To retain a competitive advantage in today’s fast-paced digital market, organizations need to focus on their application stack. Error-prone or bug-ridden applications may deter potential customers from visiting a site again. Organizations must monitor application performance at every level to ensure optimal performance of business applications.

Although AWS sometimes feels like magic, it’s just software that controls capacity and allocation on their previously provisioned hardware. RDS is one of the services that can feel especially magic, because of the general difficulty and drudgery required to set up and manage a production database. In a matter of minutes, anyone can have a production database, complete with replication, automatic failover, backup schedules, and point-in-time recovery.

As engineers, we are constantly bombarded with complex machine data. In order to better monitor and troubleshoot our environments, we must analyze and gain an accurate understanding of this data to best evaluate how our systems are performing and combat any issues that may occur. Yet, sifting through this data while managing the added intricacies of serverless architecture, microservices, containers, and other technologies make our jobs increasingly difficult to navigate.

At Atlassian, we want to give our customers choice in how they deploy Atlassian products: in the cloud, managed by Atlassian, or on the infrastructure of your choice with Server or Data Center. Many of our on-premise customers begin their Atlassian journey with our server products, with the ability to download our software and install it on a single server that you control. This gets you up and running quickly.

A few weeks back, eG Innovations collaborated with David Wilkinson and conducted a webinar on the topic “Is Citrix Cloud Enterprise Ready? Best Practices to get the Most Out of Citrix Cloud Deployments.” Citrix Cloud implementations are growing in the industry today, and as organizations begin evaluating their cloud options, Citrix administration teams want to understand how Citrix Cloud will sustain, scale and be supported in lieu of on-premises Citrix deployments.

In a world where everything comes down to moments of truth, teams must respond to issues and opportunities in seconds. Rising customer expectations demand real-time response, and effective DevOps and ITOps shouldn’t just be tied to laptops and desks.

April 7, 1969. This date marks the beginning of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC), which in its RFC 1 defined the Interface Message Processor (IMP) and laid the foundation for the computer world as we know it. What place do free server monitoring tools occupy in all of this?

When we introduced ‘remote actions’ in 2012, i.e. the execution of IT automation tasks from your smartphone, we aimed at empowering the mobile (IT) workforce of the future. We aimed at relieving IT people from being bound to their desks, notebooks and PCs.
