In today's digital business world, a powerful and reliable IT infrastructure is crucial to a company's success. Cloud hosting offers flexible and scalable solutions. But how do you know if your current setup is still up to the job? Here are five signs that it's time for a cloud hosting upgrade.

Users expect modern web applications to provide ever faster, absolutely smooth interaction. Latency - a delay that occurs when data is transferred between two points - plays a crucial role here, as high latency times can have a significant negative impact on the user experience and, in cases of doubt, can even be detrimental to business. For comparison: according to a study by Akamai, an additional delay of 100ms already leads to an increase in loss potential of up to 7%. Companies should therefore consider this issue in detail.

Digital transformation is making cloud hosting an indispensable part of the IT infrastructure for many companies. However, with the increasing reliance on external services comes the need to secure the digital component of operations, as well as an increased desire to protect against data loss. After all, what used to be a file in a cabinet is now their data for fully digital companies. A recent study by the German Institute for Economic Research states that just 28% of companies in Germany currently have a high level of digitalization. However, the latest surveys show that digitalization will play a key role in securing the continued existence of companies with traditional business models. More than 50% of those surveyed stated that they are already addressing the issue. But what role does a good disaster recovery plan actually play in this context and how do cloud hosting providers fit into this equation?

In a recent survey conducted by the Federal Environment Agency in 2023, 57% of respondents stated that the environment and climate play an important role. Together with past surveys, this shows a clear positive trend that indicates the current and future importance of the topic. Sustainability is therefore playing an increasingly important role in all areas of life. With increasing relevance for society, the topic is also playing a key role in companies' daily business practices for the successful sale of products. For the cloud hosting sector, this primarily means promoting environmentally friendly, modern technologies in data centers, the use of renewable energies and the efficient use of existing resources. All with the aim of minimizing the ecological footprint of the IT infrastructure and making a contribution to climate protection. But what exactly is behind sustainable hosting?

Since its first release in 2014, Kubernetes has grown to become one of the most important technologies for container orchestration. As the foundation of modern cloud infrastructures, it has since enabled companies to run flexible and scalable applications efficiently. Thanks to continuous further development, such as support for multi-cloud environments, the integration of AI for cluster management and its growing role in automation, Kubernetes will continue to play a key role in digital transformation in 2025. Companies around the world are therefore continuing to rely on Kubernetes to meet the growing demands of modern IT landscapes and drive innovative projects forward. But what trends can be observed this year?

Choosing the right hosting provider is crucial for companies of all sizes. Particularly in times of continuous technological progress and the increasing complexity of solutions, topics such as flexibility, scalability and security should be given special priority. This makes it all the more important that the cloud infrastructure provider fits the company and fully fulfils personal requirements. In this article, we have summarized the most important criteria for you to consider when choosing your next cloud hosting provider.

In a dynamic business world, the introduction of a cloud-centric corporate culture is a key success factor for companies of all sizes that pursue digital concepts. This is because modern technology not only offers flexible and scalable IT resources, but can also lead to an enormous advantage at the organizational level. In this article, we analyze how the introduction of a technologically dynamic corporate culture can be used as a catalyst for a high level of innovation and collaboration in your own company.

With an increasing degree of digitalization, new technologies are playing an ever more important role in our everyday lives. Our own homes are becoming intelligent, card payments are possible even for the smallest amounts in stores around the corner and public services are also being modernized step by step. While this creates various benefits for consumers, this change also presents technology companies, aka. the drivers of innovation, with the challenge of processing ever larger volumes of data efficiently and quickly. Traditional public cloud solutions are often already reaching their limits and cannot properly fulfill certain functionality that requires real-time data processing. This is where edge computing comes into play.

While a cloud offers numerous technical advantages thanks to its flexibility and scalability, it also presents its users with a major challenge: cost control! A study conducted by Flexera in 2023 shows that this issue plays a central role for 82% of respondents. This is primarily due to the high volatility of these solutions. In order to maximize cost efficiency, it is therefore all the more important to introduce good processes and suitable tooling for your own use case. That allows you to maintain a consistent overview of the cost development of your technical solutions. In this article, we take a detailed look at possible solutions, analyze appropriate tools and provide suggestions for the successful implementation of a cost control process for cloud environments.

For many companies, the integration of cloud technology is an integral part of their digital transformation. It enables an enormous increase in technical as well as business efficiency and is therefore a dynamic approach to the demands placed on a company's own infrastructure. Cloud offerings help companies to remain competitive and retain the upper hand even in a technically volatile world. However, careful planning and a clear strategy are required to minimize the risks and realize the desired benefits. In this article, we take a detailed look at the step-by-step creation of a migration strategy for companies that want to successfully manage the transition to the cloud.
