Welcome to our blog on securing assets and preventing fraud with RFID in the retail industry. With the increasing trend of online shopping, it has become more challenging for retailers to secure their assets and prevent fraud. In addition, traditional methods of asset tracking and inventory management have proven to be time-consuming and error-prone, leading to losses in revenue and customer trust.
Maintenance and Asset Utilization are two critical aspects of the hospitality industry that require close attention to ensure efficiency, safety, and profitability. To achieve optimal performance in these areas, the industry has been exploring new technologies to manage assets better and automate maintenance activities. One of the technologies that have shown promise in achieving this objective is RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
IOException is the most generic exception in a large group of Java exceptions that express input/output and networking errors in Java applications.
If you’re in DevOps, you know the word ‘Kubernetes’. While saying that mouthful of a word (generally shortened to k8s in text) would have gotten you a weird look and someone asking if you need to lie down before 2017, it’s been sacrilegious to even consider starting a project without architecting your solution on top of it in the last few years.
The different states of system processes are essential to understanding how a computer system works. Each state represents a specific point in a process's life cycle and can impact system performance and stability.
As a system administrator, understanding how your Linux system's CPU is being utilized is crucial for identifying bottlenecks and optimizing performance. In this blog post, we'll dive deep into the world of Linux CPU consumption, load, and pressure, and discuss how to use these metrics effectively to identify issues and improve your system's performance.
Context switching is the process of switching the CPU from one process, task or thread to another. In a multitasking operating system, such as Linux, the CPU has to switch between multiple processes or threads in order to keep the system running smoothly. This is necessary because each CPU core without hyperthreading can only execute one process or thread at a time.
Swap memory, also known as virtual memory, is a space on a hard disk that is used to supplement the physical memory (RAM) of a computer. The swap space is used when the system runs out of physical memory, and it moves less frequently accessed data from RAM to the hard disk, freeing up space in RAM for more frequently accessed data. But should swap memory be enabled on production systems and cloud-provided virtual machines (VMs)? Let's explore the pros and cons.
Cost optimization has been one of the hottest topics in observability (and beyond!) lately. Everyone is striving to be efficient, spend money wisely, and get the most out of every dollar invested. At Logz.io, we recently embarked on a very interesting and fruitful data volume optimization journey, reducing our own internal log volume by a whopping 50%. In this article, I’ll tell you how exactly we achieved this result.
