IT Service Management (ITSM) strategies and platforms inherently target IT: it’s a part of the acronym! And, the ITSM platform is the bridge between IT and the organization’s employees. Sure, IT is a key player when it comes to connecting employees to services, but they aren’t the only internal service provider who could benefit from streamlining their activities.

When you’re troubleshooting, issues seem to fall into two categories: issues based on an alert or error message where you have a good idea where to start and ones where you have no idea what’s going on. The first issues are usually straightforward. You use the information provided in the alert or error message to search the logs and pull up the relevant event messages.

All developers have seen them, even in well-structured Golang programs: comments suggesting you keep away from lines of code since they seem to be working in a magic way. These warnings make us timid, fearing we might break something. But applications need to change, to improve and innovate. That’s why unit tests are a vital part of software development. They help developers know whether the small parts of their software perform their intended function correctly.

Our sales team receives handfuls of patching questions so often, we almost brought in the bots to answer. But because the questions below require more explanation, I grabbed a few minutes with Ivanti’s patch management resident expert, Chris Goettl, for answers to questions concerning patching in the cloud, standalone patching, validating patches, and patching remote endpoints.

Servers are an essential part of the IT of many companies. A server down could cause significant damage: from service stopping and productivity decreasing to losing direct sales and image problems that cause loss of customers.

It is also common for this one, or any of the devices or applications involved in its operation, to suffer deficiencies – sometimes difficult to notice – that cause low performance.

Kubernetes refers to an open-source platform managing containerized service. This portable system simplifies automation and configuration. You can link an app in a Kubernetes cluster and connect it to IBM Cloud Kubernetes service through the VPN. In this article, we will focus on why your kubernetes pod stays in pending state.

Suffering from severe headaches during meetings, feeling fatigued and lethargic due to lengthy powerpoints and monologues (you know, the ones that go on and on)? If that sounds oh so familiar to you, we have good news: it’s not you. And (usually) neither are your colleagues nor their presentations to blame. More often than not, the culprit for a “meeting hangover” is “bad”, stale air.

Heroku meets the needs of individual developers who want to deploy their applications seamlessly. The only requirement is to use a git repository and link your git repository to your Heroku account. However, for startups, Heroku has limitations. Those arguments make most of the startups moving away from Heroku to a more flexible place like AWS - which has 31% market share in Q2 2020.
