In a few years, more edge computing will use mobile networks, no matter if edge is mobile or not. What does this mean for cloud computing?
Taking a minimalist or serverless approach to architecture can keep scalability while trimming unnecessary expenses.
A new study finds what most of us already knew, but we may not be acting accordingly. Essential infrastructure requires essential attention to detail.
They may seem simple, but containers require a whole new architecture skill set. Here’s what you need to know.
Using multicloud to avoid lock-in and going cloud native are on everyone’s list of what will be important this year. But misinformation is everywhere.
Edge computing is hyped as the next destination for cloud computing, but complexity and security may squeeze out some of the benefits.
It’s that time of year to make promises to yourself you’ll never keep. Perhaps these cloud-related improvements will be different.
Multicloud is the way to go these days, but remember that it's a complex, distributed architecture that most are getting wrong.
Most enterprises don’t consider SaaS as much as they should in their cloud journey. That’s a huge mistake.
Moral of the story: Data migration is never simple, cloud or not.
Enterprises are figuring out that edge computing comes with its own set of challenges. Here’s how to work through the most difficult.
As virtual conferences become the new normal, it’s easier to see that cloud is in a creative stall.
Think your cloud apps are fully optimized for performance and cost? Guess again. These three tricks can cut thousands of dollars off cloud service bills and reduce latency.
The writing's been on the wall for awhile now. Data analytics migration to the cloud is now underway and is making on-premises data warehouses obsolete.
We’re seeing a rise in overdose deaths in the U.S. during the pandemic. Perhaps it’s time to leverage cloud technology to address this problem.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Complexity, latency, and network outages may give you pause.
Assigning data storage and processing to specific cloud regions is a good move, but still benefits from centralized control and risk awareness.
With the cloud taking over R&D dollars and IT budgets, traditional systems are being left behind.
Cloud security has been better than on-premises security for several years now. Increased automation and interoperability will cement its position as a best practice.
Most campaigns view polling data, logistics, and demographics as fundamental to winning an election. More likely, data science and cloud computing will win the day.
Now that we’re moving things out to the edge, an emerging approach blows the door off the cloud-only and edge-only models.
Now that operational best practices for cloud computing are well known, why do mistakes keep piling up?
Many thought that COVID-19 would cause the Great Cloud Slowdown; instead, the opposite happened. What will cloud adoption look like when the masks come off?
These days, everyone on the cloud migration team is dispersed all over the city or country. This presents some challenges, but I see more opportunities.
It's clear that cloud computing will continue to grow, but here are three less-obvious aspects to keep on your radar.
Once your cloud architecture works, it’s time to optimize it for efficiency and cost. An audit will reveal how much value it adds to the business.
Many plan to use the same tools from one cloud migration project to the next. A command and control center might give different advice.
Convoluted cloud solutions are a big reason cloud implementations don’t work as hoped.
You may think you know everything about the proper configuration of a cloud computing solution, but cloud providers are keeping a few things to themselves.
