In a conventional architecture, antivirus and anti-malware solutions are essential for safeguarding and hardening against malicious attacks. The problem is that antivirus programs can be quite resource-intensive, diverting substantial computing resources away to handle malware scans. On a physical machine, this may only use a modest percentage of total computing performance capacity. On agent-based virtual machine configurations, however, this computing resource drain is often multiplied.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/agentless-antivirus-vs-agent-based-antivirus/) [31 March 2020 — 5 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 8: Hyper-V Linux: The benefits and limitations](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) Hyper-V Linux: The benefits and limitations In my 20+ years of experience in the IT industry, I’ve seen few—if any—clients who use a Windows environment exclusively.

In the traditional IT environment, a network switch (also called switching hub or bridging hub) is defined as a piece of hardware that utilizes packet switching to receive, process and forward data between devices within a computer network. Today, with the global rise of server virtualization, traditional network switches are being gradually replaced with software-defined network controllers (SDN switches) that rely on the code as opposed to network bridges and hardware.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-is-an-sdn-switch/) [31 March 2020 — 5 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 10: Top 10 benefits of multicloud](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Top 10 benefits of multicloud With all the hype about private, public and hybrid clouds in business computing, the concept of multi cloud for IT services often gets left behind.
