Key takeaways As SaaS companies grow, they need infrastructure that will grow with them. Companies might need to scale up (adding resources to servers) or scale out (adding more systems, in more locations) depending on their growth strategies. A hybrid model often provides the best approach to scaling, enabling companies …
Key takeaways For streaming platforms serving educational institutions, infrastructure decisions have a critical impact on their ability to maintain margins. Cloud services with per-GB egress fees can reduce margins as streaming platforms expand their business to support growing demand. Bare metal infrastructure with flat monthly pricing helps platforms maintain margins …
Key takeaways Managing on-premises infrastructure can incur a “tax” of hidden operational complexity. Beyond monetary expenses, IT complexity restricts an organization’s speed and ability to innovate. Adopting a colocation model reduces the complexity tax, enabling internal teams to refocus on strategic projects. Every organization expects IT infrastructure to consume some …
Key takeaways Moving AI from experimentation to production introduces real-world challenges around performance, power, and cost. The NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU gives organizations a highly efficient, single-slot form-factor accelerator for inference, graphics, and video workloads. Combining the NVIDIA L4 GPU with bare metal gives organizations consistent access to GPU …
Key takeaways Enterprise IT decision-makers are pulling AI workloads back from the public cloud to meet strict compliance requirements and avoid consumption-based pricing. The workloads share four traits: steady-state utilization, heavy data movement, latency sensitivity, and regulatory or sovereignty constraints. Instead of completely abandoning the cloud, organizations are adopting hybrid …
Key takeaways Added IT responsibilities put pressure on IT teams to scale capacity without adding personnel. Technology executives recognize that moving forward with new initiatives requires a new operating model. Shifting to a colocation model enables organizations to reclaim engineering time and refocus IT teams on higher-value work. Time is …

Hivelocity enables studios and developers to stay focused …
Key takeaway Clinicians spend nearly half their working time in electronic health record (EHR) systems. Slow, unreliable system performance create frustration, which can contribute to clinician burnout and turnover. Moving from the cloud to dedicated infrastructure can deliver more consistent, reliable performance and reduce user frustration. When a clinician …
Key takeaways Hosted streaming platforms promise reliability, but their infrastructure can’t always deliver. Shared cloud infrastructure can delay workload processing, leading to poor viewer experiences. Moving to bare metal infrastructure can improve reliability of streaming experiences while also reducing costs. For hosted streaming platforms, maintaining exceptional reliability is critical for …
Key takeaways Cloud pricing is based around on-demand scalability that’s intended to support strong spikes in demand. However, many workloads don’t experience a high degree of traffic volatility—meaning that teams end up paying for burst capabilities they don’t truly need. As SaaS prices continue to rise, teams are looking for …
