As private cloud solutions continue to gain in popularity, the question “on-premise vs hosted private cloud” arises. Companies are looking into the private cloud as an infrastructure solution that offers a balance between the functionalities and scalability of cloud services and the security, control and robustness of traditional IT infrastructures. Both deployment models have points
Both the CPU and GPU are processors intended to process and execute diverse types of instructions and tasks. Even though they serve different purposes and offer different benefits, both of them are an important part of high-performance servers. They can indeed work together to deliver further processing power. One of the main differences is that
The OSI model, short for Open Systems Interconnection model, is a 7-layer model that describes an architecture of data communications in computer networking. The OSI reference model was developed in the late 1970s. However, due to its late invention, it was not implemented and has only remained as a reference model. The current model implemented
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a scientific field focused on creating machines and computers able to think, learn and act in a human-like manner. AI is currently surrounded by a lot of hype and, although still at an early stage, its impact on society is already significant. So, as the industry matures, the number of products
The main three cloud service models are: IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. Each cloud service model covers different user and company needs, and provides a different level of control, security and scalability. IaaS is the cloud service model that offers a higher level of control compared with an on-premises solution. PaaS makes the process of developing
The Internet Protocol version 6 or IPv6 is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP). The Internet Protocol allows the transfer of data through a network to IP addresses (IPv4 or IPv6), which identify the different devices that are connected to the Internet, allowing communications among them. IPv6 should end up replacing IPv4. The transition
Edge computing is a distributed computing architecture, key for those applications that need a really low latency, such as: self-driving cars, real-time image recognition or Augmented Reality (AR). This new paradigm originates in Content Distribution Networks (CDNs), created in the late 1990s to place content closer to end users as the Internet continued to grow
Intel Xeon Scalable processors boost performance, efficiency, security and scalability. Since the beginning, the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family aims to provide the foundation for a powerful datacenter platform that boosts agility and scalability. They are designed for a wide variety of data center, edge and workstation workloads. 1st generation of Intel Xeon Scalable processors
Getting the infrastructure ready for Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the Christmas campaign is a must to ensure maximum performance and avoid downtime. Online shopping is more alive than ever and these strategic campaigns account for an important percentage of the annual sales. Therefore, it is a great opportunity for online businesses to win new
A good web page load speed is an essential factor for a web page’s success. Nobody likes to wait, much less to waste time waiting for the information they are looking for to show up on the screen. That is why, in order to avoid losing visits and sales, it is very important to decrease
