Dell Technologies Drives the Evolution of Modern Support and Security

In today’s “do anything from anywhere” world, the PC is more than just a tool; it has become the key connection point for work and communication. Employees rely on it as a gateway for collaboration and productivity—and any downtime is disruptive especially to the bottom line.

New Dell Technologies support services and security solutions enhance the way IT leaders provide a modern, intelligent and secure PC experience for employees. Added capabilities in the ProSupport Suite for PCs build on the foundation of artificial intelligence and an always-on approach to make IT support easier and more customizable. New endpoint security offerings enhance the industry’s most secure commercial PCs with new security verification capabilities and additional protections below the operating system.

“If your PCs aren’t productive, your employees aren’t either,” said Patrick Moorhead, founder and chief analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy. “Support services and security offerings must evolve with changing employee experiences and stay ahead of the threats that exist at every corner. I believe Dell Technologies is stepping up to the plate with some unique offerings that are designed with the future in mind.”

ProSupport Suite for PCs maximizes productivity and uptime with new features that customize and tailor IT support 

According to a recent survey from Forrester Consulting, 70% of companies plan to increase their investment in remote workforce in the next year. With ProSupport Suite for PCs, IT managers can now customize and automate the way they support employees and optimize PCs. New features include:

  • Customizable IT management tools: ProSupport Suite for PC is the first support service to provide IT managers with automated custom update catalog management and deployment capabilities. Now they have the ability to update Dell BIOS, drivers, firmware and applications automatically and remotely, and customize how those updates are grouped and managed.
  • Tailored, actionable information for PC fleet in one place: For the first time, IT managers can see the health, application experience and security scores for their entire Dell PC fleet in one glance.They can use those scores over time to uncover performance trends and also take immediate action when needed, remotely, leveraging tailored recommendations and utilization metrics provided by Dell Technologies AI-powered services support software.
  • Customized, remote workflows: Using a customized rules engine to define and orchestrate remote remediation workflows at scale, IT managers are also able to predetermine who receives updates automatically and how they are administered.
  • ProSupport Suite for PCs features available to channel partners and their customers: Channel partners can leverage the entire scope of our AI-driven support, tools and portal within the ProSupport Suite for PCs. Partners can view and manage the support experience for multiple organizations using SupportAssist in TechDirect and have the option to leverage Dell Technologies’ expertise to overcome customer challenges on a case-by-case or fleetwide basis.

“The role of IT has never been more important. While the mission remains the same – keep everyone productive and systems up and running – the operations behind it have become a lot more complicated, especially with the amount of data and opportunities at the edge ever-increasing,” said Doug Schmitt, president of Services, Dell Technologies. “Our approach to IT services is built on an AI-driven, adaptive, always-on foundation, taking today’s realities and future customer needs into consideration. At the end of the day, the new capabilities are about helping IT leaders see ahead, and stay ahead, while providing workforces around the world the ability to continue collaborating and innovating without disruption.”

Doubling down with innovations for the industry’s most secure and intelligent commercial PC portfolio with built-in AI[5]

The rapid shift to remote work, increased use of cloud applications and new ways of addressing employee productivity needs have created new threat vectors at the endpoint. Every business is a target regardless of location, industry or size as threats have grown increasingly sophisticated and sometimes challenging to detect. Recent data suggests 44% of organizations experienced at least one hardware-level or BIOS attack over the past 12 months.[6] For an endpoint security strategy to be effective, it must take the entire attack surface into consideration, including supply chain hardware and firmware.

Dell Trusted Devices security portfolio helps protect Dell commercial PCs throughout the supply chain and device lifecycle. This comprehensive suite of above- and below- the operating system (OS) security solutions leverage intelligence and help empower businesses to prevent, detect and respond to threats with improved mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) of issues.

