Big data stacks are being moved to the cloud, enabling enterprises to get the most value from the information they own. But as demand for big data grows, enterprises must enhance the performance of their cloud assets. Faced with the complexity of cloud environments, most enterprises resort to scaling up their whole cloud infrastructure, adding more compute, and running more processes.

There has been an ongoing surge of companies beginning to run Spark on Kubernetes. In our recently published 2021 Big Data on Kubernetes Report, we discovered that 63% of today's enterprises are running Spark on Kubernetes. The same report found that nearly 80% of organizations embrace Kubernetes to optimize the utilization of compute resources and reduce their cloud expenses. However, running Spark on Kubernetes is not without complications and problems.

Organizations are adopting cloud in a big way. Some went whole hog right away, but most took a hybrid approach for security, compliance, or just to move more cautiously. No matter the reason, hybrid clouds can leave network pros a little, well, foggy. No longer can you see, fix, and run your network across your data center, private clouds, public clouds, and SaaS. Ai ai ai! Never fear! Read this short white paper on how to achieve network observability nirvana in your hybrid cloud.

For decades, IT teams have relied on on-premises, network-centric approaches to IT management. As these teams have grown to manage more and more cloud- and SaaS-based products for the business users, they have staunchly persisted in their use of legacy management tools. Even the growing mobile, field, and remote workforce has only marginally impacted IT management methods, with most simply finding workarounds to their network-centric systems that leave end-users frustrated and unsatisfied.

In the last year, the dual pressures of accelerating digital transformation and delivering seamless remote experiences have challenged IT teams to fundamentally adapt. Facing constrained budgets, threats from would-be cybercriminals, and a surge in new remote devices, their role has grown both increasingly critical and increasingly complex. NinjaOne's latest report looks at the top challenges and trends impacting IT efficiency. Read the report to learn how manual processes could be costing IT teams time, money, and exposing them to new risk.

Are you ready to migrate to HANA? When HANA platform is implemented correctly, it has proven itself to deliver greater results in analytic intelligence, performance, data processing, and better ROI with faster time-to-value. Planning and executing a successful migration to SAP HANA depends upon a comprehensive understanding of the overall process and careful monitoring during the five main stages of a migration.

SAP software runs every aspect of many enterprises, from mission-critical line-of-business systems to administrative and support services. Ensuring the availability of these systems is crucial - an IDC report estimates that system outages can cost a company between $500,000 to $1 million or more per hour.

For the past several decades, networks have increasingly become a critical part of business operations. The global pandemic only intensified the importance of networking, with more companies and individuals taking their worlds almost entirely online. This shift also put the spotlight on the need for 24/7, always-on network connectivity.

Helpdesks and IT teams are inundated with repetitive, timeconsuming, often low-value tasks that distract from larger strategic projects. With most IT leaders saying their staff is already stretched thin, this leaves little room for important projects that will lead to greater organizational productivity and efficiency. Most of the repetitive, time-consuming, and low-value tasks that plague helpdesks can be automated away through scripts and Ninja's automation engine.

Patch management is one of the most important tasks an IT team undertakes. Businesses spend significant resources on keeping their infrastructure up-to-date, yet more than half of breaches could have been prevented by installing available software and OS patches. We worked with Ninja partners to understand how they use NinjaOne's patch management capabilities and combined their expertise with our own. In this guide we share those insights so new partners can get the most out of patch management.
