Mesh madness: The flattening of multicloud networking
Multiclouds are flattening from end to end. As we move into the coming decade, centralized and hub-and-spoke networking among clouds will decline in importance in enterprise architectures. As data gravity pushes more cloud topologies toward the edge, Wikibon sees multiclouds evolving into radically distributed mesh architectures at the infrastructure, platform and application levels. In fact, ...

Looking ahead to Next ’19, Google puts AI at the center of cloud hyperscaling
Google LLC remains a powerhouse in artificial intelligence, which is a fundamental frontier in cloud, edge and enterprise computing. Hyperscaling is a principle that drives everything Google does in the AI market. A year ago on theCUBE at Big Data SV, a Google executive discussed AI best practices that the company executes comprehensively within its ...

How AI is automating multicloud management
Multiclouds have already arrived in enterprises, thanks to an emerging new kind of networking driven by artificial intelligence. Intent-based networking is a DevOps paradigm for simplifying, speeding and improving management of multiclouds. This approach involves continuous optimization of availability, reliability, performance, security and other infrastructure policy objectives. Intent-based networking is not exactly a new management ...

Security built in: At RSA Conference, cybersecurity intersects with DevOps
Cybersecurity is not a quick fix or a one-off remedy. To be effective, it needs to be built right into the application development, testing and release pipeline. As enterprises adopt DevOps practices for rapid application release, security is becoming one of the key outcomes that their developers must ensure. That’s because the faster you release ...

At RSA Conference, look for ‘post-perimeter’ security to dominate
In the multicloud, the edge presents the weakest security link — hence the most promising target for hackers. Locally acquired, processed and stored data exposes edge devices to never-ending security intrusions. Device-based artificial intelligence thrives on that and other data, including content that is fetched from the cloud or ingested dynamically from other edge devices. ...

At Think 2019, IBM brings AI to the multicloud but confronts formidable challenges
The cloud wars are rapidly separating public cloud leaders from the rest of the pack. Where does IBM Corp. stand now in the cloud market? Considering how far behind its public cloud is against Amazon Web Services Inc. and Microsoft Corp. in market share, the technology giant has wisely chosen to step up its focus on ...
Recapping the Think 2019 “Journey to Cloud” Community CrowdChat
Cloud computing has become the principal paradigm for enterprise applications. As businesses modernize their computing and networking architectures, cloud-native architectures are the principal target environments. As a result, enterprise deployment of all-encompassing cloud computing is accelerating. Many enterprises have embarked on a journey to computing in and across a multiplicity of clouds. On Wednesday, IBM Corp. ...
Executives at Cisco Live discuss strategic directions in multicloud networking
SiliconANGLE covered Cisco Live in Barcelona this week, providing exclusive commentary and interviews from its livestreaming studio theCUBE. Here are highlights from the interviews with Cisco Systems Inc. executives, partners and customers: Extending data centers throughout the multicloud and to the edge Roland Acra (pictured), senior vice president and general manager of Cisco’s Data Center Business ...

From Cisco Live: Agile programmability builds and governs multicloud applications
In a multicloud world, applications live everywhere. For cloud-native application developers, that means the data and business logic that drives them, such as virtual machines, containers and serverless functions, are increasingly spread across many public, private, edge and other environments. Data centers are beginning to permeate the cloud fabric all the way out to the ...
