Turning IT into a Profit Center with Mark Thiele

Turning IT into a Profit Center with Mark Thiele

This week on The Business of Cloud Native, I spoke with Mark Thiele of Edgevana about the definition of cloud and cloud native, where the line is between cloud and edge and situations where edge is the best option.


Highlights:


A discussion of situations where edge is the most appropriate option and how edge can help solve problems related to latency, data transfer costs, data sovereignty and network access.


Why the right architecture depends on your business needs — there is no one size fits all way to design an edge solution.


The relationship between data centers, public clouds and edge devices, including how co-location facilities fit into the equation.


How IT is shifting from being a cost center in the business to being a profit center, and how this re-framing of IT is the root of fundamental change.


What types of companies can successfully manage a data center and what types of companies should accept that they don’t have the skills and just go to the public cloud.


Why success in the digital transformation is really a question of prioritization.
