Nils Swart, Head of Product at Skyport Systems, introduces the company’s entirely cloud managed on-premises virtualization platform. Nils explains that cloud will probably win the bulk of current data center workloads, but they’re designed a secure solution for the ground up for those that must stay on-premises. They’re designed to introduce a simple architecture while not sacrificing security.

Dan Backman, Director Technical Marketing at Skyport Systems, reviews some of the use cases for their solution. This includes how Skyport can be used to build critical IT infrastructure, and mitigate ransomware threats. This bucks the trend of virtualizing everything and trying to treat all apps the same. Skyport maintains that some apps need to be handled fundamentally differently to ensure security.

Skyport Systems: There Is No Branch with Rob Rodgers

Rob Rodgers, Co-Founder and Chief Architect at Skyport Systems, discusses their ideas on remote branches, and how these differ from the traditional compute sense. Remote branches have considerable compute capabilities, and communicate via the network back to a home office. These are more akin to micro data centers and they approach securing them as such. This feeds into their overall message of simplifying management to better increase security.
