When was the last time you had to ask someone to repeat something during an MS Teams call, or had to restart the app, just because the call quality dropped? Sounds familiar? Frustrating, isn’t it? Now imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of employees feeling this frustration at work. Think of the time lost for them, for the organization, and—more importantly—for those who’ll need to fix it. As EUC professionals, we cannot let that happen.

We’ve just launched our inaugural State of Availability Report and the results are sobering. We discovered that: We’d hoped that at this point in the global digital transformation, organizations had gotten further ahead with mastering availability but there’s still a long way to go.

Technology leaders are expected to do a lot. Their business partners talk about evolution, agility, and the ability to change direction overnight in response to new and emerging threats and opportunities — with no loss of productivity.

You may be tired of the regular three-tiered infrastructure and the management issues it can bring in distributed systems and maintenance. Or perhaps you’ve looked at your infrastructure and realized that you need to move away from its current configuration. If that’s the case, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) may be a good solution because it removes a lot of management overhead, acting like a hypervisor that can handle networking and storage.

The number of applications and services increases every day as more application architectures move towards microservices or serverless structures. You can process this increasing amount of time series data with real-time aggregation or with a calculation whose output is a measurement or a metric. These metrics need to be monitored so that you can solve issues and make relevant changes in your system quickly. A change in a system can be captured and observed in many ways.

Bug bounty programs set up by software companies that incentivize white-hat hackers, developers, and engineers alike to identify and report bugs in a specified software.
