This blog is going to be short posts about enterprise technology infrastructure and the multiple paradigm shifts that have occurred in corporate/enterprise computing infrastructure in the recent decades. Mobility, Cloud Computing, IoT/IIoT/OT, and Cyber Security to name but a few.
This blog will focus mostly on architecture and design considerations appropriate for private organizations. Though often I will discuss enhanced security and reliably options, these posts may not be appropriate for systems with very significant consequences.
Mobile First is fundamentally a technology architectural constraint. No longer can you assume most users will be on the corporate network most of the time. Instead you assume the opposite, you assume most users will be on a yet to be determined network controlled by any entity other than the enterprise - a users home, cellular hotspot, coffee shop Wi-Fi, hotel Wi-Fi, etc. This means the endpoint (laptop, desktop, tablet, smartphone) and the target service (in an enterprise data center, or in the cloud) are responsible for security, you have to assume the local network or network connections to the target services are hostile
