Internet Bandwidth – The New Bottleneck
Since the very beginning of computers, bottlenecks developed. After one part of the system was made faster, another component could no longer keep up. Throughout the years this has mainly been a battle between the CPU, memory, and hard disk. However, now that more and more applications have moved to the cloud, a new bottleneck has emerged – internet bandwidth. Video games were one of my very first uses for computers when I was a kid. A trivial pursuit, however, it quickly taught me an important lesson about computing. Once one bottleneck is removed, a new one will always
Will Your Cloud Be Ready When Opportunity Knocks?
Real cloud computing is more than just a virtual machine running in a remote data center somewhere. Cloud computing should allow applications to scale and give the perception of infinite resources. When cloud applications fail to scale, that means a business opportunity is lost and money is left on the table. Time is money. This holds true for many reasons in a cloud infrastructure and scalability is the answer. When client requests surge, every request that a cloud infrastructure cannot accept is a loss in revenue. It’s not only a lost opportunity, but sometimes it results in a poor
Agile Cloud Apps Create Rapid Deployment
Software Engineers Now Design For The Cloud Whenever cloud is mentioned, usually it is discussed in terms of the consumer’s benefits. Cloud applications allow end users access their data anywhere, collaborate more effectively, and so on. However, the cloud is seldom promoted for what it can do for an engineering organization. Gone are the troublesome, old days of trying to figure out what features are going to fit into a release. No more worrying about slipping a date and not shipping valuable features that clients want and need because of one unrelated bug. Once software engineering organizations embrace the cloud,
