The brutal reality is that ineffective monitoring invites trouble. Monitoring is your infrastructure’s eyes and ears. Ineffective monitoring is like driving with a wrong glasses prescription: you can’t see clearly, so it’s hard avoid current and future hazards.

The world and technology keep evolving. Over time, applications with functions ranging from buying and selling online to holding meetings to keeping up with friends and family have progressed. Now, we are able to automate actions that used to be manual or at least perform them in the most efficient way possible. This automation is made possible through the use of our applications. Now imagine one of these applications stops working for just 10 minutes.

Around 30 years ago, a server was usually a standalone PC or mainframe that provided only one service. Think of a dedicated mainframe for emails, for instance. Things evolved from this to single standalone hardware that provides multiple services (email, http, ftp combined, for example) through virtual machines that can host multiple operating systems running dozens of services, and up to today, where servers are software defined and can run on anything from your washing machine to a drone.

There’s no doubt that the software development and engineering industry has become one of the fastest evolving industries in the world. This greatly affects the way things are done within the industry. The rapid change within the software industry can be said to be in an exponential form. These changes are evolving so quickly that you can measure and track them within daily timelines as compared to the growth of other industries.

IT infrastructure is the backbone of any IT organization. An IT infrastructure comprises multiple components such as hardware assets, networks, applications, etc. And for an IT organization to function smoothly, it is important for all these components to function properly—autonomously as well as with each other. But how do we know if our IT infrastructure and its components are functioning properly? Through IT infrastructure monitoring.

Network traffic analysis serves many purposes. It’s used for general network monitoring, security reasons, as well as the debugging of network issues. It can be helpful not only to network administrators but also to application developers. In this post, you’ll learn what network traffic analysis tools actually are and what are the top five you should know about.

True work revolves around the access and modification of files, and what better way to store and distribute work files than through a file server? The central-access model for storing and managing files brings many benefits to an organization. Most importantly, everyone can access a single, accurate version of any file on the server. Easy as that sounds, this feat is only possible with proper file server management.

An exponential increase in the generation of data led to the rise of the Big Data era. Among other factors, the cost of scaling up businesses to accommodate so much data prompted many businesses to switch to virtual cloud platforms. The cloud can store, organize, and manage all the data and applications for a company in a virtual environment. Monitoring this environment is crucial, because it’s susceptible to cyberthreats, like data breaches.

IT operations data grows by the year. Some estimates suggest that the average IT operations team watches their operational data volume double or triple every year. The result of this flood is that IT teams are grasping for any method they can find to make sense of all this data. Many teams are landing on AIOps as their solution to parse and categorize all of these events. AIOps isn’t a perfect fit for every organization, but it is a great fit for many.
