Datto unveils cloud-managed ethernet switches and secure remote access solutions
Datto has launched its second-generation family of cloud managed switches, along with expansion of the early access for its secure remote access solution, Datto Secure Edge. Additionally, Datto is giving partners new ways to purchase its networking gear. Now, MSPs and SMEs can choose to buy Datto networking solutions with an up-front payment option for hardware coupled with a support service subscription, or put zero down, and have the hardware cost spread out and added to the service subscription. Designed for easy and efficient remote management, Datto switches are all cloud- managed and can be set up and running within minutes. Datto switches come in low, medium and high-density configurations, and include scalable power over ethernet on all copper ports, which eliminates the need for additional and costly power runs or injectors to power endpoints, such as wireless access points, IP cameras, smart lights, point-of-sale systems and more. Four new models are: l DSW100-8P-2G, which includes 8 GbE
copper ports, and 2 SFP optical ports l DSW100-24P-4X, which includes 24 GbE copper ports, and 4 SFP+ optical ports l DSW100-48P-4X, which includes 48 GbE copper ports, and 4 SFP+ optical ports l DSW250-8P-2X, which includes 8 2.5GbE copper ports, and 2 SFP+ optical ports Datto switches complement their existing line of Wi-Fi access points, which support the latest high-performance Wi-Fi 6 standard, as well as their integrated secure router, which provides comprehensive firewall and routing needed for small- to medium-sized businesses. Datto has also expanded global availability of its cloud-based secure remote access solution, Datto Secure Edge, which gives workers next- generation firewall protection from the cloud and advanced networking capabilities needed for today’s SaaS work environments. SaaS and web-based applications often suffer from slow response times when working outside the corporate office. Datto Secure Edge improves latency issues by prioritising SaaS and business application traffic to ensure remote and hybrid workers enjoy a seamless experience while on the road or at home.

Umbraco launches UK data hosting option
Open-source CMS provider Umbraco has launched a UK regional hosting option to support Umbraco Cloud platform users. UK regional hosting is designed to support digital agencies that are developing websites and digital services on Umbraco Cloud, for clients whose data cannot leave the UK. The expanded regional hosting options will allow agencies the flexibility to select whether their Umbraco Cloud projects, data and environments are stored and served in the UK, Western Europe, or the US. The UK regional hosting option makes it easier for British organisations to start, develop and maintain Umbraco Cloud projects, with the reassurance that data will be stored within their own jurisdiction, in compliance with UK data privacy laws. Umbraco Cloud’s managed hosting infrastructure provides 24/7 service monitoring, automatic patching and single-click feature upgrades, allowing development teams to focus on creating their Umbraco CMS projects. “At the beginning of last year, Umbraco
Cloud was exclusively hosted within Microsoft Azure’s Western European region,” said Filip Bech-Larsen, CTO, Umbraco. “As more of our partners have moved to Umbraco Cloud to develop and host their projects, we saw that we needed to expand the regional hosting options to meet the data privacy requirements of countries outside of Europe. We added the US regional hosting option last September. The increased requirement for data sovereignty led a number of our partners to request that Umbraco Cloud also be locally hosted in the UK. The new hosting region provides companies with the reassurance that their information will be stored on servers located within the UK’s borders, with a provider that is compliant with UK data legislation. “Speed matters, and by providing access to a UK hosting option, Umbraco Cloud is now even faster for our UK-based customers. This not only improves service for the end customer but also accelerates development, meaning faster time to market and a better user experience.”
