Bare Metal Cloud Market Valued At Approximately US$ 870 MN, and Will Exhibit 20% CAGR Through 2029 The Courier - The Courier

In December 2020, the SolarWinds Orion attack resulted in more than 18,000 customers unwittingly installing malicious code as part of a run-of-the-mill software update, compromising global companies critical supply chains and costing cyber insurance firms upwards of $90 million. Similarly, the recent Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Vaccine Cold Chain Global Phishing campaign was a cyberattack against the key organizations running the COVID-19 cold chain. These phishing attacks tried to gain credentials for accessing sensitive information about the vaccine distribution, which in all likelihood, led to significant information leaks.

According to The Economists recent survey of 400 executives at U.S. and European companies, more than one-third (36%) reported cyberattacks significantly disrupted their supply chains in the last three years. In fact, cyberattacks were second only to COVID-19 as the force wreaking havoc with the worlds supply chains in 2020. With an average cyberattack costing approximately $3.9 million due to system downtime, damaged reputation, lost business or other factors, it is imperative that we bolster efforts to secure our supply chains.

The first thing to understand is that the number of security breaches is directly proportional to the level of supply chain automation. Specifically, the improper implementation of automation is what increases the susceptibility of a supply chain. So, breaches will grow exponentially as we hurriedly move toward a fully automated supply chain, with statistics projecting damages directly driven by cybercrimes to reach $6 trillion by the end of this year.

GEP

Here are steps you can take to protect supply chains from cyberattacks.

1. Identifying where the risk lies. The most common causes of supply chain breaches are weak and stolen credentials, application vulnerabilities, malware, excess permissions, insider threats and user error. So, conduct a thorough evaluation of your supply chain partners and understand what data is being shared with whom. Ensure maximum security and limit your data exposure by establishing where unnecessary data is being shared. Minimize access to cloud servers storing important information.

2. Secure supplier contracts. Instead of thinking about security after completing contract negotiation, incorporate it into the contract from the very start and be clear about what information is required and by whom. Ensure only limited access to third-party vendors (with third-party vendor misuse being one of the biggest security threats today).

3. Conduct vulnerability mitigation and testing. By running vulnerability scans, you can identify various security concerns such as poor password choices or bad database configurations and mitigate the level of risk for various fragments of the supply chain.

4. Encrypt data. All protected customer information should be contained in encrypted and secure files that are constantly updated to keep pace with the newest technologies.

5. Establish incident response protocols. While supply chains should mitigate the risks of security breaches, you must be ready to respond to such incidents by having a plan in place. By preparing a handy template to record all key aspects of an incident to ensure consistency, readily available forensic imaging tools and the contact details of all key stakeholders to ensure quick outreach, you can minimize the damage from an attack.

Supply chain attacks will continue to increase costs and in propensity. In fact, the greatest threat to supply chains going forward is not pandemics, trade wars or tariffs; its cyberattacks. While we automate our supply chains, we must simultaneously harden our security to protect, track and respond.

How to Mitigate Cyberattacks from the Supply Chain - Supply and Demand Chain Executive

History doesnt really repeat itself, but it surely does use a lot of synonyms and rhymes, and sometimes, if you listen very closely, you can catch it muttering to itself.

It is with this in mind that we contemplate the recent data coming out of Mercury Research, which is the touchstone tracker of market share data for X86 processors for mobile and desktop PCs and when AMD launched itself into the server racket in 2003, it became the arbiter of official server share stats for the X86 server space.

After a six-year fight to get back into the datacenter, with an 11.5 percent shipment share of X86 processors sold into the datacenter in the first quarter of 2021 and a solid and credible roadmap against a staggering but recovering rival Intel, it is once again safe to bet on AMD processors in the datacenter with the Epyc line. And now we will see if AMD can meet the high water mark it set in the mid-2000s when it had 2.3X the market share that it currently is enjoying.

The Opteron chips set a very high bar for AMD to leap. The Sledgehammer Opteron processors were announced in the fall of 1999 and delivered in the spring of 2003 to great fanfare and a certain amount of resistance from server OEMs who were afraid of crossing Intel, which was nowhere as dominant as it is today, or rather was three years ago. The original Opterons were innovative in many ways, including having 64-bit processing and memory access, multicore designs from the get-go, HyperTransport interconnects, integrated DDR memory controllers, and integrated caches that sat on a ring instead of the frontside bus a bandwidth limiter and therefore a performance limiter employed by Intel.

