Multipolar Technology together with IBM held the “Unlock Unstructured Data to Drive Business Value” Webinar on October 7. The highlighted solution is IBM Cloud Object Storage.

IBM Cloud Object Storage (ICOS) makes it possible to store unlimited amounts of data easily and save costs.  ICOS is generally used for data archiving and backup, with a fast backup restore speed because it uses disk as a device, both for web and mobile applications.  Class tier storage ICOS which is flexible & has a policy-based archive allows users to manage the costs incurred (according to their company’s needs) for accessing data.

ICOS is suitable for unstructured data such as audio, video, music and multimedia which can be further processed to assist business decision-making processes.

Business innovations must be able to provide added value and a personalized customer experience. There are many things to prepare, not only in terms of data but also API lifecycle management, integration between applications, Enterprise Messaging, Event Streams, fast file transfers and security systems that must be considered carefully.

On the other hand, with the many systems in use, challenges arise in rapidly integrating complex business processes into a simpler, more scalable and easily accessible one. All of these data must also be presented in a dashboard that is easy to understand for the user, making it easier to make decisions to accelerate business growth.

Responding to these challenges, Multipolar Technology and IBM collaborated on “Integration Made Simple in Today’s Speed of Business” Webinar last October 1. The solution that was delivered was the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I).  CP4I is the most complete hybrid integration platform designed to support the scalability, security and flexibility required for digital transformation.

Nowadays, companies that implement a system of working from home or remotely for their employees is not few. When companies implement this system,  remote access for employees must be prioritized so that productivity is maintained and the business continues to be smooth, safe and comfortable.

On the other hand, this opens a security loophole that is easily infiltrated, because the device used for access is not guaranteed to be virus or malware free.  It is also not guaranteed whether the user is authorized to access the data accordingly.

Multipolar Technology and F5 held “Create a Secure & Encrypted Connection” Webinar on  September 17. This webinar discussed about F5 SLL, which is a solution that can protect against security breaches when working outside the office or remote working.  With this F5 technology, employees who work from home don’t have to worry about accessing company features that would normally only be opened using office internet access.

On the 10th of September, MLPT and IBM held “Enable the Next Generation of IT Infrastructure” Webinar. This webinar discussed solutions on IBM Software-Defined Storage (SDS) and IBM Utility Storage.

IBM Software-Defined Storage (SDS) makes it  easy for companies to:

• Work smarter
• Achieve agile storage consumption
• Gain control and efficiency
• Acquire real-time scalability

IBM Utility Storage allows companies to enjoy storage services with a pay-per-use system according to the capacity needed. Apart from being profitable, this also prevents companies from investing in storage with excess capacity.

MLPT, together with HPE, collaborated with InfoKomputer in holding a CXO Forum titled, “New Normal: The Era of Consumption-Based IT Model” on the 2nd of September with CFO and IT Head participants.

This webinar discussed HPE GreenLake. HPE GreenLake is not a product or solution, but a business scheme where customers can invest in IT with a pay-per-use payment system. This means that users of this service are only charged according to usage as in the public cloud, but the device can be on-premise.

With the HPE GreenLake business scheme, companies can increase and decrease capacity according to future budgets. So, the company will not be bound by a procurement contract, because HPE GreenLake is flexible and efficient.

Public Cloud is the latest technological “Game Changer” (biggest and fastest impacter) in this decade, because it is dynamically able to answer all of those challenges. In addition, it can also provide the highest Available-Reliable-Security level, with minimal investment.

Multipolar Technology held the “Availability, Reliability and Security Assurance in Public Cloud” Webinar on 6 August. Here are some of the advantages of the Cloud:

• Using the OPEX payment system (no upfront investment)
• Pay according to usage (pay-per-use)
• Fast and easy implementation
• Has  guaranteed security system and devices

The COVID-19 pandemic  is often used by hackers to break into security holes and steal corporate data. This is one the reason Multipolar Technology and Fortinet held  Securing your No. 1 Vulnerabilities webinar on July 20.

Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall with strong unified threat management (UTM) capabilities and is supported by a team who are capable of handling the latest threat attacks.  Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a network product that is devoted in handling network security functions with powerful features and also as an SD-WAN box (without a license).

Fortinet FortiGate is able to ensure the protection of corporate data in one device, making it easy to manage and saving maintenance costs.

• Easy to manage & configureFortiOS and FortiView make it easy to configure and monitor all network traffic
• Comprehensive protectionFortiGate and FortiGuard provide comprehensive security services that are recognized by the independent NSS Labs
• Reliable performanceFortiAsic allows the FortiGate system to detect and remove integrated threats in real time, even on a complex scale  without reducing network performance

Multipolar Technology participated in the IBM Virtual Cloud Forum on July 16-17 by bringing the IBM Cloud Pak for Data solution.  ICPD is a data platform that can modernize the collecting, organizing, analyzing all company data and applying Artificial Intelligence (AI).   With ICPD finding and accessing data becomes easier so that it can increase productivity and be more effective.

Even though this exhibition was conducted virtually participants still experienced offline events. Customers can participate in main sessions, technical product sessions and c visit virtual booths.  At the booths, customers can interact via live chat with the Presales team.

Network devices that grow from tens to hundreds of branches spread across various locations make management more complex, time consuming,  and require more resources.  Because of this need, MLPT recommends the Cisco Meraki solution to simplify branch network management. Through  Configure, Manage, and Secure Your Network Anywhere webinar on July 14, MLPT and Cisco thoroughly discussed network problems experienced by most companies with several branches spread across Indonesia.

Cisco Meraki makes device configuration easy,  which can be done anywhere via cloud services (via a website or application on smartphone) and monitoring dashboard. Cisco Meraki combined with Cisco Umbrella Security is able to provide protection to many locations and remote workers wherever they are connected to the internet.
