Cloud computing has been a driver of cost savings over on-prem IT infrastructure and has become a leading source of IT spending. However, lately, this theory is being challenged due to ballooning cloud costs. In this article, Sandeep Shilawat, a renowned tech innovator, thought leader and strategic advisor in U.S. federal markets, examines the economic impact of the marginal cost of multi-cloud computing, explores how marginal costs can be reduced to near zero and analyzes how the complexity of multi-cloud environments is affected.

The EDGEDATA-CM project, led by Antonio Fernández Anta from the IMDEA Networks Institute, has worked to propose new architectures and hybrid solutions that combine edge computing, fog computing, cloud computing, and blockchain. This project is focused on the development of a new computing infrastructure for highly decentralized hybrid systems, which combines the advantages of edge computing and cloud computing.
