Three Industries Where the Cloud Made Operations More Agile

2023-04-10T19:51:44-05:00

We’ve all heard of the proverbial Jack being nimble and quick – and if Jack were one of today’s IT decision-makers, it’s clear that his tool of choice to jump over the candlestick (achieve digital transformation goals) would be the cloud.  In today’s business climate, agility means being able to rise above challenges, meet the needs of your customers, and easily pivot when the time comes. Remember when the global pandemic shut the world down in March 2020? Many businesses survived because they were able to shift with the sudden dramatic change in how people did business.

Everyone — businesses and individuals alike — are extra protective over their wallets these days. Between bank collapses, recession fears and other alarming events, it’s no surprise that people want to keep their money close. In fact, many industry resources are telling us that capital challenges and margin pressures are a leading force of change in business strategy. Still, in a fast-moving world of business evolution, the outflow of money becomes just as important as the inflow — and that puts enterprises in an interesting position. Balancing expenditure on worthy causes that offer better agility, reliability or connectivity with conservative budgeting measures is now paramount, and that means that organizations [...]

Peering at the Edge

2021-11-10T15:36:02-06:00

These days, the IT world is talking non-stop about the edge and its numerous advantages. Between lower latency and improved network performance, edge computing is a recipe for success across multiple industries. While the benefits are clear, the infrastructure that makes it work may not be as obvious. In short, peering has been a huge contributor to the evolution of the edge. As digital transformation continues to grow and change, data needs to be available at more endpoints and get through the network as fast as possible. With that level of growth, a single edge data center may no longer be enough...and that’s where peering at the edge comes in. [...]
