ESG Brief: Cisco SD-WAN Cloud Hub with Google Cloud: Simplifying Cloud Connectivity

by Bob Laliberte, on Jun 8, 2020

Abstract:

Cisco and Google Cloud recently announced Cisco SD-WAN Cloud Hub with Google Cloud, a new collaborative turnkey networking solution. Cisco’s SD-WAN capabilities (policy, security, and telemetry) merged with Google Cloud’s software-defined backbone offer organizations an effective means to ensure that security and compliance policies—as well as application service-level objectives (SLOs)—can easily extend across the network. The solution offers organizations a comprehensive way to view the end-to-end network, providing secure on-demand connectivity from customer locations, through Google Cloud’s backbone, as well as applications running in Google Cloud, other clouds, private data centers, or SaaS applications.

ESG Research Report: Leveraging DevSecOps to Secure Cloud-native Applications

by Doug Cahill, on Mar 30, 2020

Abstract:

Fundamental changes to application architectures and the infrastructure platforms that host them is antiquating existing cybersecurity technologies and challenging traditional approaches to protecting business-critical workloads. Additionally, the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) process of DevOps is as impactful a change to cybersecurity programs as the changes to the applications and infrastructure that these methodologies manage.

In order to get more insight into these trends, ESG surveyed 371 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and managing cloud security technology products and services. These organizations are mature cloud users in terms of public cloud services and/or containers.

ESG Brief: Enterprise Data Warehouse Trends

by Mike Leone, on Mar 2, 2020

Abstract:

Enterprise data warehouses (EDWs) have existed for about 20 years, serving as the foundation of insight-driven organizations, delivering timely analysis and reporting of structured data; handling large analytics workloads; and supporting the high levels of concurrency that organizations demand. But while EDWs have been a familiar presence in many organizations, as companies look to reduce their data center footprints, increase organizational agility, and incorporate as much data as possible into their analytics workflows, the architectural rigidity, complexity, and cost of traditional EDWs have paved the way for modern data warehouses to better respond to the dynamic needs of the business.

ESG Brief: Impact of Containers on the Network

by Bob Laliberte, on Dec 23, 2019

Abstract:

The rapid adoption of containers to support modern application environments is having a significant impact on IT and the underlying technology. This is especially true for the network team, where container adoption is impacting existing network architectures and creating new challenges. As is the case with most transitions, there is a temptation to resist change, but as time and previous technology transformations have demonstrated, these changes must be embraced. Organizations need to ensure that the network is in a position to accelerate the adoption of new technologies.

ESG Brief: Container Usage Trends

by Bob Laliberte, on Dec 23, 2019

Abstract:

Hybrid has become the de facto cloud strategy for most organizations and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. At the same time, there is a lot of discussion in the market regarding modern or cloud-native application environments as organizations look to shift from infrastructure-focused to application-centric management, but what is the reality of container environments in enterprises? ESG research confirms that not only has the adoption of containers been steady—and will continue to be—but also that this usage will play an increasing role in supporting production application environments.
