoring while WFH

The productivity of work from home users is a matter of concern for every enterprise. BLACKbox solves this problem by its innovative screen capture module, known as PlayBack Office.
