The public cloud is at the heart of nearly every digital transformation. Organizations are modernizing their mission-critical applications & running them in the cloud to achieve elasticity and business value. Whether these applications are net new, re-architected, re-platformed, or simply re-hosted, achieving your business goals in the cloud requires a firm commitment to changing mindsets and culture within your IT and Engineering organizations. 

Cloud application optimization is beyond human scale.

Today, we're going to look at a real-world case study that demonstrates how to roll out smarter resourcing for cloud-based apps and the impact this has on solving key challenges like cultural change and embracing automation.

Is your company looking for ways to work smarter in the ever-changing world? For many businesses, the cloud offers the solutions they’re looking for.

An Azure Resource Group is a required grouping for all your Azure VMs. In this post, we’ll look into what this group structure actually means – and how you can use it for better governance and resource management for your infrastructure.

The overwhelming complexity of multicloud has created well-known challenges for organizations as they implement new technologies. Despite these obstacles, the pressure to deliver seamless customer experiences has never been higher. And while assuring application performance is top of mind for all IT and business leaders, organizations don’t have an unlimited budget to do so. Application performance must be managed economically, which is why many organizations are looking to third-party platforms to assist them with managing trade-offs between performance, cost, and compliance.

What is the right cloud migration strategy for your business?

Cloud migration is simply the process of moving applications from the current environment to the Cloud. Traditionally, companies have pursued a cloud migration strategy of moving on-premises VMs to the Cloud. However, recently, there is a rise in Cloud to Cloud migration among customers that want to avoid vendor lock-in and adopt a multi-cloud strategy.

Whether you are just testing the waters or well-versed in Cloud computing, Cloud migration is a core process in the global digital transformation that's been accelerated due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to IDC, “COVID-19 accelerated digitization as organizations were forced to innovate rapidly in response to a combination of regulations (e.g., working from home) and a rapidly changing business environment.” (Source: IDC Worldwide Whole Cloud Forecast, 2020-2024.
