Andrew took me through the details of this remote block storage […]

Do you ever wonder how you can keep up with incoming requests for increased storage capacity without having to expand data center footprint, increase utility spend, and continually handle hardware refresh cycles? Customers are looking to free up space from on-premises storage systems or other clouds, whether it is for existing archival datasets, transitioning their […]

It’s no secret that the increased adoption of cloud computing has transformed the way enterprises are managing and protecting their mission critical applications and data. Security and compliance becomes a shared responsibility between cloud providers and their customers. The shared model helps clarify which aspects the cloud provider is responsible for, and which aspects fall […]

To leverage the benefits of modern software development and automation, the telecommunications industry (telco) commonly employs containerized network functions (NF). The containerized environment demands certain requirements from the underlying infrastructure as opposed to a legacy monolithic IT workload. For example, a single network interface is reused for multiple workflows: network operations and maintenance (O&M) traffic, […]
