What Gartner Gets Right About Cloud Cost Optimization (and Where They Miss)

Earlier this year, Gartner published “How to Manage and Optimize Costs of Public Cloud IaaS and PaaS,” by analysts Marco Meinardi and Traverse Clayton. As a company that is focused on enabling engineering teams with cloud cost intelligence, we were of course curious what they had to say. Now, if you are familiar with Gartner, you know they have a reputation for serving enterprise clients, so they can sometimes be — well, enterprisey.

We achieved ISO/IEC 27001

We live in an uncertain world and monitoring should try to make sure that whatever happens we will always be informed. Therefore, security is the basis of everything in monitoring and for us it has always been one of the pillars of our strategy as a product. Security is not a technology, it is a way of thinking and acting, we could even say that it is an attitude. For years we have attended international fairs, events where computer security is offered as specific products.

Monitoring and security: an open marriage

Confidentiality, integrity and availability are the three basic laws of security. Availability is a kind of wayward son who becomes prodigal when he likes to, even if it is just to write eulogies with it when the systems go down, although the truth is that it is the most neglected out of the three of them and perhaps that is why monitoring has become more approached for what it may come from outside than what it is inside.

IT Leaders in 2021: Great Expectations

During times of great uncertainty, leaders are always tested in ways they never imagined. Can they effectively surmount the external threats to the organization while keeping people committed and engaged with priorities? Back in March 2020, leaders were reacting — as swiftly as they could. Many were positive that the pandemic would disappear as quickly as it appeared and business and personal life would go back to normal.

Web performance: How to load test

Website owners commonly ask why they need a website performance load tester. Throughout web history, some extremely popular sites have had their fair share of serious downtimes. Either they get massive traffic volumes, or their website simply crashes. Thus, web performance load tester services check the application’s ability to perform under anticipated user loads.

Personas Are Not Just For Marketing

“The business does not exist for IT. IT exists for the business”, said David Paul, Director of IT at TRC, a Nexthink customer, during the recently wrapped up Experience Everywhere virtual conference. David seems to be stating the obvious. Indeed, this is something CIOs and IT leaders have always understood. But the lower into the IT rank and file you go, this sense of existential purpose often becomes forgotten in the daily hustle and bustle.
