With the sheer magnitude of data modern companies have to collect, process and store, enterprise solutions are some of the biggest drivers of today’s information technology landscape.

The cloud networking and security infrastructure requirements of businesses and other corporate entities are rising, and with that has come a commensurate rise in the demand for more intricate and capable cloud computing services.

“What we provide depends on the particular industry the customer’s in, but generally speaking we see a lot of demand for operational efficiency, helping our clients tackle cybersecurity risks, adopt hybrid cloud and set them up to modernize their applications,” said Talor Holloway (pictured), chief technology officer at Advent One Pty. Ltd.

Holloway spoke with John Furrier, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, during IBM Think. They discussed the modern cloud computing landscape and how Advent One fits into both its immediate and larger future. (* Disclosure below.)

Tackling the everchanging set of enterprise demands

The best IT solutions try to account for and solve the problems that lie ahead of customers, in addition to present challenges.

“We’ve had some great outcomes with our clients around helping them automate and deliver the standup and data operations of environments a lot quicker and more easily, and to be able to sort of apply some standards across multiple areas of their IT estate,” Holloway said.

Unstructured data is a particularly tough nut for enterprises to crack and, to that end, Advent One is leaning in heavily on its various outside platform collaborations. The importance of Red Hat and OpenShift as competent drivers for the company’s various cloud offerings is a prominent theme in the company’s future plans.

“I think everyone is really considering themselves a next-gen managed service provider. But what that means for us is to provide a differentiated managed service and also have the strong technical expertise to back it up,” Holloway stated.

When asked about the future of the hybrid cloud landscape, Holloway pointed to open-source tools as a prominent mainstay that would aid enterprises in designing and scaling their cloud infrastructures.
