Application performance monitoring software is a basic need for most tech-related companies in the world. APM software is built by tech companies to help in the performance management of the application. Open Source APM tools are those whose source code is publicly accessible. In fact, for any software which is open source, the source code of the application must be publicly accessible on Github or any other website.

I’m excited to be able to announce the availability of the new eG Enterprise Express Logon Simulator for AVD that now provides any AVD administrator with a no-risk, powerful “synthetic” monitoring tool to track logon performance and failures.Slow logon performance has been one of the most challenging user complaints that VDI and digital workspace administrators and support teams have to deal with.

Near-instantaneous performance. Silky smooth user experience. This is what your digital users are expecting from your web application. If they perceive slowness or encounter failures in their user experience, they will readily switch to a competitor. Failures are a fact of life. The SRE (site reliability engineering) movement is helping craft modern digital systems that are engineered for resilience to failures.

Thinking about breaking into the DevOps space? DevOps has become one of the biggest tech buzzwords. Tech giants – like Facebook, Amazon, or Google – have numerous open positions for DevOps engineers. But it is a competitive field to break into. So if you’ve been prepping for DevOps roles, here are some of the most common interview questions (and potential answers) to expect, including.

Kubernetes has quickly grown in popularity, also due to its flexibility and power as a container orchestration system.

In today’s tech-savvy world, apps not only add value to your brand but are also required to deliver fast responses and real-time problem solving with 24/7 availability. If your business relies on software applications for day-to-day operations, application performance monitoring (APM) is critical. APM tools allow you to pinpoint performance issues quickly, ensuring peak app performance.

Recently, we hosted a great joint webinar with the team from AVD TechFest to present the results of a survey we conducted jointly to assess real-world Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) usage and industry and customer sentiments towards the AVD technologies. Alongside myself, Peter Claridge from eG Innovations and Simon Binder, digital workplace architect at Cygate and co-founder of the community-oriented AVD TechFest, were answering Azure Virtual Desktop questions.
