Monitor Cloud Spending as Well as Cloud Performance
In traditional data centers, monitoring is primarily about addressing operational concerns: making sure servers and applications are up and there's enough memory and storage capacity to meet the demand. Once you migrate your workloads to the cloud, monitoring changes....
Digital Transformation Isn’t Just About Technology
Big transformations take time and dedication. Caterpillars seal themselves off in a cocoon for days to develop into butterflies. You can’t seal your business off from the outside world, and unlike the caterpillar’s transformation, the digital transformation process...
Cloud Creates Multiple Visibility Challenges

Choosing the Right Cloud Provider for Your Workloads
Multi-cloud has become a fact of life in today’s era. More than 90% of organizations use public cloud, and more than 80% have multi-cloud environments. On average, organizations use 4.8 clouds, with enterprises running 32% of workloads in public cloud and 45% in...
Minimize Your Data Size with Copy Data Management
How many copies of your data do you need? One isn't enough—you need at least one backup copy (and preferably a second backup copy stored offsite). The problem is that data copies multiply far beyond just one or two. Development, test, analytics, and other projects all...
High Availability in Multicloud Relies on Replication
As we move from simple, single data center architectures to complex multicloud environments, it’s easy to breathe a sigh of relief: there’s at least one way in which these multicloud environments simplify our work. Cloud, and particularly multicloud, offers a built-in...
Three Reasons to Monitor Your Cloud
When you move to cloud, much of the responsibility for the infrastructure moves to the cloud provider. However, there are multiple reasons you need to implement tools and procedures for your own monitoring of your cloud infrastructure. These reasons include: 1....
It Only Takes One Cloud to Have a Hybrid Environment
