This blog provides an overview of our upcoming webinar, Lowering the Cost of Connectivity: Increasing the ROI of Cloud Applications. Trustgrid’s Chief Product Officer, Joe Gleinser, will guide participants through the problems, solutions and implementation process of secure cloud to on-premise connectivity and its cost-saving implications. The cloud is changing IT infrastructure, allowing application providers
Unpatched VPNs Present Existential Risk
Recently, Finastra was hit with ransomware attacks and was forced to shut down a number of its products and services over the weekend. According to initial reports, the attacks may have been facilitated by the use of unpatched VPNs with known vulnerability issues. While Finastra has not released the full details and scope of the breach,
Data Mesh: The Quickest Way to Lower Operating Costs
As the economy ebbs and flows, the pressure for application providers to lower operating costs comes into greater focus. The shift to cloud operations was driven by this motivation. In addition to the scalability, flexibility and availability that cloud computing offers, lowering IT operational costs was one of the biggest reasons for the switch. Similarly,
Is a Data Mesh secure?
A Data Mesh creates a layer of connectivity that abstracts away the complexities of connecting, managing and supporting an application’s access to remote data. It is used to stitch together data held across multiple environments. The premise of it is that it uses software to connect environments no matter where it lives, or who controls
Connecting Cloud Applications to Customer Data Sources
As applications become more centralized, the data resources they require are often located in remote customer data centers, which can be difficult to access. This poses challenges for product and engineering teams who want to expand their offerings and simplify the management of cloud applications, but are limited by the need to work with data
How a Data Mesh Works
Our customers always come to us with a problem… “I want to get data from the factory floor to my cloud application” “My customer wants to run my application on-premise, but we don’t deploy our applications onsite.” “My data is scattered across multiple data centers and I can’t replicate it centrally” I could go on
Cloud and the Data Gravity Problem
The term data gravity, which was initially coined by GE Engineer Dave McCrory in a 2010 blog post, refers to the ability of large amounts of data to attract applications, services, and other data. In this context, the bigger the data, the more that applications and services will be drawn to it. Similar to The
What is a Data Mesh?
A service mesh is a software infrastructure that enables communication between microservices in an application. Its purpose is to manage how different parts of the application integrate with one another, which helps to avoid monolithic application architecture. By breaking down the application into a collection of services, each service can be developed, maintained, and improved
