DH Technologies, the premier enterprise technology provider, has announced that they have become certified as part of The Open Trusted Technology Provider Standard (O-TTPS) – ISO/IEC 20243:2015 through The Open Group O-TTPS Certification Program.

The O-TTPS is an open standard containing a set of organizational guidelines, requirements, and recommendations for integrators, providers, and component suppliers to enhance the security of the global supply chain and the integrity of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) information and communication technology (ICT). This standard when adequately adhered helps assure against maliciously tainted and counterfeit products throughout the COTS ICT product life cycle encompassing the following phases: design, sourcing, build, fulfillment, distribution, sustainment, and disposal.

“The Open Trusted Technology Provider Standard (O-TTPS) was developed in response to a changing landscape and the increased sophistication of cybersecurity attacks worldwide. It consists of guidelines, requirements, and testing to align with best practices for global supply chain security. This standard also ensures the integrity of commercial-off-the-shelf information and communication technology”, says Andrew Josey, VP Standards and Certification, The Open Group.

The ISO 20243:2015 specifies the procedures to be utilized by an assessor when conducting a conformity assessment of the mandatory requirements in the Open Trusted Technology Provider Standard (O-TTPS).

What does it mean to be strategically rowdy?

You have to think about things differently. You have to look at things in their most basic form and try to get a better understanding. Question why it is the way it is. I was taught to not blindly follow rules but to get a better understanding of the purpose of the rule. Unfortunately, we all get hung up on hearsay and bad information, and it creates a bias that is difficult to overcome. You most certainly CAN NOT do business as usual.

Being strategically rowdy means you have to anticipate the future! Think critically! Rebuke biases and current beliefs; both your own and your customers. Interpret the information at your disposal and look for opposing views. Get someone to challenge your way of thinking so you can see different perspectives. Educate yourself so you can be prepared. Then go back and educate yourself again and again! All of these things combined are an unorthodox way of thinking. It’s ok to be different. Finally, you have to take a stance! This is where the rowdiness comes in. You can’t stand short in a tall crowd. You can’t be silent in a group of people. You can’t watch as the pitch goes sailing past you. Be noticed! Be passionate! Be a disruptor! Get the word out! Be rowdy! Just don’t be rude!

We carefully orchestrated moves in the first couple years of business as DH Tech, starting with the right technologies. We then focused on ensuring we have the right government contract vehicles for our customers. We keep looking toward the future. Maybe you can challenge our way of thinking or educate us on the next great thing. Either way, we are proud of being rowdy and encouraging creativity. All these attributes have contributed to our growth and success.

Why be strategically rowdy?

Thinking like this has earned us multiple accolades such as CRN’s #1 spot on Fast Growth 150, CRN’s 2018, 2017, and 2016 Solution Provider 500, NVIDIA’s 2017 Federal Partner of the Year and Washington Business Journal’s 2016 Top Small Technology Companies list. In 2018 as our list continues to grow, so do the many great things yet to come. We are hiring! If this sounds like something you want to be a part of apply for a position. You can be part of our creativity! Contact Us

As 2017 slowly recedes in the rearview mirror, it’s a good time to take a look at what we can expect in the coming year on the hyperconvergence front. In short, it’s looking like an exciting year with a lot of forward momentum. Here’s what you can look forward to.

Fast Adoption

Perhaps the biggest trend this year will be the rapid adoption of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) implementations. There’s plenty of data to back that up.

For instance, a report from Network World states that HCI is the “largest segment of software-defined storage.” Software-defined storage (SDS) is the type of fast storage used in HCI. SDS, the article says, “… boasts a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.6% and revenues that are forecast to hit $7.15 billion in 2021, according to research firm IDC.”

Eric Burgener, research director for storage at IDC, was quoted as saying that “HCI is the fastest growing market of all the multi-billion-dollar storage segments.”

Spiceworks’ 2018 “State of IT” report finds similar good news, with a near doubling of companies stating that they’ll be using hyperconvergence within the next year. Currently, according to Spiceworks’ data, 23% of companies currently use hyperconvergence, while a near-identical amount — 22% — plan on moving to HCI by year’s end. That is very significant.

State Government Usage

One group warming quickly to the benefits of HCI is state government. According to a story on the StateTech website, HCI is poised to be very disruptive. “Hyperconvergence combines computer, storage, network and virtualization onto a single platform from a single vendor, which cuts back on the complexities of a multivendor environment, offering local governments less expensive, easier to manage and more scalable IT infrastructures,” the story states.

It’s already happening, in fact, and is already “transforming local governments on a smaller scale.”  Alan Shark, executive director and CEO of the Public Technology Institute, understands why: “Now, suddenly, your mainframe can sit there in a fraction of the space and perform faster, better, with mirror backups built in,” he says. “This will be a game changer because, ultimately, it requires less energy, less hardware, takes up less space and is far more efficient.”

Healthcare Uptake

The healthcare industry is another field that’s discovering the joys of HCI and causing its popularity to bloom. The website HIT Infrastructure reports that admins understand that HCI will “consolidate IT systems,” ultimately leading to dramatic cost savings.

“Hyper-convergence makes it easier for IT administrators to manage their key resources using virtual machines. HCI is also scalable and uses less physical resources to cut back on costs,” the story says, adding that “The more solutions organizations add to their health IT infrastructure, the more entities will be looking to downsize physical hardware without compromising functionality.”

Moving to the Edge

Edge computing is getting a lot of attention and is poised to break through in 2018. In Edge computing, the compute and storage devices are placed closer to the endpoints, to reduce the latency inherent in cloud environments. An example might be a self-driving car, which can’t wait for data to be uploaded and downloaded to the cloud to make the nearly instantaneous decisions necessary. Thus, an edge device might be located in a busy city intersection, doing the real-time work there instead of in the cloud.

Hyperconvergence makers are starting to develop systems for these kinds of scenarios, offering the advantages of integrated hardware, software and management matched to the needs of the emerging Edge computing field.

“Accelerated computing is a fast-growing market segment in the worldwide server market.

It is growing far quicker than the overall single-digit growth forecast for the server market out to 2021, according to IDC. IDC is forecasting the worldwide accelerated computing infrastructure revenue will grow from $2.5 billion in 2016 to $6.8 billion in 2021, a CAGR of 21.9%.

The on-premises portion of this market is forecast to grow from $1.6 billion in 2016 to $3.4 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 16.3%. IDC expects an increasing portion of this market to be served by new form factors, including desktops and workstations.”
