The Cost of Poor Software Quality Is Higher Than Ever

1 week ago | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

We all know quality matters. And yet, time after time, organizations deploy software they know isn’t fully tested—sacrificing quality in the name of speed. Sometimes that gamble pays off, but more often, it backfires. According to the 2025 Quality Transformation Report from Tricentis, nearly half of public sector agencies are losing between $1 million and $5 million annually due to software issues, while another 3.2% are losing even more.
Edge AI Is Having a Moment

3 weeks ago | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

Once considered a fringe component of enterprise infrastructure, edge AI is now moving back into the spotlight. As AI adoption spreads across industries, organizations are reevaluating where and how AI workloads should run. For an increasing number of use cases, the answer is not a centralized cloud environment. It is the edge.

Zero Trust at Scale with Identity-Centric Microsegmentation

1 month ago | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

As organizations expand their networks, the complexities of managing security across a growing landscape of users, devices, and workloads are becoming more daunting. Attack surfaces are expanding rapidly, and cyber threats are evolving just as quickly. In fact, lateral movement within a network is responsible for over 70% of successful cyberattacks.
Confidential Computing and Data Security

2 months ago | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

Data breaches are, unfortunately, commonplace, and the consequences are severe. Companies must secure sensitive data at almost any cost to avoid the long-term repercussions of leaks. We know this. One option, confidential computing, may help companies protect data assets in a new way. Unlike traditional security measures that primarily shield data at rest and in transit, confidential computing safeguards data during processing. This addresses a critical vulnerability in data security frameworks.
Introducing a New Open Source Security Baseline

2 months ago | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

It’s surprising to no one that most companies use open source software to fuel some part of their tech stack. However, when we say “most,” we mean 95-97% by most estimates. That’s an astonishing statistic in a world where the tech options are truly vast and varied. This makes open source security a critical piece of keeping assets safe.
Cloud-Native HA and Kubernetes-driven DR

2 months ago | clouddatainsights.com | Don Boxley

Apps and databases that used to need their own hardware, tons of manual setup, and complicated failover plans can now be spun up and managed on the fly. Why? Because the cloud has changed everything!The promise? Apps that never go down, disaster recovery that just works, and the ability to scale instantly…sounds perfect, right? But here’s the thing: making true high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) work in a cloud-native world takes more than just moving everything to the cloud.
Generative AI Drives Cloud Market Surge

Mar 27, 2025 | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

The cloud market continues to grow prolifically. According to new data from Synergy Research Group, the cloud infrastructure market witnessed a significant surge in 2024, hitting a total of $330 billion in revenue. This represents a $60 billion increase from 2023 and a substantial $102 billion rise since 2022. The launch of ChatGPT at the end of 2022 marked a turning point, with generative AI (GenAI) technologies driving half of the market’s growth over the past two years.
Securing the Future: Experts Weigh in on Container Security

Mar 15, 2025 | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

Containers are the preferred technology for agile and scalable deployments in the cloud-native application world. However, their rise has also increased their appeal as targets for cyberattacks. The very attributes that make containers ideal, such as their portability and dynamic nature, also introduce complex security challenges that organizations must address.
How Agentic AI is Changing Decision-Making

Mar 8, 2025 | clouddatainsights.com | Elizabeth Wallace

It may seem strange that artificial intelligence still needs human intervention because, at least in pop culture, it’s supposed to think on its own. However, up until now, AI has required significant human guidance to operate effectively. The emergence of agentic AI changes this dynamic. This new breed of AI can make decisions, take actions, and learn from its environment autonomously, pushing the boundaries of what machines can accomplish independently.
Hybrid Net Data Replication Requires Streaming

Feb 16, 2025 | clouddatainsights.com | Salvatore Salamone

Data replication in hybrid and multi-cloud environments faces several key challenges due to the increasing complexity of IT infrastructure, evolving security requirements, and growing demand for real-time data processing. Increasingly, streaming is playing a role to address these issues. For example, many organizations encounter latency and performance bottlenecks. Network latency between geographically dispersed data centers and cloud providers can impact real-time data synchronization.
