These days it seems you can do just about anything in the cloud. Lower capital and operational costs are common benefits to consuming applications as a service. But the nature of the cloud can be particularly advantageous to some applications; for example, performance and load-based testing. Software testing as a service offers benefits that organizations previously weren’t able to achieve with on-premise testing.

I recently started freelancing for SearchHealthIT.com and am enjoying learning how technology is used to solve problems in the health care vertical. Health care is an area we can all relate to because we’re familiar with medical processes. It is also a space in which technology has a profound impact on our quality of life.
My most recent contribution to SearchHealthIT.com is a WAN optimization case study. Health care providers face unique challenges when it comes to transmitting medical images over the network. Traditional WAN optimization techniques, compression and caching, do not work. Read the case study and learn how Imaging Associates of Northern Mississippi overcame these challenges with the help of a WAN optimization solution from Circadence.

This poses several challenges to businesses, including overcoming network latency to provide instant access and maintaining multiple versions of applications for multiple device types and OSes. That’s where the cloud comes in.

The impact of cloud computing on IT cannot be understated. A lot of press coverage has been dedicated to the changing role of the IT practitioner and the IT organization as a whole; i.e., how it becomes a service provider for the business. But even within IT, relationships change:
The advent of cloud computing is changing the relationship between application development and operations teams, and the roles of the individuals within them. Organizations with mature DevOps are in a prime position to advance to what Forrester has dubbed NoOps. Under NoOps, the relationship between developers and operations hinges on improved collaboration and automation.
