If you manage workloads across multiple clouds, you know how easy it is for critical alerts or performance issues to get lost in the noise. Switching between consoles, correlating logs, and tracking metrics across platforms can slow down troubleshooting, delaying incident resolution and increasing risk of missing critical alerts.

Infrastructure teams manage not only servers and cloud resources, but also complex network environments. Routers, switches, and firewalls…often from multiple vendors with many models and versions. The devices require a consistent configuration and strict compliance enforcement to meet enterprise requirements.

The latest release of Redgate Monitor visualizes Oracle wait classes and events across single-instance, multitenant (CDB/PDB), and Data Guard environments. It gives DBAs a clear, high-level view of where database time is spent and makes diagnosing and resolving performance issues in Oracle much simpler.

What features an AI help desk includes now or will include in the nearest future. And how it helps us run IT support.

Today, we’re announcing a major milestone for developers building the next generation of intelligent, real-time systems: InfluxDB 3 is available on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB, now the default time series database offered directly in the AWS Management Console. This brings InfluxDB 3, our next-generation time series database, directly into the AWS ecosystem for the first time.

Until recently, corporate sentiment around AI agents was cautiously optimistic. Now, we’re seeing confident action. Our latest international survey shows that 75% of companies have deployed more than one agent—up from 51% just six months ago.

If you’ve ever been the “network person” in the room, you know how it goes: the moment something slows down or disconnects, everyone looks at you. The pressure’s on, and you need answers fast. Is it the Wi-Fi? The ISP? A misconfigured switch? Or maybe that new cloud app is hogging bandwidth? That’s where network diagnostic tools come in.

It’s 3:30 p.m. A partner’s laptop refuses to authenticate to the VDI. The urgent filing is in two hours. The ticket title reads like a headstone you’ve seen a hundred times: “Can’t connect, tried rebooting, please help.” Another “undead” incident claws its way out of the queue. By home time, the backlog becomes a graveyard of recurring tickets, and your team, although brilliant and capable, is exhausted and applying the same fixes again and again.

As organizations increasingly rely on cloud computing to drive their businesses forward, a critical question arises: what happens when the cloud is no longer a trusted partner? This was a key theme explored at Civo Navigate London 2025, where Civo's leadership team shared their insights on the future of cloud computing and the growing importance of sovereign cloud solutions.

So you’ve run into cloud cost challenges — incomplete visibility, overspending, thinning margins — and you’re wondering whether you have what it takes to build a cloud cost optimization platform in-house. It’s a responsible question (one that the FinOps Foundation even advises you to ask). Be warned: Building your own cloud cost optimization platform seems cheaper than adding another SaaS subscription. It’s not.
