Cloud providers divide the technologies that underpin their services into two ”planes”, each with a different architecture and availability goal. The control plane manages resources in the cloud; the data plane runs the cloud buyer’s application. In ...
This report shows how rising market concentration and poor visibility drive risk exposure, and explains why organizations should prioritize resilient single-cloud architectures before they consider dual-cloud implementations.
There is evidence that outage rates have been gradually falling in recent years. This report brings together and analyzes recent Uptime Institute data on IT and data center outage trends: their causes, costs and consequences.
Uptime Intelligence uses historical status updates from Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure to calculate the availabilities of several cloud architectures, including a multi-cloud implementation.
Results from Uptime Institute’s Data Center and IT Spending Survey 2022 reveal how enterprise operators and colocation providers are adapting their spending strategies to meet the growing demand for digital services.
Cloud providers advise users to build application resiliency by deploying across multiple locations. This report quantifies the emissions, resiliency and costs of different stateless cloud-application architectures.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey is the most comprehensive of its kind. The findings reveal the experiences of data center operators in the areas of performance, resiliency, efficiency and sustainability.
To improve the resiliency of an application in a public cloud, it is often distributed across data centers. This report quantifies the costs, levels of resiliency and outages compensation for common public cloud architectures.
Cloud computing has evolved to provide more options for resiliency and performance. Understanding these options is crucial for technology buyers, given that the frequency and impact of cloud outages is likely to increase.
The proposed Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will introduce new reporting and resiliency requirements in Europe - and many authorities around the world are expected to be heavily influenced by these plans.
In this report, Uptime Institute Intelligence looks beyond the obvious trends for 2022 and identifies some potentially challenging issues. These include sustainability reporting, supply chain problems and cloud concentration risk.
European officials have long eyed the rise of the big US cloud companies with suspicion and envy. Among their concerns is the European Union’s reliance on non-European providers of cloud computing and a need for ”data sovereignty,” or giving European...
The spectacular growth of the public cloud has many drivers, only one of which is the deployment, redevelopment or migration of enterprise IT into the cloud. But many in the industry — data center builders and operators, hardware and software supplie...
When the ride-hailing company Lyft (a competitor to Uber) filed for its IPO (initial public offering) in March, one figure attracted particular attention in the mission-critical infrastructure industry: Lyft will pay Amazon Web Services (AWS) around ...
