As theCUBE hosted the Supercloud 22 event Aug. 9 in its Palo Alto studios, the focus was on an idea that has been generating a lot of buzz as a potential solution for the disorganized multicloud environments encountered in most of today’s digital companies. That would be the building of an abstraction layer that resides ...

As theCUBE’s industry analysts traveled the enterprise technology conference circuit this year, they spoke with a lot of companies in the process of developing a service or sets of services, built on hyperscale infrastructure, aimed at abstracting the underlying complexity to create a continuous experience across more than one cloud. Or as theCUBE likes to ...

The history of information technology has seen a series of abstractions building on top of each other to create the complex computing environments that we operate in today. As the fundamental theorem of software engineering goes: “We can solve any problem by introducing an extra level of indirection.” The humorous flip side is the addition “… except ...

Most enterprises currently use multiple clouds. But these multiclouds have been built up over time, resulting in a collection of siloed cloud services rather than a coordinated and cohesive strategy. Or, as Chuck Whitten, co-chief operating officer of Dell Technologies Inc., called it during Dell Technologies World “multicloud by default” rather than by design. So, ...

Supercloud is an emerging trend in enterprise computing that is predicted to bring major changes to how companies build out their cloud architecture. Over the past six months, SiliconANGLE Media has been following the increase in companies considering supercloud as a way to get rid of multicloud complexity and help their customers monetize data assets. ...

A group of successful women in tech recently shared their stories with theCUBE during the “AWS Partner Showcase S1 E3: Women in Tech” event, emphasizing how they made it in the male-dominated world of information technology. Hosted by theCUBE industry analyst Lisa Martin, with special guest Danielle Greshock, director of partner SAs and worldwide ISV at Amazon Web ...

The underlying legacy infrastructure that built traditional business is unfit for purpose in the digital era. It’s time for a new way: the way of decentralized systems and blockchain technologies. “McKinsey recently said that the ecosystem will be over $30 trillion; so when you recognize that we are so early, it’s those right now that ...

Behind the buzz over bitcoin and non-fungible tokens, blockchain technology is enabling some serious projects. Global financial companies are waking up to the potential for decentralized management, while on the other side of the financial equation, non-profit organizations are using technology to protect cultural assets and collect and distribute humanitarian aid faster and more efficiently ...

As companies demand ever faster innovation and productivity from their development teams, security has become the bottleneck impeding progress. Shift-left has thrown everything on the developers’ plate, and the load is requiring trade-offs. Sacrificing quality for speed is never a good trade-off, but then neither is losing competitive advantage because another company got market share ...

Which is more important: Security or performance? As security spend constantly tops information security budgets, the answer should be obvious. Surprisingly (and disconcertingly) it’s not. According to cybersecurity consultant and services provider F5 Inc.’s “2022 State of Application Strategy Report,” three-quarters of information technology decision-makers place performance above security, saying they turn off safeguards if ...
