It’s a little too easy to get excited about new tech, and it can take some willpower to stop yourself from buying the latest gadgets.

Cloud Computing 5 2018
A variety of vendors share some tips and insight. Organizations continue to adopt cloud computing at a record pace. In a new report, the Cloud Security Alliance notes that more than half of organizations now run 41% or more of their workloads in the public cloud. That compares to 25% of organizations doing the same in 2019. This accelerated shift to such digital transformation, of course, remains fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reliance on remote work. Cloud Security Alliance analysts say adoption will just keep growing. So will the diversity of production workloads and use of different brands. To that latter point, the Cloud Security Alliance said 62% of respondents in its March 2021 study, “State of Cloud Security Concerns, Challenges, and Incidents,” have multiple clouds.

Although saving money is generally not the driving force for such migrations, it doesn't hurt if money is saved along the way for better scaling or reliability, or an end to IT capital expenses. The financial benefits of cloud computing, though not as inevitable as years of hype made folks expect, are real. The following are the top five strategies CIOs can use to reap those cost benefits. 1. Avoid lift and shift It gets easier to shift a workload or a set of integrated workloads into a cloud environment with minimal modification.

However, it will probably come with a cost increase...

In fact, we believe the shift to the public cloud is oversimplified and expect networking firms to pivot their strategic wares to use the cloud as a sturdy growth catalyst. In our view, the hybrid cloud, where enterprises will combine on-premises and cloud infrastructure for workloads, will be the norm. Indeed, networking technology may be undergoing its most radical change since the advent of the Internet. Data is proliferating at an incredible rate, with increased connectivity requirements and distributed networking ecosystems. The solutions enabling faster, higher-quality transmission of services to users and devices anywhere at any time are in the early stages of disruption. From the data center to wireless...
