A data center (American English) or data centre (British English) is a building, a dedicated space within a building, or a group of buildings used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. A data center’s design is based on a network of computing and storage resources that enable the →

About 1 percent of all electricity generated goes to cloud computing. By the end of this decade, we could be devoting 8 percent or more. How much energy can we dedicate to all this computing? Software and hardware engineering will no doubt need to reorient their design practices more around power efficiency. Read more: Cloud →

Looks like Facebook & WhatsApp CDNs have been at least partially down. For example Facebook images are not showing. Just fee days ago Cloudflare was down. And also Google has taken a bite? Is it an outage season in US that affects peole all over world? Who broke all the social networks? So far there →

https://blog.arduino.cc/2019/02/06/announcing-the-arduino-iot-cloud-public-beta/ The Arduino IoT Cloud is an easy-to-use platform that makes it very simple for anyone to develop and manage their IoT applications, then deploy them to a large number of users. With the launch of the Arduino IoT Cloud, Arduino now provides its one million users a complete end-to-end approach to IoT that includes →

https://enterprisersproject.com/article/2018/12/cloud-trends-2019-5-it-leaders-watch 2019 will be the year that multi-cloud strategies grow up according to this article. I can pretty much agree on also the other trends listed on this article. →

You might have noticed that many widely used languages are interpreted and use “runtimes” to execute your source code. In theory, most Node.js, Python, Ruby and Java. Theoretically code can be easily moved from one platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) but usually there are problematic issues caused by factors external to your application. Why Kubernetes is →

https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/24/google-cloud-goes-all-in-on-hybrid-with-its-new-cloud-services-platform/ The cloud isn’t right for every business. Be that because of latency constraints at the edge, regulatory requirements or because sometimes own data center is cheaper. So the vast majority of enterprises today use both public and private clouds in parallel. The two services at the core of new offering from Google are the →

https://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/eye-on-standards/4460689/The-merger-of-networking–storage–RAM–and-cache Since the dawn of civilization, the computing bottleneck has been the tawdry I/O relationship between disk drives and RAM (random access memory). The emergence of SSDs (solid state drives) loosened but didn’t alter this I/O bottleneck. With fast networks computers can move data onto their disks from remote systems as fast as they can →

Remote feeding is a technology which enables operators to power several remote sites from a central location.  Remote powering implies that the power equipment is not local but some distance away. Remote means that the powering and powered equipment are in separate buildings or at different external locations inside same building.It can be used as →
