The emergence of cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) architectures has without a doubt disrupted the entire IT industry. Now it has extended to networking. This is due to the convenience of being able to easily connect and access resources from anywhere in the world has encouraged companies to embrace this technological revolution. VerlaineMuhungu, Freelance Network Technician and IT specialist, shares an article on TechTarget laying out 5 network requirements for cloud computing. Muhungu explains as companies move to the cloud, they want to scale, attract customers and generate more profits. “But it’s not always easy for network engineers to tackle cloud strategies or work with cloud teams. Collaboration between networking and cloud teams helps companies meet their cloud expectations,” he says. Those teams should consider the following networking requirements for cloud computing:

  1. Bandwidth and latency optimization.
  2. Security.
  3. Network resilience and redundancy.
  4. Quality of service (QoS).

Dairy Digitizes Through the Infor Multi-Tenant Cloud

Infor recently announced that dairy processor Cremo SA has selected Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage to optimize its processes and ensure product quality is always up to meet the highest standards. Per the press release, Cremo needed to meet customer requirements and guarantee the flow of information within the company, thus a secure and powerful IT infrastructure was required. The previously used enterprise resource planning (ERP) system no longer met the requirements in terms of process optimization and product quality. Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage, specifically tailored to the needs of the food and beverage industry, provides unique capabilities for dairies. In addition, Infor’s public cloud strategy can help Cremo adopt best practices and capabilities that have proved itself at many food and beverage manufacturers and, more specifically, dairy processors. The solution also meets the industry’s expectations of innovation, traceability, regulatory requirements, margin pressure and transaction speed. The scalability and security of the multi-tenant industry cloud platform powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) were further reasons that made Infor the right choice. Moreover, to ensure the success of this project, Cremo and Infor identified the relevant value drivers and held workshops with the process owners at Cremo to understand their way of working. This made it possible to evaluate the level of coverage of Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage.
