Enterprise Environments Are Rapidly Evolving IT environments are becoming more complex. According to ESG research, two-thirds (66%) of IT professionals say that IT is more complex than it was two years ago. Now, the IT pendulum is swinging toward distributed environments – applications are housed in on-premises data centers, in public clouds (both IaaS and SaaS), and at the edge (ROBOs and more). Existing application architectures span monolithic, service-oriented architectures (SOAs) and microservices. Networks can range from physical to virtual, connecting traditional IT devices, IoT sensors and devices, virtual machines (VMs), and containers. These new environments are not only dynamic, but also, in some cases, ephemeral, with networks and associated services only running for mere seconds. • www.intelligentcio.com
