Will hybrid cloud and multi-cloud defend you from vendor lock-in? Do you really need to be wary of it?

Vendor lock-in is a concept overly often associated with the IT industry, and in recent years, especially with cloud computing, although it is not inextricably linked with them. Economists considered it in a broader context long before the world first heard of AWS or Azure. From a customer and user perspective, it has tended to be viewed negatively, often creating reluctance and fear of using a particular service or product.At first glance, the problem is not trivial in the public cloud area. Even the main beneficiaries of the phenomenon, i.e. the largest cloud providers, have decided to raise the issue on their official websites, so clearly something must be...And whether it actually is, we will check in this article. We'll look at the risks of vendor lock-in for organizations planning cloud adoption. We'll also consider whether using multiple vendors (multi-cloud ) simultaneously can be a good recipe for improvement. In addition, we will take a look at the hybrid cloud.

How to properly understand the public cloud in 2023? And why is it so difficult?

Cloud computing is constantly changing and evolving. What we see today is different from what it was yesterday and not the same as it will be tomorrow. The only constant is change. Today, conversations about change are not only with IT departments but also, before all, with the business, including marketing, HR, or finance departments. Each has different needs, which can be addressed by the cloud.

Energy Advisor for Manufacturing – energy savings for industry

Energy consumption bills have been a major focus in virtually all areas of industry for many years, and the current global situation is a factor driving up demand for solutions that make it easier to monitor energy consumption or save energy. In an industrial environment, where the cost of utilities has always been one of the main business drivers, the latest twists and turns in the global economy: inflation, natural resources supply challenges and the threat of fluctuating and unpredictable increases in energy costs – are arguably the most important economic factors these days.

How to implement Industry 4.0 smarter, faster, and easier?

The concept associated with Industry 4.0 is Smart Factory – in other words “intelligent factory”. This type of plant is based on integrated systems with the use of the industrial Internet of Things and new methods of production organization. It is intended to enable a high level of product personalization and run production processes with minimal labor input. The idea and activities within Smart Industry allow companies to shift market competition from offering a simple product to providing value-added products and competing with process excellence. This applies to cooperation with potential customers from the stage of virtual product design, through simulations, production optimization and real-time monitoring, to after-sales service.

ThingWorx AWS Connector

The ubiquitous fourth industrial revolution, named Industry 4.0, is now one of the fastest growing IoT markets. The digital transformation journey is more than bragging about smart innovations and gadgets. It's often one of the best solutions for dealing with serious bottlenecks in the industry, such as frequent downtime and complete shutdowns of production lines. ThingWorx, as part of Industry 4.0 and the rich catalog of tools supporting it, is a comprehensive IoT product that enables the rapid creation and development of IoT solutions. Combining ThingWorx's capabilities with AWS cloud can add new features to these solutions. Having ThingWorx running in the cloud (Connector) translates into, among other things, the ability to preprocess IoT data before it even enters ThingWorx. This feature is particularly useful for real-time data, which could otherwise overwhelm ThingWorx if sent directly to it.

How to achieve AWS cloud cost optimization with FinOps?

The cloud is not on-premise, which means that IT purchases don't happen according to a strategic plan, but immediately when the architect provisions new resources in the cloud. So how to deal with excessive costs in the AWS cloud? The first and quick solution is cost optimizations, which start by analyzing the accounts and seeing which and how AWS cloud services are used. Based on this, recommendations are made for optimization measures. These actions are part of the long-term adoption of the FinOps culture, which engages finance, technology, and business together to build a process of continuous cloud cost control in the organization.

IoT Data Visualization

Internet of Things systems have one huge advantage – they can collect lots of data. Temperature, items produced, amount of remaining liquids, humidity, machine uptime, damaged products, vehicle routes, electricity used. Based on this, we can get even more value by calculating KPIs to indicate how close to perfect our system is. Going manually through an endless stream of numbers changing every couple of hours is impossible and inefficient. The simple solution is to visualize the data by using a carefully selected chart type, that will exponentially increase its value. In this article, I want to show you the benefits of good data visualization and explain how it can be applied in your solution.

Process of the product development consists of many steps that are often very complicated, time consuming and not well defined. It is common that companies are struggling to track the progress of the development and keep the documentation up to date. The main challenge that I would like to focus on is the continuous need to improve the product. Because we do not live in the perfect world the changes are unavoidable – whether it is just small fragment of the design that needs to be updated, the part you have been using so far is no longer available or you have to make sure that the product meets the requirements of the new markets.

High Availability in IoT applications

Modern web applications that serve data and content to millions of users run in clustered environments. Dealing with a huge amount of connections at the same time requires many resources. That resources are CPU time and RAM. Each and every connection produces an additional load on the server. Having just one server would require a vast amount of resources and we already know that Moore's Law is no longer valid. That said we need multiple servers ready to respond to users’ requests. Web applications use HTTP(S) protocol which works in the request-response communication method. Upon user's request, the server will prepare the response and send it back. Every response needs to be processed by the server and that's the key factor in provisioning resources for the server - requests may be different, starting from simple static data like CSS or images to more demanding like requesting data from database, filtering or calculating certain data.

Multi-CAD data management in a PLM environment

Computer Aided Design (CAD) techniques have been inseparable from the very dynamic development of industry for many years and their role is growing with every decade. What started as fairly simple systems that functioned basically as virtual drawing boards, has developed over time into packages of advanced IT tools. Although initially they could only be used by select research institutes and the largest and most developed corporations, CAD systems have gradually gained popularity, acquired new functionalities and became easier to use. However, the real revolution took place in the era of fast Internet and Industry 4.0, when CAD systems have dynamically transformed into sophisticated tools integrated with PDM and PLM systems. In addition to the ability to develop a complete 3D representation of a product in a virtual environment, they support virtually all other activities related to the broadly understood design, construction, digital prototyping and preparation of data for other stages of the product life cycle.
