Two decades ago few could have imagined how advanced technology would become. In the intervening years, we’ve seen our devices get smaller and more powerful, storage move from cumbersome data centers to flexible cloud models and networks speed up faster than anyone could have believed possible.

This is especially true in hybrid environments, where workloads and other functions are shifting between cloud solutions and […]

Cloud spending in government is reaching an all-time high, expecting to reach $9.1B by 2024.
