Most companies today have multiple cloud instances with multiple cloud service providers (CSPs) as well as an on-premises environment. It’s complex, but that doesn’t make it inherently wrong—there are usually good business reasons behind the decisions. It does, however, create management challenges.
Managing IT infrastructure can be tough, especially when you’re dealing with scattered data, unexpected downtime, and slow problem-solving. The key to overcoming these hurdles is adopting a user-friendly, all-in-one Infrastructure Performance Monitoring (IPM) solution. In this blog, let’s explore how a top-notch IPM system can change the way you handle your IT infrastructure and show you how a cutting-edge IPM platform can address these common issues.
Modern enterprise IT infrastructures are complex beasts. They grow and morph organically over time and have likely undergone one, if not more, significant point-in-time transformations.
For the past couple of years, no one has been able to escape the effects of supply chain problems throughout their personal and professional lives. According to our recent State of Hybrid Cloud Storage survey, storage and the IT equipment that supports storage systems were no exception, and disruptions created extra work and headaches for those teams.
According to Virtana’s recent State of Hybrid Cloud Storage survey, most organizations have a little over half of their storage in the cloud, keeping the rest on premises. But how are they deciding what storage goes where? Is there such a thing as a wrong—or even just sub-optimal—storage placement decision? We dug into the data to answer these questions.
Too often, when organizations migrate workloads to the cloud or build new cloud-native applications, they don’t really think about storage. The cloud provider takes care of all that, right? Well, yes and no. There are cost implications to cloud storage that many don’t adequately anticipate—until they get the bill, that is.
Most sentences that include both on premises and cloud usually put the word “or” between them, or perhaps “vs.” But most enterprises operate in the world of “and.” In other words, they have workloads on premises and in the cloud—and that little three-letter word makes a world of difference.
Enterprises are increasingly adopting Kubernetes. In fact, Gartner estimates that by 2026 more than 90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production, an increase from fewer than 40% in 2020. And IDC reports that 80% of new workloads are being developed in containers.
