Are you ready for Black Friday? Here's how to avoid data delays during busy periods November has begun and that means Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up, the most intense days for online traffic of the year. For businesses in e-commerce and other sectors, it is vital to be prepared for these peaks. A smooth user experience, without downtime, can make the difference between success and missed opportunities. How do you make sure your data center is ready for the seasonal rush? At Datacenter United, we'd like to help you get started with these four key tips: 1. Plan ahead! Start preparing for Black Friday well in advance. The last thing you want is to have to make last-minute adjustments while customers are using your services. Make sure all your systems are functioning optimally and ready to handle the extra pressure when traffic peaks. A thorough check-up of your infrastructure will prevent surprises at the crucial moment. 2. Make sure your servers can handle the pressure Check that your servers are equipped to handle the expected extra data traffic. Where necessary, consider upgrading hardware or scaling up cloud resources to avoid delays or crashes. It is also important that your network infrastructure performs optimally. After all, you don't want bottlenecks in your network that cause delays or a poor user experience. 3. Don't forget security! During periods of increased traffic, the likelihood of cyber attacks is higher. The last thing you want is a security incident during a crucial moment. Make sure your firewalls are up-to-date and that all your security systems are functioning optimally. This will help keep intruders out and prevent sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. Are you ready for the peak period? At Datacenter United, we know how important this time of year is for your business. We would love to help you prepare your data center optimally for the rush of Black Friday and the holidays.

Change your passwords day: a small step for great security Today is 'Change Your Passwords Day', an important reminder that strong passwords play an important role in protecting your digital infrastructure. At a time when cyber threats are constantly evolving, regularly updating your passwords is a simple but effective measure to ensure the security of your systems and data. Why now is the time to update your passwords Many companies underestimate the risks of weak or outdated passwords. Just one compromise can lead to a chain reaction, with serious consequences for the security of confidential information and the continuity of your business processes. In the 24/7 digital economy, in which we all operate, any time your systems are vulnerable is one too many. Strong passwords, combined with other security measures such as two-factor authentication (2FA), make it significantly harder for hackers to access your sensitive data. Tips for strong passwords: 🔒 Use a password of at least 12 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. 🔒 Avoid obvious words or personal details such as names, dates of birth or addresses. 🔒 Use a unique password for each account, reuse leads to higher risk in case of a data breach. 🔒 Consider using a password manager to securely store complex passwords. Today is the perfect day to take action for this. Have you updated all your passwords? Make your business a digital fortress and make sure you always stay one step ahead of potential threats. Should you need advice on strengthening the security of your data centre and infrastructure, our team is at your service 24/7. Get in touch for more information on how we can help you make your digital environment more secure. https://lnkd.in/dsHYFMjG #datacenterunited #datacenter #connected #safetyfirst #cybersafety

The Gaia-X event in Helsinki on the 14th and 15th of November, where data sovereignty and security within Europe take center stage, will be attended by our CCO Xavier Warnier. "With the nomination of Donald Trump for a new mandate as 47th President of the U.S., potential shifts in global data protection are likely to follow. This reinforces the need for robust, sovereign data infrastructures across Europe. Especially for critical data sectors and datacenters. In Belgium, at Datacenter United,we’re committed to this vision. Our 13 local datacenters, strengthened by our shareholder TINC, CORD and the acquisition of Proximus datacenters, emphasize our dedication to data protection on Belgian ground. Through alignment with Gaia-X standards and a strong local presence, customers and team, we meet the rigorous DORA and NIS2 regulations, safeguarding critical data and ensuring resilience in times of uncertainty. As the global landscape changes, we’re here to reinforce Europe’s and National digital sovereignty.
