IoT device management refers to processes or practices used to deploy, monitor and maintain IoT devices. As organizations scale up their IoT efforts, a solid device management approach is essential to running a secure, streamlined fleet of devices. The proliferation of connected devices worldwide (projected to reach 18.8 billion in 2024) means that IoT device management is growing more complex, a reality that has not gone unnoticed by bad actors.

For years, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) has helped power the most complex IT environments—and the technology is still relevant today. After all, VDI allows employees to access their work applications and data across any device, anywhere. And the growth of 5G networked edge computing means that VDI workloads can soon be optimised for even greater flexibility, security and cost savings. But what’s the right way to deploy VDI in the cloud era?

The launch of Ubuntu in 2004 was a step-change for everyday users and developers everywhere. Nicknamed “Ubuntu Linux” in its early days, to differentiate it from its various cousins in the Linux world, it has since lost the need for its surname and grown to become a powerful force. Besides being used by millions of home users, Ubuntu is widely used in the development and business world. As developers have become a driving force of innovation, so has Ubuntu.
20 years of partnership: how our partners help us take Ubuntu across industries, markets and devices

Canonical MicroCloud’s 2.1.0 LTS release features support for single-node deployments, improved security posture, and more flexibility during the initialization process. In this video we guide you through the new process, starting with deploying a MicroCloud on a single node, and then expanding with two additional members for a highly available cluster. Follow along and try it yourself.

A MicroCloud is a new lightweight, featureful, and straightforward cloud for on-demand computing at the edge. MicroClouds differ from IoT which uses thousands of single machines or sensors to gather data, yet does not perform computing tasks. Instead, MicroClouds reuse proven cloud primitives with unattended, autonomous, and clustering features that resolve typical edge computing challenges.

Public cloud providers offer convenient services for database deployments. However, depending solely on a single provider’s database-as-a-service can result in vendor lock-in and reduce your system’s resilience against widespread outages affecting the provider. Instead, explore our approach to deploying MySQL across multiple clouds. A multi-cloud database strategy enables you to retain control of your infrastructure while enhancing overall resiliency and leveraging the unique strengths of each cloud provider.

From the smallest startups to the largest enterprises alike, organisations are using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to make the best, fastest, most informed decisions to overcome their biggest business challenges. But with AI/ML complexity spanning infrastructure, operations, resources, modelling and compliance and security, while constantly innovating, many organizations are left unsure how to capture their data and get started on delivering AI technologies and methodologies.

Traditional development methods do not scale into the IoT sphere. Strong inter-dependencies and blurred boundaries among components in the edge device stack result in fragmentation, slow updates, security issues, increased cost, and reduced reliability of platforms. This reality places a major strain on IoT players who need to contend with varying cycles and priorities in the development stack, limiting their flexibility to innovate and introduce changes into their products, both on the hardware and software sides.

Private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, multi-cloud... the variety of locations, platforms and physical substrate you can start a cloud instance on is vast. Yet once you have selected an operating system which best supports your application stack, you should be able to use that operating system as an abstraction layer between different clouds.

Container technology has brought about a step-change in virtualisation technology. Organisations implementing containers see considerable opportunities to improve agility, efficiency, speed, and manageability within their IT environments. Containers promise to improve datacenter efficiency and performance without having to make additional investments in hardware or infrastructure. Traditional hypervisors provide the most common form of virtualisation, and virtual machines running on such hypervisors are pervasive in nearly every datacenter.

Big Software, IoT and Big Data are changing how organisations are architecting, deploying, and managing their infrastructure. Traditional models are being challenged and replaced by software solutions that are deployed across many environments and many servers. However, no matter what infrastructure you have, there are bare metal servers under it, somewhere.