Dell Technologies builds upon its leadership position with new security capabilities that include:

  • Advanced Secure Component Verification for PCs allows customers to verify Dell commercial PCs and key components arrive as they were ordered and built. Dell Technologies is the first commercial PC manufacturer in the industry with this native capability, extending its supply chain security and integrity controls.
  • Intel Management Engine (ME) Verification verifies critical system firmware and detects tampering. The initial release of Intel ME Verification targets boot processes critical to system security and provides additional layers of below the OS security.
  • Dell Trusted Device Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Integration brings customers full visibility of critical below the OS security events through select SIEM dashboards.[8] It allows for a comprehensive analysis of the organization’s security status while enabling them to extract more value out of existing security investments.

Availability

  • New ProSupport Suite for PCs capabilities will be available to new and existing customers directly and through channel partners globally starting Oct. 19.
  • Advanced Secure Component Verification is available today for U.S. federal customers and on select Dell commercial PCs.
  • Intel ME Verification and Dell Trusted Device SIEM Integration are available today in Europe on Dell commercial PCs.

Applications now open for Deloitte 2021 Technology #Fast50 Awards

This year’s ranking will reflect the technology sector’s unique role in responding to the pandemic

Entries are now open for the 22nd annual Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards. One of Ireland’s foremost technology award programmes, the awards rank Ireland’s 50 fastest-growing indigenous technology companies based on revenue growth over the last four years, celebrating innovation and entrepreneurship.

Last year six of the top 10 companies in the ranking were first-time entrants to the programme, including Cork company Everseen, which took the top spot. Cumulatively, the 2020 Fast 50 winners generated approximately €3.3 billion in total annual revenues and employed over 4,600 people in 2019.

This year’s Fast 50 ranking will be a strong benchmark of how the indigenous industry has performed.

“It is hugely encouraging to be talking about growth in the technology industry amidst a global pandemic. There are a number of sectors that we expect to emerge as having had particularly strong growth over the course of the last year due to their unique role in the pandemic response, including greentech and sustainability, cybersecurity, online retail, e-learning, remote working, medtech and sports tech, to name a few.

“Ireland’s reputation as a tech hub is no longer only about the multinational tech companies that have chosen to locate here; it’s also about the Irish-owned companies that are having a significant impact, locally and globally. Ultimately the Fast 50 programme highlights the importance of recognising and celebrating companies who are driving their businesses forward, and the importance of innovation in allowing companies to adapt and keep growing.”

This year’s awards programme will include a number of award categories in addition to the overall ranking. These include:

Why Dedicated Hosting Is An Apt Choice For Businesses

Choosing the correct hosting for your website can be challenging in many ways. You need to consider the cost, services, plans, and support web hosts offer, among other things. But while shared hosting may be among the most typical and preferred types of hosting, it may not be the appropriate option for everyone.

Browsing through Liquid Web reviews will show you that such hosting providers don’t offer shared hosting services. While they may have their reasons, the good thing is that they provide excellent dedicated hosting.

Several features make this type of hosting one of the most solid choices for businesses large and small. Here are some undeniable reasons for companies to try this hosting.

Exclusive server resources

One of the best reasons for trying such a hosting type is that there is no need to worry about sharing the server with various other websites or applications; you get a separate server all to yourself. You can enjoy the server’s bandwidth, disk space, and RAM without other web pages clogging them up.

Unique IP address

You will have a unique address when you use dedicated servers, as each server has its IP address. So, if the one next to yours happens to store pages or websites that may, unfortunately, get corrupted accidentally, it will not affect your server. Typically, eCommerce sites of all possible sizes prefer using such servers as there is little to no risk of the website crashing.

Higher security and performance

Excellent security is especially critical for companies that handle sensitive transactions using FTP – they are protected from potential spammers or malicious websites. Also, this is among the best hosting types for websites that regularly witness a vast amount of traffic. They provide stability and reliability, ensuring users expand their business efficiently. 

This kind of high-end hosting is one of the reasons that the global web hosting market is growing at a tremendous rate. It is expected to grow by over 15% by 2027.

