Load balancers: distributing server workloads
Load balancing
  • Know-how

Online stores, company websites, or promotional content: it doesn’t matter what platform you’re using—availability remains key for a successful online business model. More and more companies are opting to use load balancing schemes to equally distribute the server requests of internet users across multiple computers. When properly applied, not only does load balancing permit high availability for...

Kubernetes alternatives
Kubernetes Alternatives
  • Know-how

Kubernetes is the market leader for distributed cluster orchestrators. Interestingly, a number of alternatives exist to give Kubernetes a run for its money. These cover a wide range of possible uses. From local clusters for your own development environment to distributed systems with tens of thousands of nodes. We’ll look at Kubernetes and its alternatives here.

IaaS PaaS SaaS comparison
IaaS vs. PaaS vs. SaaS - What's the Difference?
  • Know-how

When programming web applications, there are various solutions that support developers with server configuration and data management. Depending on the service model, administrative efforts can be almost completely eliminated, so that development becomes the focus. With SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, developers get services that scale easily and feature pay-as-you-use pricing models.

IaaS: infrastructure as a service
What is IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service)
  • Know-how

Cloud computing offers companies excellent opportunities to outsource resources. For example, the cloud model “Infrastacture as a Service” (IaaS) provides access to IT infrastracture that is traditionally provided and maintained by an external provider. This way, a complete network or data center can be set up without the need for your own hardware, the size of which can be scaled at any time. But...

HPC – High Performance Computing
High Performance Computing (HPC)
  • Know-how

High Performance Computing is also known as supercomputing and refers to powerful computing. HPC solutions use specific technologies to handle computationally intensive tasks and process large amounts of data. For this, parallel computing processes and aggregated systems are used. Find out more about HPC and which processes are available here.

Function as a Service (FaaS)
Function as a Service (FaaS)
  • Know-how

Cloud computing services are on the rise. This gives developers the opportunity to concentrate entirely on programming application packages. Provisioning by FaaS providers accelerates development and eliminates the need to manage server infrastructures. Automatic scaling and more efficient cost structures make FaaS a solid alternative to classic programming.

Fog computing
Fog computing
  • Know-how

Traditionally, cloud solutions are designed for central data processing. IoT devices generate data, send it to a central computing platform in the cloud, and await a response. However, with large-scale cloud architectures, such a system inevitably leads to bandwidth problems. For future projects such as connected cities and smart manufacturing, classic cloud computing is a hindrance to growth. The...

Edge computing
Edge Computing
  • Know-how

Autonomous cars, intelligent factories and self-regulating supply networks – a dream world for large-scale data-driven projects that will make our lives easier. However, what the cloud model is and how it works is not enough to make these dreams a reality. The challenge of effectively capturing, evaluating and storing mass data requires new data processing concepts. With edge computing, IT...

Docker container
Docker container
  • Know-how

Application virtualization with Docker containers is very popular. However, the subject may seem difficult to grasp at first because of all the concepts involved. The relationship between a Docker image and a Docker container often seems particularly confusing. In this article, we will explain what Docker containers are all about. We will go into detail about their structure, creation, and use.