When the Opterons launched, X86 servers comprised about half of server revenues, and the shipments of X86 server CPUs were considerably smaller than they are today. Take a look at this historical chart based on more than two decades of data from Mercury Research to see just how much the server world has changed thanks in large part to hyperscalers and public clouds:

This data runs from the first quarter of 2000, which marks the beginning of the dot-com bust, more or less, and back then, well shy of 1 million server CPUs per quarter were shipping. Shortly after the Opterons launched in early 2003, thanks to the aggressive pushes by IBM and Sun Microsystems and Cray, particularly in the HPC arena that was so hungry for cheaper 64-bit compute (RISC and proprietary CPUs were relatively expensive), memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and I/O bandwidth, AMD quickly rose to 5 percent share of server shipments. Intel fought back as best it could between 2003 and 2009, when its Opteron-alike Nehalem Xeon E5500 processors launched into the gaping maw of the Great Recession, which made OEMs and now ODMs as well as their hyperscaler and public cloud customers a bit skittish at the same time that the Opteron line ran into some bugs and some architectural issues. The Xeon server revamp and the steady cadence of architectural advances and manufacturing advances from Intel essentially forced AMD from the datacenter, and the company walked away about a decade after the Opterons launched. The server shipments just kept rolling faster and fast, eventually compelling AMD to re-enter the server arena.

If you look at that chart above, the question you have to ask is what kind of curve are we going to get for AMDs market share in the future? Is a new spike forming that will be as steep as we saw in the early years of the Opteron? In the second quarter of 2006 which was nearly three years before the Nehalem Xeon revamp AMD peaked at 26.2 percent share of server CPU sockets sold in a quarter. The rise was very fast, but the decline was about as steady and deadly. The climb during the three Epyc server chip generations, the first of which launched in the spring of 2017, has been a little more rapid than the Opteron decline, which is good. But it is nothing like the spike the Opterons saw as Intel hung on to 32-bit processing for Xeons as it tried to force people onto the 64-bit Itanium processors for servers.

Intel made a set of architectural blunders that gave AMD the opening for the Opterons and, as it turned out, it made a set of chip manufacturing blunders that would have also beset AMD if it had kept its foundry instead of spinning it out as GlobalFoundries and allowing itself to choose Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp as its foundry. Think about that bullet AMD dodged. Imagine if it was trying to pick up the tab for a 7 nanometer EUV foundry, and then had to spike it as GlobalFoundries did back in August 2018. The mind reels. . . .

As it is, AMD has a very good partner in TSMC and has put very good processors into the field. If current trends persist, in about a year, AMD will be at around 25 percent market share, which is no doubt its goal even though Lisa Su, AMD president and chief executive officer, will never say that. Su pointed to the lower deck of 10 percent when the Naples Epyc 7001s launched four years ago, and there is no way she is going to point to the 25 percent upper deck for the Genoa Epyc 7004 or Turin Epyc 7005 processors due around 2022 and 2023, respectively. And for good reason. AMDs share of the desktop and mobile PC market hovers between 15 percent and 20 percent most of the time.

It is almost as if markets like 80-20 distributions for major and minor players, but the server market may not play out quite this way. Intel may, as bullies say in elementary school, get two for flinching. Like this:

It is entirely possible that Intels server decline will be similar in shape and slope as its rise over the past decade, especially if the big public clouds and HPC centers of the world embrace the Arm architecture and do custom chips and AMD also keeps the heat on Intel, too, in the X86 arena. Markets also like 65 percent, 25 percent, 10 percent stratifications or even 60 percent, 20 percent, 20 percent when there are three players competing. And, and, and if Arm architectures start being a conundrum for AMD, it may even have to dust off its own Arm server chip efforts or pick up some Neoverse tech and take on Nvidia in the high-end Arm CPU sector for HPC and AI applications.

Stranger things have happened, and history keeps whispering about them.

Excerpt from:
AMD Finally Breaks The 10 Percent Server Share Barrier - The Next Platform

Even before the pandemic led to increased remote work migration, many organisations were becoming increasingly reliant on cloud solutions to streamline systems and workflow.

