Oct 27, 2026 By Laura Shafer In 11:11 Systems
I’ve spent the last few months knee-deep in the findings from our 2027 State of IT Infrastructure Resilience study, drawing on them to write our just-released eBook. It explores how converging cost pressures, platform changes, artificial intelligence, and cyber threats are reshaping IT priorities. IT teams are being asked to handle a lot at once: rising costs, platform decisions, AI plans, and the need to keep critical services protected and recoverable.

Smart factories need stronger foundations

Oct 27, 2026 By Keely Wilson In 11:11 Systems
Manufacturers are investing heavily in smarter, more connected operations. Automation, AI, cloud platforms, connected production lines and real-time data are giving teams better visibility across the factory and helping them make faster decisions. For many manufacturers, these investments are now tied directly to competitiveness, productivity and future growth. On the factory floor, that dependency becomes visible very quickly.

Oct 20, 2026 By Scott Gray In 11:11 Systems
The quick answer: A disaster recovery (DR) plan is only a hypothesis until it’s tested under real conditions. Regular, scoped DR and cyber recovery testing, covering people, dependencies, data, and systems, exposes the gaps that a written plan can’t reveal. 11:11 Systems helps IT and business continuity leaders validate recovery readiness before a real incident forces the issue. Think of a DR plan like a fire escape map taped to the back of a hotel room door.

Why Smarter Factories Can Create Greater Operational Risk

Why Smarter Factories Can Create Greater Operational Risk

Oct 19, 2026 By Sean Tilley, Senior Director of Sales for EMEA In 11:11 Systems
The manufacturing industry has undergone a remarkable transition. Factories that once relied on largely isolated systems and manual processes have evolved into highly connected environments, where cloud platforms, industrial technologies, data and third-party services work together to keep production moving. The benefits are clear, with greater connectivity helping manufacturers to increase efficiency and productivity, while better access to data gives teams the insights that they need to optimise operations and make faster, more informed decisions.

Beyond Renew or Replatform: A Fourth Option for VMware Customers

Oct 5, 2026 By Mac McClenathan In 11:11 Systems
A customer tells you they want off VMware. They have seen the headlines, looked at the latest renewal, and decided it is time to evaluate Nutanix, Proxmox, public cloud, or another virtualization platform. The opportunity appears straightforward: help them select an alternative and build the migration plan. But what if leaving VMware isn’t actually the best answer? A platform move is risky, time-consuming, and expensive.
