Serverless computing: another step away from the data center
Summary
Serverless architecture has become a way for many developers and architects to meet ever-changing business requirements by automatically accessing the capabilities and capacity they need, without the fuss and muss of worrying about operating systems, provisioning servers, addressing storage, and other aspects of the plumbing underneath applications. To get a clear perspective on how serverless architecture can boost the technology fit in todays enterprises, we turned to Andres Rodriguez, founder and CTO of Nasuni (NAS Unified). IT executives and application developers dont want to be in the business of provisioning, maintaining and administering servers for the same reasons they first embraced the cloud. Executives demand the unlimited scale and on-demand capabilities that only the cloud delivers, and they dont want to deal with hardware and the manual processes it requires. These same services eliminate the need for costly backup and recovery infrastructure - and the hardware it requires - and enable true file synchronization and real collaboration with a global file lock while enabling enterprises to use object stores from Amazon, Dell EMC, Google, Hitachi, IBM, Western Digital and others as the new disk, but without any of the headaches that come with hardware.
