Two major shifts are simultaneously taking place in the world of website monitoring: the acceleration of digital dependence has increased the need for high-performing websites and the frequency (and severity) of downtime outages continues to climb. These shifts have made it more important than ever for businesses of all sizes and industries to monitor uptime and page speed.

When it comes to sophisticated software like System Center Operations Manager (SCOM), where a structure is vital to maintain your environment, your naming conventions are the key to long-term success. Many different people are involved in the process of monitoring. To maintain documentation and procedures, you must define how you should name parts used in SCOM. Everything from the management group name to groups, management packs, override management packs, views, and folders.

Jumping into monitoring software for the first time can be pretty overwhelming. If you're not in an exploring mood, it can be easy to get lost, and you're not entirely sure what all these knobs and buttons do. To help lighten this feeling for OnlineOrNot, I thought it might be useful to let folks know how I use OnlineOrNot, to monitor OnlineOrNot (as part of running OnlineOrNot day to day). Also, our friends at DebugBear wrote a similar article about how DebugBear uses DebugBear to keep their site fast.

Today, I would like to simplify the technical advantage that Nastel Technologies offers its clients. In a nutshell, Nastel is the leader in i2M (Integration Infrastructure Management) by managing a multi-middleware-platform infrastructure (MQ, Tibco, Kafka, Solace, …) from one interface.

If you’ve ever started a project to improve the load times for your website, web app, or mobile app, your heart is in the right place — but your efforts might not be. For many technology leaders, the first instinct is to blame code and infrastructure. They dive deep into optimizing front-end code, scale infrastructure resources, or migrate to a new type of database-as-a-service offering that promises to process requests a few milliseconds faster.

Ruby is an object-oriented programming language celebrated for its simple and easy-to-read syntax. It powers Ruby on Rails, the open source web development framework that streamlines common development tasks involved in building web applications. We’re pleased to announce that our Continuous Profiler, which provides low-overhead, code-level performance insights, is now generally available for Ruby applications.
