The CTO Pocket Guide to Internal Developer Portals

The engineering macro-climate is in crisis. Market dynamics have put increased pressure on teams to ship faster in order to stay competitive, while budgets are under significant scrutiny.

As a result, onboarding is stalling out, incidents are up, and deployments are down.

Boost Data Center Efficiency: DCIM Meets ASHRAE Standards

ASHRAE provides detailed recommendations for data center environmental conditions through its Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments. These guidelines specify temperature and humidity ranges that ensure the optimal performance and longevity of IT equipment. The latest guidelines define four classes (A1 to A4) for allowable and recommended temperature ranges, with the recommended range for Class A1 being 18°C to 27°C (64.4°F to 80.6°F).

Migrating AIX to Linux

Today, everyone lives in a hybrid, multi-cloud world. The combination of continuously changing business drivers and complex, heterogeneous tech stacks means that virtually every organization has production workloads on-prem, in co-lo facilities, in private clouds, and in multiple public clouds.
