WE HAVE ANOTHER MYTH TO BUST TODAY

Jason and Nick discuss the myth that provider tools are enough to manage cloud costs. They argue that this is not the case and that organizations need to invest in their own tools and processes to optimize their use of cloud resources. Find out more in this latest episode of Cloud Cost Optimization.

WORDS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR DAY

NICK: TOOLS ARE ONLY THERE FOR INSIGHT

“It's there because it's necessary for them to provide a tool to give insight to their users, but it's not there to actually drive outcomes on behalf of the user.”

What’s stopping your business from deploying applications 50% faster to increase market share and boost revenue? For Jeff Shaw, CIO of EMPLOYERS Insurance, it was finding the right place to run the right application with the agility and scalability of the cloud. This meant leveraging not one cloud, but multiple clouds to take advantage of the best tools that each one had to offer while at the same time, managing them as if they were one cloud. In this episode, Jeff is joined by his VP of Cloud Infrastructure Dale Ramsey and together they describe the journey they took to move all their applications off of aging infrastructure, and run them in multiple clouds while ensuring that everything worked together seamlessly. Throughout the conversation, we discuss the real challenges that the business faced when it came to evaluation, training teams, and executing what seemed, at first, to be impossible. During the discussion, Jeff reveals what he considers to be the key elements for successfully taking advantage of all the best tools of each cloud while ensuring that security and customer experience are not compromised.

Veel datacenters moeten noodgedwongen hun energieprijzen verhogen. De concurrentiepositie van lokale of regionale datacenters ten opzichte van de grote cloudaanbieders komt hiermee verder onder druk te staan. Zij hebben namelijk veel minder last van de stijgende energieprijzen. Zorgt die hoge energieprijs nu voor een run naar de cloud?

Het is niemand ontgaan dat de energieprijzen door het dak gaan. In veel industrieën heeft men er last van. Zo zijn er bakkers die hun deuren al gesloten hebben. Verwacht wordt dat ook slagers, cafetaria's en veel productiebedrijven zullen volgen. Ook in de IT zullen slachtoffers vallen. Vooral datacenters zijn grote stroomverbruikers en die zullen de tarieven moeten verhogen. Dat zal grote gevolgen hebben voor bedrijven die hun infrastructuur nu in een colocatie hebben, maar voor wie de cloud ook een prima alternatief is. Daarnaast verwachten we dat veel kleinere hostingbedrijven in de problemen komen. Meer hierover in deze Techzine Talks.

James Fox, Director, Enterprise Cloud, Protiviti

A report by the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (#AFME) and Protiviti outlines potential key regulatory barriers to the greater adoption of #cloudservices in #capitalmarkets and provides recommendations for policymakers, regulators, and #CloudServiceProviders (CSPs) to assist #banks with their adoption. Building Resilience in the Cloud finds that, while banks are increasing migration to the cloud and identifying solutions to address regulatory concerns, two solutions that are becoming increasingly proposed by policymakers - #portability and #multi-cloud strategies – may introduce further barriers to adoption. Robin Amlôt of IBS Intelligence discusses the issues with James Fox, Director, Enterprise Cloud, of Protiviti
