It is better to have one person working with you than three people working for you.
Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road.
The biggest decision is whether to have a Cloud-based or in-house server infrastructure. While it may sound like a black-or-white selection, there are many things to consider. The first factor is how important uptime is to your business. Cloud solutions can be more expensive than an in-house server, but the benefits of being in the cloud can far outweigh the costs for some businesses
The dictionary defines automation as “the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate automatically.” ISA defines automation as "the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services.” Using this definition, the automation profession includes “everyone involved in the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services”; and the automation professional is “any individual involved in the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services.”
Containerization is defined as a form of operating system virtualization, through which applications are run in isolated user spaces called containers, all using the same shared operating system (OS). A container is essentially a fully packaged and portable computing environment with only what your app needs to run.
Moving workloads to the cloud requires a well-thought-out strategy that includes a complex combination of management and technology challenges as well as staff and resource realignment. There are choices in the type of migration to perform as well as the type of data that should move. It's important to consider, to name a few, the Applications type, cloud migration types and staff strengths before taking action.
Cloud computing is an external form of data storage and software delivery, which can make it seem less secure than local data hosting. Anyone with access to the server can view and use the stored data and applications in the cloud, wherever internet connection is available.With traditional IT infrastructure, you are responsible for the protection of your data, and it is easier to ensure that only approved personnel can access stored applications and data. Physically connected to your local network, data centres can be managed by in-house IT departments on a round-the-clock basis, but a significant amount of time and money is needed to ensure the right security strategies are implemented and data recovery systems are in place
To carry out a project successfully, an IT consultant goes through several steps. They will begin by conducting interviews with certain employees within the client company, with the aim of collecting information and data. The second step consists of analyzing the collected data. Next, the IT consultant will discuss each subject with their in-house experts, and with the client, too, to formulate recommendations and action plans. Lastly, the IT consultant will hand over the results of their analyses and propose appropriate solutions.
None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.
