Introduction A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based computer that exists within another computer’s operating system, often used for the purposes of testing, backing up data, or running SaaS applications. Leveraging virtualization and cloud computing for your organization Today, many major businesses are hiring IT professionals to upgrade their computing models. Many qualified systems engineers…
Introduction Both Docker and Kubernetes are open cloud-native technologies. And, major cloud service providers support components of both Docker and Kubernetes in their managed offerings. The difference between the two is that Docker is about packaging containerized applications on a single node and Kubernetes is meant to run them across a cluster. Since these packages…
Introduction A data center — also known as a datacenter or data centre — is a facility composed of networked computers, storage systems and computing infrastructure that organizations use to assemble, process, store and disseminate large amounts of data. A business typically relies heavily on the applications, services and data contained within a data center,…
Introduction Cloud load balancing is the process of distributing workloads across computing resources in a cloud computing environment and carefully balancing the network traffic accessing those resources. Load balancing enables organizations to meet workload demands by routing incoming traffic to multiple servers, networks or other resources, while improving performance and protecting against disruptions in services.…
Introduction A cloud instance is a virtual machine that runs your workloads in the cloud. An instance is much like a physical server. However, it is not dependent on hardware or one single data center location. You use a cloud platform to provision the instances remotely. Some cloud computing platforms include AWS, Google Cloud, and…
Introduction In the cloud, there’s almost infinite access to resources for computing, storage, and networking, allowing all kinds of applications to be scaled exactly the way a business needs. But it’s important to constantly measure and test the performance of these applications in the cloud. Performance is the key to a trouble-free communications environment –…
In cloud computing, multitenancy means that multiple customers of a cloud vendor are using the same computing resources. Despite the fact that they share resources, cloud customers aren’t aware of each other, and their data is kept totally separate. Multitenancy is a crucial component of cloud computing; without it, cloud services would be far less…
Quantum Computing Currently, computers are made with silicon transistors. These transistors are getting smaller and more powerful with each passing year. However, there is a physical limit to this technology. In these types of circuits, if the conductors are too close to each other, electrons can bounce between them. Moreover, if a transistor is too…

Introduction In many ways, the security threats facing today’s traditional data center environments overlap with those of a cloud computing environment. On both sides, cybercriminals aim to take advantage of vulnerabilities found in software. That said, cloud computing introduces another element in that the responsibility of addressing and mitigating those risks is split between the…
