Cloud Edge

July 1, 2017

The cloud promises the efficiency and agility needed in a digital age, but also comes with new levels of IT complexity that, if not properly addressed, can compromise business objectives. This complexity intensifies at the enterprise edge: the branch office and remote office (ROBO) locations that are critical to corporate success, but often hinder cloud and digital strategies due to sprawl, aging infrastructure, inefficient operations, unreliable app performance, and unprotected data. Moreover, with the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), these pain points will only worsen. Adding sensors, gateways, and other connected endpoints further complicates the perimeter IT must defend. And with 30 billion IoT devices expected by 2020, the resulting growth in data generated and stored at the edge will further strain legacy infrastructure and expose the business to increased risk.

The request must identify the Service(s), define the dates, times and durations of Unavailability, along with supporting logs or records that corroborate the Unavailability, and identify the affected users and their locations, as well any technical support requested or remediation implemented.

What is Fully Managed in the Cloud

whitePaper | January 22, 2020

Record numbers of businesses are investing in as-a-Service (XaaS) infrastructures and moving parts (or all) of their IT infrastructure to public clouds. Many of these same businesses are moving their databases to the cloud as part of this trend. Why? The promise of the cloud is easy setup, simplified management, guaranteed availability, and on-demand scalability all at a knowable price with no surprises. In the minds of companies moving their database to the cloud, this translates to a one-and-done decision that comes with a low overhead: database instances, on demand, with little to no oversight or hassle. You probably can even reduce the number of DBAs on staff! But is it true? In reality, cloud providers provide an excellent resource for creating and maintaining cloud database infrastructure, but do not provide the necessary technical expertise that gets the best business value out of your database. It is a company’s responsibility to develop, implement, and optimize the architecture that most serves their business goals.
