ManageEngine earns Major Player status for helping enterprises achieve resilient, high-performance digital ecosystems through unified full-stack observability.

By Bill Balnave, VP of Customer Success at Mezmo The core promise of modern observability is simple: cut Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR). Yet, despite a boom in tooling and investment over the last four years, the data tells a sobering story: our industry is actually getting worse at finding and resolving issues. Dashboards, once our trusted guide, have become the starting point for a chaotic "dashboard hunt" that rarely leads to the definitive root cause.

This year’s Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations and Cloud Strategies Conference made one thing abundantly clear: the industry is moving beyond reactive monitoring and isolated dashboards toward autonomous, outcome-driven IT operations. While AI and agentic automation dominated keynotes and vendor messaging, conversations on the show floor reflected a more grounded reality.

The cloud landscape is no longer just about "getting to the cloud"—it is about mastering the complexity once you are there. For organizations using VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), the stakes have never been higher. As infrastructure converges, the margin for error shrinks, and the need for precision grows. To understand how the industry is navigating these changes, we dive into the VMUG Cloud Operations and VCF User Experience Report 2026.

So you've built a client application and you've started sending telemetry. The information sent back by this client is vital to you, and one of the first things you care about is capturing and reporting errors. There are at least two ways to report error details in OpenTelemetry. Web applications generally place exceptions in trace spans as span events, and mobile applications send exceptions as log messages instead.

If data centres were a country, they’d rank fifth in electricity consumption by 2026. Over the past few years, the resulting carbon footprint of the technology industry has sparked the fast-growing green software movement, led by the Green Software Foundation. How can we continue to innovate software in a way that also minimises its impact on the environment? This has been a fascinating problem I’ve been exploring for a few years now.
