The challenges are both technical and non-technical, and include the physical challenge of moving vast amounts of data to the cloud, ...

Serverless computing represents one more step on the path away from cumbersome monolithic applications to more agile software approaches that speed development and deployment time. Such “cloud-native” applications are designed to leverage the flexible infrastructure of the cloud by abstracting application logic from the underlying server hardware. ...

The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market remains highly active worldwide, having reached an astounding U$45.6 Billion in revenues in 2018.

To help customers optimize thei...

The edge appears to be everywhere these days. Industry pundits and vendors talk about edge computing and edge networking, edge devices, and edge security. But what are we all talking about? Definitions of “the edge” bring to mind the fable about the blind men describing an elephant. Each description reflects the provider’s limited perspective. Al...

Despite having different economies, key countries in LATAM are experiencing similar momentum in the cloud. Enterprises from all segments no longer see price as a primary factor when choosing a cloud provider. Nor do they perceive security as a restraint to cloud migration; instead they are concerned with how they can lower security risks once they’...
