To stay alive and growing, tech organizations are always on the hunt for ways to increase the quality and stability of their applications and services. Doing so is essential if they want to prevent their customers from becoming their competitors’ customers, after all. This post is all about a specific process organizations can—and should—use to increase the availability and performance of their offerings and delight their customers: application performance management (APM).

In an earlier blog, we had discussed what is Microsoft Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) and why it is gaining popularity. In this blog, we present various community and vendor resources that can help you choose the right Azure instances for your Microsoft WVD deployment. Here, at eG Innovations, we offer a wealth of monitoring and simulation tools to allow you to monitor what real users are experiencing when accessing Microsoft WVD.

“Cost” would seem to underpin almost every decision IT teams make. Sure, business requirements drive overall operations budgets, but it’s always in tension with decades-old certainties about cost. It’s long been the unyielding constant of IT equations. In particular, IT pros migrating application infrastructures out of the data center have discovered the on-premises math of cost containment no longer works.

Not all industries are the same in terms of the sensitivity of data they handle. And as you mature as a company, you need to be more careful of how you handle your critical data. With the advent of modern cloud native technologies & Kubernetes, on-prem software is more viable now.

Why we felt there was a need for a full stack open source observability platform and how we went about building it.

This week, Gartner published the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring, which positions vendors according to their ability to execute and the completeness of their vision. This year, Datadog placed higher and further in both categories to move from our previous “Visionary” distinction, which we received the first time we were included on the Quadrant, into the “Leader” quadrant.

We’re excited to announce that Elastic has been named a Visionary in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring. We are thrilled with the Visionary placement and believe that it validates our differentiated approach to delivering a modern application performance monitoring solution, powered by the Elastic Stack. Download the complimentary report to see how Gartner evaluates the market, and why they recognized Elastic as a Visionary in our first time participating.

Federal IT pros have tracked application performance for decades. Today’s environments are far more complex than they’ve ever been, particularly with the quick and steady rise of cloud computing, mobile devices, and remote work. This enhanced complexity demands an improved ability to collect and track application performance metrics to ensure things are operating as expected and needed. But not all federal IT pros have the time or knowledge to keep up with the demand.
