Wipe It Clean, Sell It Smart: The Right Way to Retire Your Servers

Wipe It Clean, Sell It Smart: The Right Way to Retire Your Servers

Sep 18, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Selling servers is about more than moving hardware, it's about controlling risk. Inside every decommissioned unit sits sensitive data most businesses forget to address. Deleting files or formatting disks doesn't erase information. That oversight can cost millions, damage trust, or lead to serious legal consequences. Before a sale, every server must go through proper data sanitization. This process isn't just technical, it's strategic. It protects your clients, your team, and your brand. This guide walks you through the process, from data erasure methods to resale pricing. The goal.

Why AIX Automation Starts with Better Monitoring: How Galileo Powers Smarter Action

Sep 17, 2025 By Kristy Slimmer In Galileo
If your automation can’t trust the data it’s acting on, it’s not automation. It’s a guess. That’s why AIX automation monitoring is the foundation for success. Many teams encounter this gap when trying to automate AIX operations. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) and Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) can absolutely streamline routine tasks, like expanding filesystems or tuning adapters. But every playbook still depends on one thing: accurate, real-time monitoring.

Making the invisible visible: Are your cloud firewalls and DDoS protection really working?

Sep 17, 2025 By Sheikh Mursaleen In Catchpoint
Every business builds strong defences to keep attackers out. Firewalls and DDoS protection serve that purpose, standing guard over company apps and websites, like knights at the castle gate keeping out trolls (not just the ones on X). But here’s the problem: those defences only work if users actually walk through the front gate. Sometimes, people find hidden paths or side doors around your walls, so the guards never see them enter.

What is Asynchronous Job Monitoring?

Sep 17, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Modern applications don’t process everything inside the request/response path. To keep APIs responsive, time-consuming work like image resizing, payment processing, or data syncs is moved into background queues. Workers then pick up these asynchronous jobs and run them outside the main thread. Asynchronous job monitoring is the practice of tracking these background tasks: Without this visibility, background workers become a blind spot.

Faster, more memory-efficient performance in Grafana Mimir: a closer look at Mimir Query Engine

Sep 17, 2025 By Jon Kartago Lamida In Grafana
Until recently, Grafana Mimir — our open source, horizontally scalable, multi-tenant time series database (TSDB) — has exclusively used Prometheus’ PromQL engine to evaluate queries. While the PromQL engine works great, it sometimes needs a lot of memory to run, specifically in the Mimir querier component. To address this memory consumption issue, we recently introduced Mimir Query Engine (MQE).
