Is a serverless DataStax Cassandra really more cost effective than managing your own Apache Cassandra clusters? We found savings, less complexity and lower infrastructure costs.
The goal of our study presented in this paper is to objectively uncover whether NetApp is truly positioned to deliver on value propositions to the enterprise. To meet this objective, we designed a field test derived from monitoring, troubleshooting, optimizing, and securing scenarios common to the modern enterprise with, or in the process of, migrating to a hybrid cloud.
This test measured enterprise response to usual and important situations including greedy/degraded applications, underutilized infrastructure, and ransomware simulations.

MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML, Google Vertex AI, and Amazon SageMaker. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time to value.
For the analysis, we used categories of time to value and enterprise capabilities. As shown in Table 1, our assessment resulted in a score of 2.95 (out of 3) for Azure ML using managed endpoints, 2.12 for Google Vertex AI, and 2.83 for Amazon SageMaker. The higher the score, the better, and the scoring rubric and methodology are detailed in an appendix to this report.

This report outlines the results from two GigaOm Field Tests (one transactional and the other analytic) derived from the industry-standard TPC Benchmark™ E (TPC-E) and TPC Benchmark™ H (TPC-H) to compare two IaaS cloud database offerings:
- Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instances.
- Microsoft SQL Server Microsoft on Azure Virtual Machines (VM).
A report by McKnight Consulting Group used industry-standard benchmarks to test three well-known, cloud-optimized analytical platforms – Vertica in Eon Mode, Amazon Redshift, and Snowflake.
Our study examined three public cloud service offerings that use natural language processing to meet the challenge—Google Cloud Healthcare API, Amazon Comprehend Medical, and Microsoft Azure Text Analytics for Health. We manually annotated medical notes to identify terms within the documents from a common set of entities and relationships. Next, we built an annotation taxonomy by comparing the taxonomies of the three NLP solutions and created a standard mapping of the entities and relationships shared by all three platforms. We then compared our annotations to the annotations of each solution, using the annotation taxonomy, and noted false negatives (not desired), true positives (desired), and false positives (not desired).

Application programming interfaces, or APIs, are a ubiquitous method and de facto standard of communication among modern information technologies. The information ecosystems within large companies and complex organizations encompass a vast array of applications and systems, many of which have turned to APIs for exchanging data as the glue that holds these heterogeneous artifacts together. APIs have begun to replace older, more cumbersome methods of information sharing with lightweight, loosely-coupled microservices.
In this report, we reveal the results of performance testing we completed on two API and Microservices Management platforms: Kong Enterprise and Google Cloud Apigee X.
The purpose of this Solution Spotlight is to extend the analysis from prior reports into more detail on several of the key criteria and evaluation metrics and further demonstrate Yellowbrick’s status as a Leader and potential as an Outperformer in the rapidly growing and competitive data warehouse space.
In this report, we performance tested security mechanisms on NGINX, AWS, and Azure: ModSecurity, NGINX App Protect WAF, AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF), and Azure WAF. This last product was tested as a fully managed security offering.
