Autoscaling in the cloud can ensure organizations always have resources, but sometimes it's a lazy and expensive decision.
To optimize your multicloud architecture, know what your business specifically needs, and avoid the trap of 'vendor think.'
As enterprises work on their green cred, cloud providers step up to provide more green power. Doing good for the planet also comes with doing well in the market.
It’s a good time to understand how 5G impacts cloud computing. Specific use cases will benefit the most, but for many, it won't make much difference.
As so many enterprises move to multicloud, the debate continues about its validity as an architectural solution, especially regarding complexity and lock-in.
Set up a cloud business office, automate where possible, and provide visibility into your cloud agreements.
New best practices support defining cloud solutions from the outside in to take advantage of the strengths of cloud computing.
Interest is growing in cloud computing’s ability to reduce carbon, but the ‘green cloud’ argument is not as clear as many believe.
As the cost and efficiency of traditional on-premises solutions become more attractive, compare the two options carefully to find the best one.
As edge computing becomes more widespread, many are experiencing unexpected operational challenges.
Data everywhere may be the future of cloud-native and edge computing deployments, but the possibilities come with expense and management issues.
Fine-tune your career satisfaction with positions that offer appreciation, growth opportunities, work flexibility, and money, too.
Governance can save you from bankruptcy after a data breach or keep day-to-day costs from spinning out of control. It pays to understand it.
As we push more data to the cloud, avoidable mistakes are hampering migration. The biggest culprit: messy data with inadequate security and integration.
Instead of tossing money at performance issues, take a second look at how to manage and optimize cloud computing performance.
Enterprise cloud projects pour unnecessary amounts of cash down the drain. Here are a few causes and some tips to avoid waste.
People and culture prevent many businesses from capturing the true value of cloud computing. Transforming organizational culture and revamping KPIs can help.
How does cloud computing factor in to the metaverse? Here are some thoughts before you put on your VR glasses and buy digital real estate.
The term ‘cloud native’ is years old, but we don’t agree on what it means and what value it brings.
Enterprises are looking to VDI to make secure remote work possible, hopefully without sacrificing productivity, cost, and security.
Stressed supply chains cause revenue and productivity issues and disrupt our own lives. Whose supply chains are still working well, and what technology are they using?
Low code and no code can be part of a successful cloud solution, but you need the proper protection mechanisms to guard against inadvertent mistakes.
Cloud computing budgets will hit 51% of IT spending by 2025 and will continue to increase beyond that. It’s time to change how we think about cloud.
Although we've called 'continuous intelligence' by different names in the past few decades, the concept is important. Don't be distracted by the label.
The tech press predicted that edge computing would displace cloud computing, but public cloud powerhouses deliver much of today’s edge computing.
Microservices, cloud services, and general-purpose services are fantastic development tools that sometimes get overused. Here are some signs you’ve gone too far.
Wondering how to make your way through the cloud computing training maze? Here’s how to get the most out of training for the least amount of money and time.
We have enough experience with multicloud that there are no more surprises, right? The ideas that multicloud prevents lock-in, is cheaper, and is more resilient are still out there.
Recent survey data indicates that cloud will push traditional enterprise data centers into extinction. However, extinction events are rarely that simple.
Yesterday we built architectures around static requirements that changed slowly. Today's cloud-based configurations need to quickly adapt to growth and change.
After a small decline in 2021, cloud spending is up again, but perhaps not for the reasons we expected, which are often based on faulty assumptions.
This new trend is an old trend. Industry-specific services are now being offered by the big cloud providers, giving companies more benefits with less risk.
Just getting a cloud deployment to work is no longer the goal. Focus on new metrics and approaches to build and deploy an optimal solution.
