SQL Server and Oracle are two of the most popular relational database management systems (RDBMS) in the market. Both products have been specifically designed to cater to the needs of large-scale enterprise applications, but they differ in terms of their architecture, pricing, scalability, and performance. When it comes to architecture, SQL Server follows a shared-nothing architecture, meaning that all nodes in a cluster share nothing but the network. On the other hand, Oracle uses a shared-disk architecture, where all nodes in a cluster access a common disk. The shared-nothing architecture of SQL Server allows for better scalability, as it eliminates any contention for shared resources. In terms of pricing, SQL Server is considered to be more affordable compared to Oracle. SQL Server offers per-core licensing, which allows customers to purchase licenses based on the number of cores in the server....

The environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards have their origins in the early 2000s, when socially responsible investing (SRI) began to gain popularity. SRI is an investment strategy that considers the social and environmental impact of an investment, in addition to financial returns. ESG standards are a way to measure and evaluate the social and environmental impact of a company or organization. Given the current state of our culture where we see hyper-sensitivity to the alleged contributing factors to climate change, the premonition that corporations have societal responsibilities, and the increase of woke politics we can see how ESG standards and metrics are pushed to the forefront. ESG metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) include a wide range of issues, such as carbon emissions, water usage, diversity and inclusion, human rights, and governance practices.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, has brought about a multitude of technological advancements that are transforming the way we do business. One of the most significant and influential trends to emerge in recent times is the rise of “as-a-service” models. If you are talking to the vendor, they would be quick to claim that this model has revolutionized the way companies and consumers interact with products, services, and technology, on the contrary if you talk to the seasoned and apolitical IT professional you will be enlightened on what happens when surrendering too much control to actors who are profit driven, which results in poor performance, vendor lock-in, lack of transparency, and most important costs overruns. Traditionally, businesses and consumers have been required to purchase products outright, then bear the costs associated with maintenance, upgrades, and support with th...
