Businesses are always on the lookout for cost-efficiencies across their digital workplaces – but in times of economic uncertainty, departments that consume a lot of a company’s budget and resources are placed under the microscope to an even greater extent. IT departments in particular have been subject to scrutiny when it comes to cost-efficiency.
Developers are building features at an unprecedented speed using what they need from the software ecosystem. These ever-expanding options include open-source libraries and packages, SaaS tools, deployment systems, cloud services, and more. To keep things secure, we always need the same thing: a secret.
HAProxy. High availability and a reverse proxy–it’s in the name, but what does it all mean? Before understanding how the two concepts work together in the load balancing space, we need to unpack the basics of high availability and how a reverse proxy functions.
It's fairly common for folks in tech to dream of quitting their day job and working on their side projects. I find when you ask them how their projects are going, they tend to have 2-3 projects running at the same time, none of the projects are actually available for potential users to try out.

ManageEngine OpManager MSP is a reliable solution solely developed to help managed service providers with monitoring client networks and servers exhaustively. It has a wide range of out-of-the box features to help MSPs in their multi-client network monitoring journey.

In IT environments, incidents happen all the time and it's impossible to prevent all of them. Regardless of the available software solutions or the level of technical training of both users and developers, no organization is immune to incidents. The increased dependence on IT infrastructure to provide core services means that any disruption in IT services can cause any organization significant financial and reputational harm. For example, IT service providers need to resolve customer support tickets following the service-level agreements (SLAs), and failing to do so makes them liable for breaching such agreements.
Imagine being an Ops engineer in a team just struck by tragedy. Alarms start ringing, and incident response is in full force. It may sound like the situation is in control. WRONG! There's panic everywhere. The on-call team is scrambling for the heavenly door to redemption. But, the only thing that doesn't stop - Stakeholder Inquiries. This situation is bad. But it could be worse. Now imagine being a less-experienced Ops engineer in a relatively small on-call team struck by tragedy. If you don't have sufficient guidance, let alone moral support- you're toast.
