10 Ways Managed Service Providers Provide a Competitive Edge

Image
Modern businesses depend on data for many of their strategic decisions. While technology can render massive assistance, security threats—not to mention constantly evolving IT requirements—can result in disruptive downtimes. This is where engaging a Managed Service Provider (MSP) can be hugely beneficial in smoothening processes in the cloud as well as optimizing cost and managing security challenges. MSPs are proving key to helping businesses get the most from their clouds, hybrid or public or on-premises. This article takes a closer look to understand why MSPs have become so indispensable. Cost Optimization Maintaining infrastructure in-house involves huge cost overheads, since you will be spending on acquiring tools and training in a manner that offers no economies of scale. This can be prohibitive for smaller businesses. Using the services of an MSP limits these costs as the MSP already has the tools you need and the resources needed to set up and maintain your infrastructure. Furt...

How can Serverless Computing benefit you?

  Let’s start by accepting that the term Serverless itself is a bit of a misnomer. Without a server there really can’t be any computing. What Serverless Computing does is, hide the server from you, take away the hassle of maintaining hardware and software, and give you all the computing muscle you need, without any idle capacity. In a traditional IT environment, i.e. server-based, you typically have a 3-tier architecture, viz: a database layer, where the database sits; an application layer, where your apps run; and the presentation layer, interface users interact with. A user can thus interact with your application in as many ways as your application will support—a web browser, mobile, or connected device (think: IoT) What this means is that before you even start working on your (server-based) app, the onus is on you to set up your server, install the OS, install needed software; and regularly manage all this, i.e. take care of hardware, update software, manage operating systems. D...

CloudFormation vs CDK vs Terraform—Which IaC tool is right for you?

  IaC and the Rise of CloudFormation Since it first came into existence, the cloud has gone through several major evolutions, but one service has remained constant. IaC. IaC has and remains a core implementation solution on AWS. It took away the costly, error-prone manual system of creating infrastructure from scratch and allowed developers to automate the process. And the tool that was used to enable that automation was CloudFormation. Built by AWS for AWS, CloudFormation, which was first released in 2011, allowed developers to write simple template files to build infrastructure as needed to run their web applications. It is still one of the safest ways to create, manage, modify and delete resources in your infrastructure. It enables robust state management, and can, as of date, even let you know how your deployment will run—before you actually deploy. CloudFormation templates included different attributes and configuration values for various resources, all entered in a reusable a...

How is it possible for us to better monitor key file changes? How can we ensure of being notified in time in the event of an anomalous occurrence? This article looks at the key ways organizations can identify and meet the most common of challenges to AWS security. Beware of Misconfigurations It is common to see organizations give priority to putting tools and controls in place before establishing security strategy.
