The cloud is going mainstream. That’s the word from a recent Cisco Systems-sponsored study, which found that more than two-thirds of organizations are using the cloud to “help drive business outcomes”—a whopping 61 percent increase from the previous year’s study. But almost the same number aren’t maximizing the true value of cloud computing. What does […]

Deep Art of Scaling for Cloud Environments, Part 1
The number of resources to scale an application are abundant, but every application has its own challenges to scale successfully, and the solution to this problem doesn’t come handy. This two-part article focuses on the best approaches to build a scalable application, software-as-a-service (SaaS) application, mobile app, or WordPress-, Drupal- or Magento-based website. The scope […]
Keep Applications Running by Testing Early, Continuously
Almost every product we buy or use today goes through some form of extensive testing before it’s released on the market; typically, these tests are designed to replicate the worst-case scenarios that a product may encounter under real-world conditions. Automobiles, for example, go through extensive hot and cold weather testing in remote locations, and are […]
Taming 2 Cloud App Performance Enemies
Whenever you hear the words “the network’s slow today,” or, even worse, “the network’s down,” you know somebody miscalculated.

Big DevOps is something else entirely. Big DevOps resembles mainstream […]
Fog Computing Meets Cloud Computing, and the Forecast Is Sunny
Fog computing is more than just cloud computing meeting edge networks, but for practitioners more interested in results than in new buzzwords, the question is whether fog’s IoT promise deliver real-time data storage, processing and analysis. One thing all new technologies share is the lack of a consensus on what exactly defines the technology. Ask […]

Health Care’s Shift to the Cloud via the Hybrid Cloud, Part 2
In part one of this series, we looked at how the healthcare industry has changed, requiring integrations and interoperability that were not previously needed. Having established that the cloud is the way to go and that the hybrid cloud is the stepping stone hospital CIOs are comfortable with, we must ask how DevOps can help. […]
Health Care’s Shift to the Cloud via the Hybrid Cloud, Part 1
The changing healthcare scene is dragging hospital systems into the cloud to enable the interoperability necessary for the industry to send electronic medial records (EMRs) and other data to outside systems such as registries that enable bundled payments. Because health insurance companies and Medicare only pay for patient episodes rather than for each subsequent treatment […]