Flexibility 

Unlike other types of hosting, these kinds of servers offer users the flexibility to customize their servers in any way they want. They can customize RAM, CPU, disk space, and software, among other things. Also, they can decide which site management tools and software to use, when to launch which application, etc. You will be able to enjoy this kind of total control when using these types of hosting servers.

No expense upfront

Self-hosting is not up everyone’s alley. It requires a considerable amount of patience, money, time, and skillset, among other things. This type of hosting is a cost-effective way to enjoy similar benefits, as the web hosting provider takes on a majority of the burden. In simple terms, you can enjoy complete access to the resources of a single server meant solely for you, while the web host takes care of the building cost, security issues, maintenance, etc.

Conclusion 

Making an informed web host choice becomes easier when you are aware of the benefits of using a dedicated hosting provider. However, before you finalize a web host, ensure to check their reputation, client support, reliability, and overall quality. Asking about their hardware quality will also make a difference.

KidsBeeTV: a new brand on kids’ streaming apps #edtech #streaming

The edtech Magikbee announced that its popular kids’ video app KiddZtube  undertook a rebrand and is now called KidsBeeTV. 

KidsBeeTV borrows the “Bee” from the parent brand Magikbee, and is deeply  committed to being “The kids’ app that cares”. Like bees help plants grow, the new  brand wants to have a positive impact in kids’ development. 

“We needed a brand that clearly expressed our values – family fun, positive education  and diversity. We have more than a safe, fun and educational app for kids. We have an  interactive video experience that sparks imagination and curiosity. And we also care a  lot about parents. They can monitor kids’ activity, questions answered, and, to protect  

their kids from being too much time in front of a screen, daily time limits can be  setup”, explains Hugo Ribeiro, Magikbee’s CEO. 

KidsBeeTV, a global brand with a global  message 

In the last few years, there was a major growth in the offer of streaming services for  kids. Magikbee needed to stand out showing what makes it different.  

The name change is accompanied by a refresh on the brand’s visual identity, with a  new colorful palette that suggests diversity, in line with its global expansion strategy.  The USA and the Middle East are the two main markets of KidsBeeTV, but the app  has customers worldwide in more than 200 countries. That is why it needed to build  a diversified catalog: to answer to a variety of kids’ interests and to meet the  demands of a growing worldwide community of parents that seek to find content  that respects cultural differences and, at the same time, resonates a universal  language. 

Magikbee has been licensing content for KidsBeeTV from the best studios and  content producers. The most recent agreements were inked with studios like  Millimages (Molang and Mouk), Twist Animation (TuTiTu), Xilam (Where’s Chicky) or  Aurora World (Yoohoo and Friends). Some youtubers, like Caletha Playtime and  Get Matt, are also making their way into the app, but, contrary to what happens on  the social network, there are no videos with unboxings or product placement – only  positive meaningful messages are allowed to pass KidsBeeTV filters conducted by  teachers.  

Videos curated by teachers, quiz questions  on top 

Good-quality, engaging and age-appropriate videos continue to be the core of the  app. The videos are curated by teachers and other specialists, and to make the  experience less passive, the app offers pop-up quiz questions (ABC, Colors,  Counting, Language, Maths, Science, among others) on top of the videos. 

“For more than a decade, YouTube was almost synonymous with video streaming. At  the time we started our platform, it made sense to present it as a safe alternative to  YouTube for young kids. The name “kiddZtube” reflected that mission. But now our  mission is broader”, says Hugo.

Hugo came up with the idea for the app because of a challenge he was facing as a  parent: finding a safe environment for his daughters to watch good-quality videos  without the risk of crossing paths with inappropriate or even disturbing content,  such as the violent parodies of Peppa Pig and other cartoons widely reported a  couple of years ago. 

As he deepened in the searches, he found that there was a need for wider curation.  

