Bringing Clarity to the Cloud: Transparent Operations and Clear Responsibilities
Who is responsible for what in the cloud? The question may sound simple, but the answer often spans organisational and technological boundaries. As more workloads and services are introduced into a cloud environment, operational complexity increases. Without a clear responsibility model, the operation of platforms and applications can quickly become difficult to oversee, ultimately undermining efficiency.

The problem may go unnoticed for a while, but the first malfunction will quickly reveal that unclear responsibilities pose at least as great a challenge as the technical issue itself.

Cloud Exit Testing in Practice: A Phased Approach for Financial Institutions
The adoption of cloud technologies in the financial sector continues to accelerate, delivering significant benefits in terms of scalability, flexibility, and security.

Why are sectoral players not banging on the door for a hospital reference architecture?
The domestic health IT sector market is fairly limited, and suppliers have already largely divided the market among themselves. There is movement, of course, and the development needs and opportunities created by the National eHealth Infrastructure (EESZT) have given some companies room to grow in recent times. However, it can be argued that this market is not that enormous.

Is there a need for a hospital reference architecture plan?
Is there a reference architecture for hospitals in Hungary? Since we can find no trace at all of any hospital reference architecture plan in our country, we conclude that none exists. If it does exist, it has been successfully hidden, so, unfortunately, it cannot fulfil its function. Anyone missing it? Do we need it? Although we cannot find a domestic answer, there are known attempts at international level.
