Show Notes Anexinet Infrastructure Modernization Podcast: What is Social Listening? (and what it isn’t) Episode 74 Chris is joined by Ariana Patrick and Anne Erickson from Anexinet to discuss Social Listening. Most companies today are already performing monitoring of their own social channels. However, there are many conversations happening organically across the internet that can provide deeper consumer insights. Social listening allows companies to collect, aggregate, and analyze these conversations to better prepare for a viral event or future crisis, understand competition, inform market research, and more.  Host Chris Hayner, Enterprise Architect, Anexinet Guests Ariana Patrick, Manager, Social Listening, Anexinet Anne Ericson, Manager, Social Listening, Anexinet Audio Editor Dustin Karrat Music Credits lophiile: Preach djscoutmusic@gmail.com https://soundcloud.com/lophiile Twitter/Instagram: @lophiile  About Us The Anexinet Infrastructure Modernization Podcast is a product of Anexinet.

Show Notes Anexinet Infrastructure Modernization Podcast: Data-Centric Security with Racktop Episode 73 Racktop Lead Solutions Architect Dave Hughes joins the program to discuss Data-Centric Security concepts. He and Vic Simon (Sr. Solutions Architect here at Anexinet) discuss Racktop's history, as well as the history of bulk file storage in general. There is a lot of similarity between products in the NAS space; Racktop aims to change that by bringing security to the table as the number 1 priority. Their 'Cyberstorage' component (which is built-in to the software) provides significant benefits to understanding user traffic and determining the valid traffic from the invalid/dangerous traffic. Dave and Vic also discuss the flexibility in deployment that the Racktop platform provides, as well as the 90-day free trial program (supported by Racktop engineers) that Racktop runs. This flexibility enables companies of any size or geography to start realizing the benefits of a Secure Data Storage product almost immediately.  Host Chris Hayner, Enterprise Architect, Anexinet Guests Dave Hughes, Lead Solutions Architect, Racktop Vic Simon, Sr. Solutions Architect, Anexinet Audio Editor Dustin Karrat Music Credits lophiile : Preach djscoutmusic@gmail.com https://soundcloud.com/lophiile Twitter/Instagram: @lophiile  About Us The Anexinet Infrastructure Modernization Podcast is a product of Anexinet.