Kids learn best when they are having fun 

“We know the importance learning in the early years plays on kids’ development and  we are committed to helping them discover their abilities and reach their full potential.  This is not a curriculum-based app, nevertheless, we do have curriculum-based  entertainment and activities. The main purpose of the app is to be fun. Being  educational is a natural consequence of the kind of content we hand-pick and the way  we choose to present it to the kids. They learn best when they are having fun”, tells  Hugo. 

The platform features now more than 500 hours of video and plans to add more IPs  monthly aimed at kids up to 8 years old. Having no ads and an image-based  interface, it is perfect for young kids, especially toddlers and preschoolers.

What is the best software for an online gaming website?

The online gaming industry currently has an estimated 1 billion gamers playing around the world. People are increasingly turning to video games, online casinos, and digital entertainment to fill their spare time making online gaming extremely profitable.

Think Animal Crossing, Fortnite, and World of Warcraft. It’s a multibillion-dollar industry that has skyrocketed in recent years due primarily to new technological advances, acceptance on social media, and more time spent at home. Not to mention, streaming capabilities coupled with faster internet speeds, cheaper data packages, and high-quality screens make it all the easier for you to enjoy from the comforts of your own home. Have you ever wondered what it takes to build an online gaming site? There’s a lot more that goes into them than you’d think. 

Types of Online Games 

Not all software is made equal, in particular for online gaming websites. Depending on what kind of gaming website one has, the mechanics are different. A website dedicated to sports, for example, will look a lot different than a website needed for a first-person shooter game. The main types of online gaming are: 

  • Sports Games: For sports enthusiasts of all types. Generally, you can play any sport you think of. 
  • Online Casinos: Gambling in many forms. Online casinos operate much like real casinos with games like blackjack, poker, roulette, bingo, craps, and even online slot machines. 
  • First Person Shooter Games: FPS games’ main focus is combat with guns and weapons via a first-person perspective, i.e. from the eyes of the protagonist.
  • Massively Multiplayer Online Games: MMOs or exactly that — an online game consisting of hundreds or even thousands of players all playing at once. Everything is played at a large scale, often with people playing from around the world. 
  • Arcade Games: Your standard arcade favorites online. These games typically involve skill. 
  • Educational Games: Usually for kids, but great for people of all ages who want to learn something new or improve their knowledge and skill. 
  • Cross-platform Games: Play on a variety of platforms via online servers allowing two players to play together despite having two different platforms. 

Types of Online Gaming Software 

In order to get started in the online gaming sphere, the right gear is important. There is a large difference between what it takes to host a website and what it takes to make an actual game. For example, to create a massively multiplayer online, first-person shooter, sports, and cross-platform game you would need a team of programmers, designers, sound designers, artists, quality assurance, business and project managers. These types of games require a lot of planning and attention to detail. It also depends on the type of game and budget. Software development teams often require a large budget. Game development is an entire industry in itself. 

For online casinos, educational, and arcade games, there are easy code scripts you can use or so-called “out-of-the-box” setups that have everything you need to start your site. 

Online Casinos 

The top software for creating your own online gambling site includes: 

Real-Time Gaming: Real Time Gaming started in 1998 and has multi-channel delivery including mobile, kiosks, download, and instant play. They also offer powerful search and marketing tools. What’s more, they’ve developed an algorithm to make it appear like a real casino with a high degree of randomness and chance at play. 

Playtech: This is one of the biggest names in the game with even casinos like the best casino in Ireland using software like this. They offer a high-tech, seamless, omnichannel gaming experience. As a pioneer in the field, they develop around 50 games a year including such classics as Spamalot, Highway Kings, and Chain Reactors. 

Softswiss: Providing a one-stop solution for gaming websites, Softswiss offers a range of products to suit online gaming needs. These range from game aggregators to a sportsbook platform, an affiliate marketing management platform, and even crypto casino software.