By Danie Thom, hybrid cloud platform specialist at Red Hat

But as with any enterprise technology, implementing cloud solutions comes with questions about the best way for individual businesses to harness their benefits.

By now, were realising that using a single cloud vendor can lead to limitation, and that a flexible, multi-vendor strategy is better for innovation. Although using a variety of cloud environments gives businesses the ability to adapt to changing business requirements, it also requires integration.

Open source gives organisations an answer to this: it offers unmatched flexibility while also cutting the costs of software acquisition.

A lot of the cloud is already built on open source

Open source vs proprietary software conversations may lead one to believe that open source is the exception rather than the rule, but Linux, the open source operating system that revolutionised data centre operations, enables almost all of the major public clouds being used today.

It continues to power new cloud-native technologies. Kubernetes, an open source container-orchestration platform, has also become the industry standard for managing cloud-native workloads. It automates the deployment, scaling, and management of application containers and allows you to move workloads effortlessly between on-premise, private, or public cloud infrastructure.

Its clear that open source cloud shouldnt be treated as some kind of strange new tech, but what exactly are the business benefits of using an open source cloud in a hybrid environment?

Agility in a hybrid cloud environment

The public cloud is the best way for organisations to access IT resources that can easily be increased or decreased as needed, offering flexibility, scalability and cost-savings (if used correctly). Internal private clouds, with their on-premise servers, give companies some of the benefits of the cloud with added security and without having to sacrifice control of their environment.

To take advantage of the best of both the public and private cloud, many businesses implement hybrid cloud environments.

Historically, organisations have managed their public and private clouds separately, but an open source hybrid cloud approach allows them to integrate these different environments into a single, comprehensive platform. This means on-premise services can have the same agility, functionalities and seamless experiences of a versatile public cloud.

If businesses want the same flexibility from their on-premise data centres that they experience with the public cloud, they can no longer manage them in traditional and siloed ways. You must be prepared to adapt your technology, people, and processes to gain any advantage.

When computing demands fluctuate, businesses should be able to divert their workloads in a way that is both optimal for performance and for usage costs. Open source technology and methodologies enable this, and they mean that a business is less likely to be constrained by the functionalities of its cloud solution.

Compared to proprietary solutions that are rarely cross-compatible, open source cloud infrastructure is also designed for interoperability, allowing different apps, servers or containers to work in harmony on different public cloud providers platforms. You could even duplicate your infrastructure from one cloud to another without a significant amount of modification, meaning less time wasted and increased productivity.

With the convergence of virtualisation (running multiple virtual machines on a single server) and containerisation (ways of running multiple applications on a single virtual machine) helping businesses run more by using fewer resources, open source hybrid cloud approaches become even more beneficial.

An open source hybrid cloud platform allows you to containerise apps into their individual functions and develop and manage them all in one place regardless of what platform they come from. Theres no need to worry about the underlying tech; open source gives you a portable, stable, and secure way of running your applications. Developers also become more productive and operations more efficient.

Freedom of choice

Proprietary cloud solutions create vendor lock-in, often limiting businesses to standardised solutions that can result in walled software gardens and dependency on one providers suite of products or services. This limits a business options when they need added functionality, platform integration or simply want to change cloud providers.

With an open source cloud, youre never tied to functionalities or one particular platform, instead giving you the ability to choose from whichever cloud services best suit your needs.

Businesses that use open source cloud services can also integrate them into one cohesive ecosystem and customise them to their specific needs. This allows them to use a vast ecosystem of technology and services creating a digital platform that fits their unique requirements, with secure, automated application runtimes.

Rich integration, business process automation, and automatic decisioning can be used to create immersive customer engagement anywhere.

An open ecosystem

We shouldnt be thinking about the cloud as the location of workloads and resources, but rather how we run them. The key to unlocking the power of the cloud is to treat it like an ecosystem, fostering interconnectedness, openness, and standardisation across cloud architectures.

An open source cloud strategy is made for this as it increases code quality, flexibility and the availability of features, improves visibility over every layer of infrastructure, and gives businesses the ability to move between platforms.

Because of its interoperability, going the open source route also doesnt have to mean businesses need to move away from their existing proprietary cloud architecture. Rather, it allows them to gain independence and create custom solutions where they most need them.

With collaboration and openness being the future of software and the future of cloud, if businesses want to remain both integrated and innovative, an open source cloud strategy is essential.
