The days when most companies completely shied away from using cloud resources for highly sensitive data or applications have passed, and for good reason. Today, cloud providers may offer better cybersecurity protections than many companies can provide on-premises. But you need to know what to look for in a cloud provider. The security professional shortageSome 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs are unfilled globally, with 750,000 of them in the U.S., according to researchers at Cybersecurity Ventures. This drives up wages, making it both expensive to hire security professionals and difficult to re...

トマゴ・アルミニウムはアジア太平洋地域の業界大手であり、デニス・モンクリーフ氏はIT管理者として、アルミニウムの生産プロセスをより効率的にするために適切なテクノロジーを活用する責任を負っています。 組織のDX(デジタルトランスフォーメーション)の過程について語るとき、同氏はそれを不変のものだと表現します。「確かに、DXは、長い間あちこちで飛び交っている専門的流行語です。しかし、プロセスをデジタル化することは依然として重要です。現代のビジネスでは、古い、パッチが適用されていない、サポートされていないバージョンのものを稼働させる余裕はないからです。リスクが高すぎます」と同氏は言います。 しかし、モンクリーフ氏の経験では、新旧のバランスを見つけるのは容易ではありません。 この難問が、2015年にトマゴがERPシステムをクラウドに移行する動機となりました。同社のSAP ERPシステムのバージョンはサポートが終了しており、選択したSAPインスタンスはオンプレミスで利用できるサポートされたハードウェアプラットフォームではありませんでした。既存のシステムを「燃え上がるプラットフォーム」と表現する同氏は、クラウドへの移行は基本的に唯一の選択肢だったと振り返ります。 当時、クラウド移行はかなり新しく、そのプロセスにはまだ未知の部分が多くありました。「パートナーが管理するクラウド環境に足を踏み入れまし...

The cloud computing revolution brought with it many innovations, but also lessons about the pitfalls of rapidly adopting new technologies without a well-planned strategy. Today, IT leaders are at a similar crossroads with the rise of generative AI. As organizations build their AI factories today in this new era, IT leaders have an opportunity to learn from their cloud-first sins of the past and strategically build in a way that prioritizes security, governance, and cost efficiencies over the long term, avoiding errors that might need to be corrected down the line. The cloud retrospective: A le...

AWS, Microsoft y Google están recurriendo a la energía nuclear para construir y operar megacentros de datos mejor equipados para satisfacer las exigencias cada vez mayores de la inteligencia artificial (IA) generativa. A principios de este año, AWS pagó 650 millones de dólares para adquirir Cumulus Data Assets de Talen Energy, un centro de datos de 960 megavatios alimentado por energía nuclear ubicado en la planta nuclear de Talen en Susquehanna, Pensilvania, con otros centros de datos previstos, pendientes de la aprobación de la Agencia Reguladora Nuclear. Microsoft, Google y Nucor, fabricant...

AWS, Microsoft, and Google are going nuclear to build and operate mega data centers better equipped to meet the increasingly hefty demands of generative AI. Earlier this year, AWS paid $650 million to purchase Talen Energy’s Cumulus Data Assets, a 960-megawatt nuclear-powered data center on site at Talen’s Susquehanna, Penn., nuclear plant, with additional data centers planned — pending approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Agency. Microsoft, Google, and NuScale Power, a maker of small module nuclear reactors known as SMRs, approached Constellation Energy this spring with a request for informatio...

The global cloud infrastructure services market remains strong, buoyed in part by enterprise interest in AI. That interest is in turn spurring the Big 3 cloud vendors to accelerate AI offerings in hopes of winning even larger portions of the global cloud market, even as CIOs seek to sharpen strategies to curb costs and maximize their return from the cloud. In the second quarter of 2024, global spending on cloud infrastructure services grew by 19% year-over-year to surpass the $78 billion mark. While enterprise IT budgets have grown, a significant portion of spending is now going to investments...

Il leader IT ed ex CIO Stanley Mwangi Chege ha sentito per anni i dirigenti lamentarsi delle implementazioni cloud, citando la rapida escalation dei costi e le difficoltà legate alla privacy dei dati come motivi principali delle loro frustrazioni. Ha visto alcuni di loro reagire spostando i carichi di lavoro dal cloud ai data center on-premise per consentire un miglior controllo dei costi [in inglese] e degli standard relativi alla privacy. Ha lavorato con una compagnia assicurativa che, nel 2023, ha fatto una mossa di questo tipo, spinta – in particolare – dal desiderio di avere il pieno cont...