 

Microgaming: With 800+ games and branded games like Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones, Microgaming is a good place to start. It is also one of the older players started in 1994 with a very diverse portfolio. They offer super easy onboarding and seamless integration. Isoft bet 

NEtent: Providing a plethora of gaming options since 1996, NEtent has a vast knowledge of the industry and can help you find the best setup for you. Their setups are secure, offer fair gambling and even bonuses. 

Arcades 

Free Arcade Script: This site offers free scripts to create your own online arcade as well as a forum to get help and advice from. It’s relatively straightforward and easy to use with a full administrative panel, user accounts, links, categories, etc. 

AV Arcade: While not free AV Arcade costs $39.99 for a single license. Five licenses cost $64.99. It comes with plenty of social media help, an AJAX-powered admin system, and a built-in rating system. Choose from four fun designs templates. 

MyArcade Plugin: MyArcade Plugin integrates with WordPress, making it super easy to use. It costs only $20 and comes with over 70,000 arcade game options. These games are from 12 distributors. Because it uses WordPress it is very customizable with hundreds of plugins to make your site unique. 

Arcade Booster: This is another free script that’s mobile-friendly and supports iOS, Android, Flash, and Unity 3D. There are plenty of designer mobile-responsive themes and templates, a powerful admin panel and caching and CDN system, as well as a multi-tier trading traffic system. 

Launching an online gaming site has never been easier. It’s a nice way to supplement your income and learn more about the gaming industry. There are plenty of choices too. If on the other hand, the only thing you are interested in is to dive into the games, there are options in the best online casinos in Ireland where you can find a great number of online games.

September Sizzlers: New Game Releases 2021

Even though the year is halfway through, there are plenty of new 2021 games to look forward to between September and December. The start of 2021 was a little quiet at first, but that provided us with the opportunity to notice a few unexpected hits like Valheim and Loop Hero and to get in a few live dealer games on the Blackjack table. 

Now that the summer is almost over and the E3 announcements are no longer fresh in our minds, we’re starting to look ahead to some of the most anticipated releases of 2021. Some of this year’s most anticipated games have been pushed back from earlier in the year to this autumn and holiday season, which isn’t as sad now that we’re getting closer to that time.

 

There are many re-titles among these new releases, including two from Sega to commemorate the Sonic and Super Monkey Ball anniversaries, and Rockstar Games is keen to sell Grand Theft Auto 5 to everyone again. Even though Sony and Microsoft’s new consoles were released about a year ago, this roster is notable for its absence of current-gen exclusives. But that doesn’t mean the lineup isn’t as action-packed as an Expendables film! So, let’s get cracking with previewing some of the latest upcoming releases.

Valheim Hearth and Home Update

The release date for Valheim Hearth and Home has been confirmed. On September 16, the first significant update for the Viking-themed survival game was released. Those of you eager to learn more have come to the right place; we’ve gone through all of the teasers, videos, and developer updates from the past few months. To give you an idea, the Valheim Hearth and Home update will offer us a tonne of gold, a cute little oven, and an onion garden, to name just a few things. Also, a raven or a horse may or may not be present (those bits are still unclear).

Eastward

Eastward transports you back to the days of VHS anime in the 1980s, when you could immerse yourself in a secretive and unique medium that you couldn’t find anywhere else. Players take on the roles of John and Sam and must travel Eastward (whoa, that’s the title!) through a bizarre and surreal realm. Unfortunately, while the characters and narrative have a lot of heart and carry the story to its conclusion; the combat, puzzles and boss encounters fall short.

A fantastic tune serves as an excellent backdrop to the pixel-perfect visuals, creating a whimsical and captivating ambience for this quirky RPG that openly pays homage to titles such as Earthbound. In addition, there’s an entire game called Earth Born inside Eastward, complete with its own (in-game cash) gacha system, that’s a lot of fun to play when you need a break from the main tale.

