Meet the Team: Joseph

Hello all, my name’s Joseph and I work in Sales at Cloud Gateway.

A recent graduate, I completed my masters in computational chemistry at the University of Bath. During this time, I tackled four key challenges, namely: increasing intelligence with nootropics; developing cobalt-free batteries; beating antibiotic resistance; and designing intelligent drugs.

Drug Discovery in the Cloud: The Case for an Agile Network

Drug discovery, development, and manufacture are data intensive. As the need to utilise this data for analytics, collaboration, and compliance grows, we ask: is now the time to adopt an Agile network? The biopharmaceutical industry faces myriad challenges. Global pricing pressures, regulatory complexity, and a growing disconnect between modern capabilities and legacy systems are driving up costs, decreasing productivity, and preventing teams from adopting powerful machine learning (ML) based analytics.

‘Multicloud and the Agile Network’ Meetup Recap

Cloud Gateway’s inaugural 'Meetup' event, ‘Multicloud and the Agile Network’ took place on 18th June at Equinix’s London office in Devonshire Square. In the first of a series of regular meetups, the community heard three lightning talks from industry professionals, who shared their views on recent developments in the hybrid and multicloud world.

Leaving a Legacy

Francis Bell is a newcomer to the cloud community. In this article he shares his insights upon joining the industry, and considers the choice and pace of change that cloud technologies can offer. Before joining Cloud Gateway in February 2019, I worked in physical media, specifically in book printing. Switching from an industry with roots dating back to the 15th Century, to one at the forefront of innovation was quite a shock to the system! The last few months have been a steep learning curve, but intensely rewarding too.

Mobilisation, Globalisation and the impact on Network Borders

The enterprise or organisation of today is not contained in bricks, mortar or glass. We live in an age that is truly global, effortlessly mobile and not afraid to harness innovation and entrepreneurship. For all organisations, from the global powerhouses like Amazon, Microsoft or Google, through to disruptors like Uber or Monzo to lone entrepreneurs just starting their businesses, Cloud is key.

Lock the doors and close the windows!

The world of Cyber Security is full of very sophisticated systems all playing their part in keeping us safe as we increasingly go online in business and our everyday lives. The level to which these are deployed depends on your cyber security strategy, budget and risk. Thousands of these systems are available with more and more on the market every day.

From Deployed Ops to DevOps

Eighteen months ago, in the halcyon days of Summer 2017, I made the difficult decision after 13 years to leave my career in the British Army and move onto pastures new in the long-forgotten sunny uplands of Civvie Street. The subsequent year and a half saw me somehow transition successfully into civilian life, with blind faith, dogged determination and good luck miraculously negating a smattering of mistakes and shear panic as I faced the daunting prospect of re-entering the job market.

Partnerships – The Benefits for a Start-up

As a start-up company attempting to disrupt the Cloud Computing world, there are both benefits and disadvantages in being small, dynamic and “Agile”. I’d like to highlight how entering into meaningful, truly two-way partnerships has both lessened the disadvantages and allowed us to leverage many of the benefits of being a start-up.

Serverless and the Expo

The festive period is upon us but it’s hard not to keep pressing on exploring the wealth of content revealed and renewed at re:Invent 2018. I am still buzzing with ideas about new ways of architecting tech solutions.

Buy vs. Build – The Network Edition

As the juggernaut of Cloud continues to plough mercilessly forward and as the number of tools at the disposal of developers continues to grow, the conundrum of ‘Buy vs. Build’ in lieu of a Digital requirement appears to be leaning ever in the favour of ‘Build’. And is this really such a bad thing?
