It's clear that cloud computing will continue to grow, but here are three less-obvious aspects to keep on your radar.
Once your cloud architecture works, it’s time to optimize it for efficiency and cost. An audit will reveal how much value it adds to the business.
Many plan to use the same tools from one cloud migration project to the next. A command and control center might give different advice.
Convoluted cloud solutions are a big reason cloud implementations don’t work as hoped.
You may think you know everything about the proper configuration of a cloud computing solution, but cloud providers are keeping a few things to themselves.
