Working remotely is becoming the norm for more and more businesses. Many companies have offices spread throughout the world, decentralized employees or contractors, or they simply have a flexible work from home (WFH) policy. Remote work is an aspect of digital transformation that is often left out of conversations when it comes to ensuring business continuity and driving growth.
We all know that systems fail. We plan for this with failover partners and system backups. But can you really trust your backups?

The debate around allowing employees to work from home is now moot. Due to these unusual times, businesses must have the ability to handle the majority of their primary functions remotely. The implications of this are pretty broad in scope and have IT shops scrambling to address the concerns of how to monitor the applications that enable efficient work from home strategies.
When discussing monitoring with IT and technical operations teams, it comes as no surprise that every team has its own parameters and requirements for their particular environment. Some teams just need an up-down of specific devices or interfaces, and others need more granular metrics like JVM or database performance. At the end of the day though, everyone is responsible for a service.
Even with a complete understanding of the benefits that come with running a hybrid environment, companies are still challenged with digital transformation best practices: what to move, when to move it, what’s being spent, how it’s performing, and what’s being overutilized and underutilized. This is why Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the most strategic partners in LogicMonitor’s ecosystem.
Working from home today? You’re not alone. Well, maybe you are alone, but hopefully, you catch my drift. During these unusual times, many schools and businesses are keeping their students, employees, and customers safe at home while ensuring they can still work and study effectively.

At the core of the LogicMonitor solution, there is the LogicMonitor Collector. The Collector is a small Java app installed on servers in your environment that collects monitored data from your various devices and then sends that data to LogicMonitor for retention and display. The Collector is what connects your environment to the cloud and allows you access from anywhere. However, sometimes these Collectors can go down, potentially leading to gaps in monitoring.

The race is on to turn data into useful information. Company executives across a wide range of departments are increasingly tasked with modernization and digital transformation initiatives. But what is digital transformation in IT? IT pros are racing to keep up with rapid industry changes and must consider efforts such as digitizing assets, restructuring department goals to focus on providing a seamless customer experience, or shifting from on-premises to public cloud.
