SASE – Secure Access Service Edge – is increasingly important as flexible working becomes a standard aspect of corporate IT. Managing cyberthreats is steadily more difficult as the traditional network perimeter disappears. With employees working remotely and new services being regularly deployed to the cloud, the IT security team is managing thousands of additional end points. Each node...
It has been more than 10 years since desktop virtualization, generally found under the acronym of VDI technology, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, was proposed as one of the main technological drivers for providing greater flexibility, efficiency and control to the workstation (PC) – increasingly destined to become “hardwareless” and distributed between multiple devices (as pointed out by the...
One of the consequences of the new digital economy is the increase in the complexity of business network infrastructures during the last decade, both for large companies and SMEs. In response to this new situation, companies have been adopting software-defined networks (SDN) as the hegemonic model of network architecture. This phenomenon, together with the rise of cloud computing has resulted in...
In our previous article we saw the great advantages of applying Best Programming Practices in SQL Server. We’d like to explore this further, this time focusing on query optimization. SQL is a declarative language: each query declares what we want the database engine to do, but it doesn’t say how. However, it turns out that the how (the plan) is what affects the efficiency of the queries, so it...
No time is a bad time to plan improvements. Looking for ways to reduce development costs in the cloud is always a good thing. Process response times in Microsoft SQL Server databases are irreparably deteriorating as our data volume grows. Therefore, we must stay one step ahead by improving our infrastructure and the way we act towards them. Everything can always be improved without needing to...
Last week’s article described the difficulties faced by developers when working with distributed and/or microservice architectures, often lacking in-depth knowledge about the underlying network technologies that enable different components of the architectures to communicate. As discussed, the main challenges relate to the way in which different services interact with each other rather than to...
