Software Deployment Models, Part I: The Public Cloud

Last Friday, we kicked off our series about software deployment models with a brief introduction to the three main deployment models you’ll find in use today: the public cloud, on-premise, and managed service.

An Intro to 3 Common Software Deployment Models

The history of web servers and networks is fascinating. IWeb’s hosting blog has a great history of servers in pictures, from 1981 to today. Going all the way from BITNET mailing lists on the IBM Virtual Machine, to RLX’s first blade server in 2001, and into today’s cloud computing, we’ve come a very long ways […]

Before the Bird, Tackle A Few Pre-Holiday Questions About Enterprise Mobility

We’re all just a little more than a week away from Thanksgiving. We wanted to get everyone’s attention before our brains became overwhelmed by stuffing recipes, Black Friday strategies, and backyard football game plans.

Taking MAM Understanding to the Next Level for Authentic Enterprise Mobility

We’re trying to find out who said, “to be early is to be on time.” Probably Ben Franklin? Google is vague at best on this one. In any case, the adage applies to App47 and the importance of MAM in the complete context of enterprise mobility management. App47 was founded — and we’re going back […]

Lessons in Determination From our Ironman Finishing CTO

Our CTO, Andy Glover, went for a run last night. That might not seem like a big deal. He’s an avid runner, logging double-digits every week.
