Should you migrate to cloud ? Steps to a successful migration

Everyone talks about cloud as if it had become a requirement. But is it suitable for all information systems? Migrating to cloud is fine, but why, and what kind of cloud ? 1. The benefits and risks of migrating to cloud 1.1 Benefits Here are some scenarios where moving to cloud is beneficial: Your application is experiencing increased traffic and it is becoming difficult to scale resources on the fly to meet the growing demand. It becomes increasingly difficult and expensive to meet your growing storage needs. Monitoring and updating the underlying server software is a time-consuming but critical process that requires periodic and sometimes immediate updates. Capex to Opex: cloud shifts IT expenses to a pay-per-use model. 1.2 Risks of Migrating to cloud While your specific environment will determine the risks that apply to you, there are some general drawbacks associated with cloud migrations that should be considered: If your application stores and retrieves highly sensitive data, you may not be able to [...]

6 major technological trends for 2020

The coming year will mark a turning point in IT and large enterprises. Some technologies that have been talked about for a while will appear in a very operational way. 5G, Cloud, blockchain, collaborative work are no longer just buzzwords, they are coming to life. Let's take a quick look at these trends. Technology trend #1: 5G The year 2020 will be connected or not! The first projects based on 5G will finally see the light of day. Main advantages: bandwidths will be much faster and mobile networks more reliable. Far from being limited to improving the use of our smartphones, 5G will accelerate the development of Smart City projects, vehicles, connected and intelligent objects. Almost all industries and communities will be concerned by this evolution. Technological trend #2: The cloud distributed You knew the Cloud computing? Discover the Cloud distributed! The trend is towards decentralization. In 2020, the Cloud will extend outside its Data Centers. The expression "cloud distributed" translates a public cloud which distributes its services on several points of the planet. The services are delocalized, but the original cloud retains responsibility for operation, updates, maintenance, and the [...]

SOA, microservices: what are these two essential IS architectures?

SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and microservices are two different ways of looking at the si and technical architectures of a project. When deploying a technical project, the question of architecture arises right from the start. While some IT managers have a systematic preference for one or other of these si architectures, it's more rational to consider the project as a whole in order to make the right choice. And the answer is hard to come by, since you need to anticipate the scalability of the project, and its evolution in the short, medium and long term. But the question remains crucial: monolithic architecture, SOA or microservices? Discover the similarities and differences between the two systems, so you can make the best decision. See also : How do you automate your infrastructure? SOA, microservices: two styles of architecture if SOA architecture SOA emerged to solve interoperability problems, for example, when two applications running on different technologies (Java and .Net, Windows and Linux, etc.) need to communicate. In an SOA, all applications must connect to an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) in order to communicate with other applications. The ESB acts as the backbone [...].

Data backup in companies: what plan should be put in place?

Laptops, smartphones, connected objects... Data production has never been so high. At the same time, companies have never been so dependent on the information they produce and receive. It is therefore essential to control the lifespan of data, its storage and backup. Although everyone agrees on its importance, computer backup remains problematic: where to start? What types of backup are there? Should we only deal with sensitive data? What about data recovery? To avoid the risks of data loss for your company, rely on the advice of our experts. The risks of data loss Regardless of the size of your business, backing up your data is essential. Tools are not eternal and you are never safe from loss. Human risks such as theft, hacking, ransomware, or mishandling can jeopardize the cybersecurity of your data. Environmental hazards cause flooding or fire in your premises. Machines are also not infallible: loss of a server or crash of a hard drive happens from time to time. For the company, a loss of data can be a serious problem.

How 5G is building the "next generation" IoT

Welcome to the world of IoT, the Internet Of Everything! With the arrival of 5G in 2020, connected objects are about to experience a veritable revolution. This new generation of standards goes far beyond an improved 4G. It promises new possibilities and unprecedented adaptability. Currently deployed in 83 countries, 5G will be 100 times more powerful than 4G, and will adapt to all types of connected objects. The 5G network will therefore have virtually nothing to do with what we know of mobile networks today. The area most affected will be IoT (Internet of Things), which will see its market explode. Unprecedented performance 5G has been tested over the past 3 years for a number of purposes: speeding up information exchange, securing sharing, transferring more data and consuming less energy. In the specific field of IoT, it divides connected objects into three sections: Low-speed IoT, which sends little data continuously or after an event. Sensors used in home automation or smart cities belong to this family. What makes them special is that they consume very little energy, and are placed in places where [...]

Businesses, protect yourself on cloud

70% of the world's enterprises are clients, the preferred investment area for large organizations, exponential growth... In 2019, the success of cloud is no longer in question. Is this popularity flourishing without risk? Not so sure. Last January, the company Dimensional Research released a vast study mixing risk management and cloud . The results show that public clouds are too weak when it comes to security. The risks are therefore not insignificant. Let's take a look at the problems raised by this solution and decipher the study. Profile of the American participant The IT manager works in a company with between 1000 and 5000 employees. Most of them work in a public cloud environment. A total of 337 international professionals took part in the question and answer session proposed by Dimensional Research. The cloud public is risky The problems created by the cloud public are placed in a chain. Since each key to the process is flawed, the outcome is tainted. Phase 1, service selection, can be dangerous. 85% of enterprises run in non-compliant public clouds. However, there is no need to worry too much, as the majority of them are using networks that are 75% or more compliant. Phase 2, the risks [...]

Edge computing and cybersecurity: beware of risks

On September 24, at the Microsoft Ignite conference, cybersecurity was in the spotlight! The company announced the pre-launch of a new tool: Azure Data Box Edge. Dedicated to connected objects, Microsoft's tool is a mini Data Center focused on edge computing. What is the interest of this solution? Since the emergence of connected objects, the collection and processing of data in complete security are more central than ever. From Cloud computing, companies have moved to Edge computing. What does this change mean? What are the consequences in terms of cybersecurity? Edge computing in the age of IoT What is edge computing? In a nutshell, it is an open distributed computing architecture. Data is not gathered and processed in one place. It is processed at the edge of the network, hence the term "edge". The goal is to process the data close to where it is produced. According to Cisco or Helder Antunes, it is impossible today to guarantee that the large amount of new data will be sent and processed in a fast or stable way to data centers. However, in certain industries, such as healthcare, telecommunications or finance, data must be processed quickly, even in real time. IT architects have therefore thought of a mesh network of micro Data Centers placed near the connected objects that would process the data as quickly as possible. [...]
