Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) Explained: Mobility is an unstoppable trend and its benefits are plentiful for businesses in 2022. However, great risks also follow and businesses must do their due diligence, which forces them to establish controls to balance the productivity. Whilst it is necessary to manage devices, there are other issues to consider. It is now vital to include applications and information that is distributed through smartphones and tablets.

Azure Blob Storage is a cloud-based object storage service provided by Microsoft Azure. It allows users to store and manage large amounts of unstructured data, such as text, images, videos, and documents. With its high availability, durability, and global reach, Azure Blob Storage provides an ideal solution for businesses and individuals to store and access data securely.

I started a fish farm because I realized that the three marine biologists in the world weren’t giving up their jobs. It was 2014 and I had just finished a degree in marine ecology, so it seemed like a good idea in my head. Of course, actually building and operating a fish farm — technically, an aquaponics farm — turned out to me much harder than I ever expected.

Canonical strongly believes that the future of automotive will rely on open source to define and run the next generation of vehicles. To drive this transition, state-of-the-art cybersecurity and functional safety are critical. To learn more about the industry’s specific constraints, we are actively involved in several automotive consortiums and are contributing to automotive-related standards.

SQL databases have several functions that reduce the complexity of working with date and time. Using these functions and a date and time type column, you can depend on SQL for the logic to write and read data with date and time. In this post, you’ll learn how to use the SQL date and time functions to get the current date and time.

In this live stream discussion, Eugene Katz and I explain the importance of a quality reference architecture in successful software deployment and guide viewers on how to begin with the Cribl Stream Reference Architecture. They help users establish end-state goals, share different use cases, and help data administrators identify which parts of the reference architecture apply to their specific situation. It’s also available on our podcast feed if you want to listen on the go.

The open source community talks a lot about the problem of aligning incentives. If you’re not familiar with the discourse, most of this conversation so far has centered around the most classic model of open source: the solo unpaid developer who maintains a tiny but essential library that’s holding up half the internet. For example, Denis Pushkarev, the solo maintainer of popular JavaScript library core-js, announced that he can’t continue if not better compensated.

Legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are good at executing transactions and producing document-based outputs, such as purchase orders. But they fall short when it comes to connecting the work of users across departments and functions. Prebuilt ERP workflows can help. Having spent more than 25 years in the ERP space, I’ve seen only a handful of customers with a single ERP instance.

DevOps, as a combination of development and operations, is the process by which companies build and manage software and deliver it to customers. A good DevOps strategy unites team members around shared goals and gives them the support and tools they need to complete the job well. However, as with many things in the business world, successfully using DevOps principles and managing a cohesive team can be easier said than done. At least a small part of that difficulty comes down to fuzzy definitions.

Two software solutions that most MSPs cannot live without are known as professional services automation (PSA) and remote monitoring and management (RMM). However, it’s no secret that software solutions are expensive, so does your business really need both? Decide which software you should use after reviewing this comparison of PSA vs. RMM.
