  • Cloud networking vs. Cloud computing

    Organizations might sometimes consider cloud computing and cloud networking as interchangeable due to their similarities. But the two strategies have different goals and processes.

    Cloud computing is concerned about how applications run, while cloud networking covers how connectivity to and among applications is managed and delivered.

    In this infographic, learn more about the main features, uses and benefits of each of them.

  • Optimizing cloud costs through visibility and automation

    Cloud spending is set to reach 26% of IT budgets, but mismanagement leads to 40% overspending. With 30% of cloud workloads oversized and a quarter of subscriptions dormant, manual cost tracking is ineffective, and disparate systems hinder automation.

    FinOps teams need to align tech efforts with budget limits. ServiceNow Cloud Cost Management offers a unified platform to monitor hybrid cloud expenses, budget effectively, optimize resources, and deactivate unused services. ServiceNow users report significant savings from rightsizing and identifying inactive resources.
