The shift from a capital-intensive IT model to one that leverages operational costs, reducing costs overall, ensuring greater agility and less management complexity is no small feat.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be used to shift the focus of IT resources to activities with higher added value for the business, as well as to support business innovation and, potentially, to reduce business risks. A wind of change is blowing in Italy if we consider that the government has allocated 105 million euros for 2020 in the Budget Law, 97 million for each of the years from 2021 to 2024 and 47 million for 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>30% of the increased resources are allocated to supporting technological investments<\/strong>, in big data, cloud computing, ultra-broadband, cybersecurity, advanced robotics and mechatronics, augmented reality, 4D manufacturing, Radio frequency identification and waste tracking and weighing systems. Of this 30%, \u20ac60 million is earmarked for micro and small enterprises investing in Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise, Puglia, Sardinia and Sicily.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_cta_74 et_animated et_pb_promo  et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_dark\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_promo_description\">\n<h4 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Incentives and support instruments<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_button_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button et_pb_promo_button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sviluppoeconomico.gov.it\/index.php\/it\/incentivi\">CONSULT NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_57 et_pb_divider_position_ et_pb_space\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_342  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Brokerage<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As the adoption of Cloud Computing continues to expand, so does the need for assistance in using these technologies. A cloud service brokerage firm is a service provider that plays an intermediary role within cloud computing.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gartner, to address this challenge, IT departments should understand whether they can position themselves within the organization as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/information-technology\/glossary\/cloud-services-brokerage-csb\"><br \/>\n  <em>Cloud Service Brokerage<\/em><br \/>\n<\/a>, establishing a purchasing process that drives cloud computing adoption and encourages business units to turn to the IT team to organize consulting and support services. And that&#8217;s not all.

What&#8217;s more, more than 31% of customers have experienced successful phishing campaigns. With this type of attack, cybercriminals use hacked cloud accounts to send phishing emails within the company: these messages appear trustworthy in the eyes of colleagues, and the attackers change the email forwarding rules or set themselves up as mandates to maintain access to the account.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is more necessary than ever to rely on experts in the field both in terms of the economic aspect but above all in terms of data security.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_58 et_pb_divider_position_ et_pb_space\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_343  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Migration or ad hoc environment?  <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\">Gartner<\/a> , enterprises should look beyond migrating workloads and embrace an approach that involves building cloud-optimized applications. <strong> &#8220;<\/strong>Many organizations, rather than building a cloud-specific environment from scratch, are first looking at the opportunity to migrate existing workloads to a cloud system and\/or service infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31740\" src=\"http:\/\/temp_new.vmenginelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/giphy-1-3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"499\" height=\"374\"><\/p>\n<p>This approach can provide significant benefits if workloads consume highly variable resources, or if applications naturally scale out.

Businesses choose different providers depending on which provider makes the most sense for a specific business scenario. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to be able to use a mix of methods and suppliers to meet business conditions. Hybrid cloud models provide CIOs with greater resiliency, including more than one mode for <em>failover<\/em> in the event of a service outage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_127\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/temp_new.vmenginelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31738\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_60 et_pb_divider_position_ et_pb_space\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_345  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Cloud Computing &amp; Datacenters<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Apply Cloud Computing concepts to the design of future data centers and in channeling infrastructure investments to increase the agility and efficiency of EDCs.
