What?

Let’s be fair, the tech industry doesn’t have great ‘green’ credentials. Just consider these areas:  power consumption, the use of toxic ubstances, over-packaging, air conditioning and product life cycle. Dismal, eh? But times are changing. More and more, companies recognise the need to go ‘green’ to save the planet (and avoid being taxed to the hilt!).

Unified Threat Management.

What’s that got to do with the environment? More than you think. UTM places a number of security appliances into a single package. This reduces infrastructure requirements thereby reducing power consumption, hardware and all the other bits that go with it. The ability to add futher components to UTM increases its ‘greeness’. Just think, virtualised UTM - save yourself some big bucks.

Will companies ‘get it’?

Probably. The virtualisation of whole environments saves huge sums of money. Add UTM to the mix and any company/person specialising in these areas is onto a winner - time to brush up on your skillset?
