Dedicated Servers vs. Bare Metal: What’s the Difference?
In infrastructure, two terms appear everywhere yet remain widely misunderstood: Dedicated Server and Bare Metal Server. To some, they mean the same thing.

Providers put out definitions of their own, and they’re not always aligned with how the technology actually works. The […]

Problems with Standard Colocation – Why Space and Power Aren’t Enough Anymore
Data center colocation used to be a simple deal. The operator leased you rack space or even an entire rack, guaranteed and provided power and cooling; you brought your servers, connected them, and used the services under a predictable and simple SLA. Back when workloads were static, architecture was monolithic, and “availability” was the only […]

What is Storage? A Deep Dive on Designing for Speed, Durability, and Data Behavior
Your storage setup decides how your system behaves when people actually use it. It decides whether a service keeps up under load, how much you end up paying for capacity, and how much trouble you’re in when something breaks.

It’s where the regulatory framework is more liberal – and more advanced – than anywhere else in the world. That place is Amsterdam. For companies […]

When the AWS outage hit on Monday, a huge chunk of the web went belly up. Major platforms slowed or went dark – social feeds, online stores, even connected home devices.

Public Cloud vs. Private Cloud: a Strategic Decision
We’ve talked at length about what informs the choice between public vs. private cloud for organizations. Today, we’ll zoom in on the financial implications of that choice. Infrastructure design is never neutral. Whether you pick public or private cloud directly affects workload economics, operational overhead, and security posture. It’s not about comparing features in isolation; […]

Foundational Video Streaming Infrastructure: The Three Pillars
Video streaming is a category of its own in the digital world. Where traditional web applications move small, transactional payloads, streaming demands continuous delivery of massive files to audiences that may number in the thousands or millions at once. A single HD feature film, encoded into multiple formats and resolutions, easily multiplies into tens of […]

AWS Alternatives in 2026: Why Companies Look Beyond the Hyperscaler
Amazon Web Services dominates the cloud market, but size isn’t the same as fit. Many businesses – especially those in bandwidth-heavy, high-risk, or cost-sensitive industries – discover that AWS’s complexity and unpredictable billing don’t align with their specific needs and objectives. That’s where AWS alternatives – cheaper public clouds or private, client-centric custom options enter […]

34% More Organic Traffic After Tailored CDN Configuration for Bot Whitelisting
Challenge During Google’s algorithm updates, Googlebot often ramps up crawl activity to re-index affected sites. Our client’s anti-hotlink system was tuned to block requests exceeding a fixed rate per IP, a rule that typically stops botnet traffic and abuse. However, this system did not distinguish between Googlebot and harmful bots. When Googlebot’s frequency exceeded the […]
