Modernize SaaS with Edge Containerization
Contrary to the prophecies of many cloud absolutists, hybrid environments continue to power SaaS operations worldwide. Hybrid environments are a blend of cloud and on-premise services that are operated and supported as a single environment. Today, much enterprise data resides and is generated on-premises, in customer environments, and even in remote IoT systems. Edge computing
What Is Edge Networking and How Does It Relate to Edge Computing?
SaaS has introduced flexibility and innovation to countless industries and organizations around the globe.

Even a simple painting project can surface unforeseen problems that turn into 3 trips to the store for more tape, brushes, or plastic coverings. While this might be annoying, it isn’t
Cloud and the Complexity of Distributed Applications
We are in the business of helping software providers with tools that make them more secure and efficient. In those conversations, we get exposed to the infinite number of ways that companies architect, develop, and support their application’s infrastructure. We’ve also discovered that the complexity of distributed applications is a significant challenge. While the architecture
The VPN Security Gap
This time, it’s our friends at Fortinet who have been compromised. Half a million credentials were swiped from VPN routers. Once again, the vendor had issued a patch, but many customers had not updated their systems, highlighting the importance of VPN security measures to protect against such attacks. By now we all understand that there
