The business of cloud networking can feel hidden and solitary. For such an important function, where are all of the resources we need to be successful? Where does the community go to share and learn?
In this “Resource Radar” series, we’ll spotlight some hidden gems – one potentially obscure but invaluable resource each week – curated specifically for secure cloud networking professionals seeking to expand their toolkit beyond the mainstream. Join us as we uncover the tools, communities, and knowledge bases that are powering innovation and professional growth across our industry.
Simplifying Cloud Infrastructure & Enterprise Technology
Kicking off this series is Runtime, a cutting-edge technology publication specifically designed for professionals responsible for making crucial purchasing decisions about complex enterprise technology solutions within their organizations.
Tech publications can often feel too broad to be useful for practitioners in secure cloud networking. However, Runtime covers a comprehensive range of enterprise technology disciplines – including cloud infrastructure, software development tools, enterprise hardware and software, information security, applied AI, and emerging technologies – which directly intersect with the interests of those in the field. Runtime’s editorial approach, emphasizing clarity and depth, helps readers navigate complicated technological landscapes to understand how those affect their day-to-day work.
From Influencers to Infrastructure – Without the Marketing Rhetoric
Runtime is founded by Tom Krazit, an editor and writer who brings two decades of industry expertise and experience in tech. His resumé includes leading names such as IDG, CNET, GigaOm, Geekwire, and most recently Protocol – a media company that reported on the people, power, and politics of tech.
Through this time, Tom has honed his ability to explain complex technological developments for the varying perspectives of everyone from the well-versed business executive to the novice who just bought their first smartphone. This superpower is why Runtime so elegantly delivers focused analysis and insights that go beyond standard vendor narratives.
Keep an eye on Runtime for a diverse suite of content including a thrice-weekly newsletter highlighting original coverage and key industry developments, in-depth news analysis, interviews with industry leaders, and both virtual and live events. This multi-format approach allows Runtime to serve as a trusted resource for enterprise decision-makers seeking substantive information rather than marketing rhetoric.