Diablo 2: Resurrected

It’s official: Diablo 2 will be remastered in the form of Diablo 2: Resurrected after 20 years. And we finally have a release date for Diablo 2: Resurrected, September 23, 2021.

 

Blizzard hopes to maintain the essence of the original Diablo 2, but with enhanced graphics, Dolby 7.1 surround sound, and other crucial quality-of-life enhancements. You’ll be able to choose between the upgraded graphics and the original sprite-based textures, just like in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. We enjoyed the game throughout its technical alpha and latest beta, and we’re looking forward to seeing it in its final form in a few days.

Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality

With the release of two new video games, including a first-person experience featuring both the Tenth and Thirteenth Doctors, the worlds of Doctor Who are about to expand. Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality, which is coming to consoles and PCs, reimagines and builds upon last year’s VR experience, Doctor Who: The Edge of Time. It will feature the voices of Jodie Whittaker and David Tennant.

The game from digital entertainment studio Maze Theory – produced in partnership with BBC Studios – will see the player team up with the Doctor(s) to uncover a universe-spanning threat and work to save reality from a series of time-breaking glitches, continuing the story that began in The Edge of Time. Along with new monsters, fans may expect to see old villains such as the Daleks, Weeping Angels, and Cybermen make cameo appearances.

The Amazing American Circus

The Most Important Hardware for a New Gaming Laptop

Buying a gaming laptop is an exciting time in a gamer’s life, and choosing the right laptop is not a decision that you should take lightly. We all know that a proper gaming laptop is not going to be cheap. In fact, if you’re hoping to spend less than $800, you’re probably in for a nasty surprise unless you find discounted laptops and notebooks for sale. The best gaming laptops are all well over the $1000 mark. It is possible to find a decent one priced at around $1000, but you’re going to have to do your research.
Remember, this is not the same type of laptop that you would normally use to play casino games with the best Canadian online casino bonuses, nor is it the same type of laptop that you would use to get your social media fix, or to prepare PowerPoint presentations. This is a machine that is going to need some serious chops to be able to render the full effect of all the incredible games that you no doubt desire to play.

The Graphics Card

The first thing that you need to look at when you’re comparing gaming laptops is the GPU. The GPU is the graphics card, and as far as hardware is concerned, it is arguably the most important. With a high-quality GPU, you will be able to enjoy your games in all their graphic glory. Your games will perform better, which means your overall enjoyment of the gaming experience will be better than it would with a low-quality GPU. You might be able to get away with spending less than $1000 on the laptop itself, but only if you choose one with a decent GPU like the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. Keep in mind that unlike storage and memory, the GPU cannot be upgraded at a later date, so you need to get it right first time.

The Processor

Another element that you will not be bale to change is the processor. We recommend looking for a laptop with eighth- or ninth-generation Intel Core i7. In addition, look out for the K line of processors. The i7 processors actually differ from one another, and for gaming you’ll get more power from the K line. The GPU and processor will be why your laptop is not cheap, but you can cut costs in other areas, such as the touchpad, keyboard, and multicoloured keyboard backlights. You’ll be using a game controller or a mouse most of the time, and multicoloured keys are only useful if you’re playing in the dark.

The RAM

For optimum gaming, you’ll need at least 8GB of memory. But in reality, you’ll want 16GB. Your GPU and CPU will need as much RAM as you can give them. Basically, the RAM itself does not affect your laptop’s performance per se, but it does affect your GPU because the higher the RAM, the more detail your GPU will be able to render. This means you’ll get better quality graphics during gameplay. RAM also has an impact on the CPU because is controls how much of the game can be stored in order to process it more quickly.
So, there you have it: GPU, CPU, and RAM. The three element that you need to have sorted if you to enjoy your new gaming laptop to the full. Even if money is no object, you’re still going to need to pay close attention to these elements. You could easily spend over $4000 and still end up buying a laptop that doesn’t have good specs, so pay attention and don’t let a savvy sales dude talk you into buying a dud.
