What is edge computing? Do you really want to know? The story of edge computing reminds us how things used to be and how they will be in the future, similar but different. Would you like to know more? This is not a story of passions or revenge, but of common sense. In the IT world, it is all about looking for the practical side of life. But before we start, we should get to know where we are now, don’t you think?
Pandora FMS 737 release includes a brand new feature: automated software agent deployment from the console. In addition, the Discovery feature is still being developed, incorporating a new Cloud plugin for Azure. A new SLA reporting feature has also been added with Failover modules and other small enhancements.
The Network Emulation is a relevant technology when making tests related to the behaviour of our platform. Let’s look at these situations: All these situations are part of the day-to-day work of the IT managers and all are responded to by developing the necessary tests. However, when we propose to do these tests, two options arise: simulation and emulation of networks. These are two concepts that are often used interchangeably but are actually very different.
Our databases are the ones that keep the Internet alive. There has even been talk for some years about the development of operating systems with which users do not have direct contact with the files, but their personal files are stored in a local DB. In fact, we already see how there are online services that do this for us, such as Google Drive or Nextcloud, the latter written under free license Affero.
TCP congestion control is a fundamental part of this protocol and over the years has undergone a process of constant improvement through the generation of different versions, such as TCP Tahoe, Reno, Vegas, and so on. The case of the TCP CUBIC version, which has been the default congestion control applied by Linux/Unix systems.
How many server types are out there? The answer to this question, like so many others, is: “It depends”. Since there can be as many types of server as a company needs, and companies have more IT needs every day, so… If we go to the definition of server we find that this is a computer that provides service to other computers that are part of a network.
In Pandora FMS release 736 we have been working on visual improvements of the interface, optimizing the view of events and services.
In the 20th century we were programmers. In the 21st century, developers. With the massification of telecommunications worldwide, operators began to help us in our work. That’s where the term DevOps (“developers” and “operations”) arose, which implies the concept of collaboration of both teams. But since change is the only constant, other practical considerations have forced us to see the entire forest instead of just a few trees.
“To have your head in the clouds” has several meanings since Cloud computing arrived and is part of our vocabulary thanks to its efficiency. Therefore, today we will review not only what cloud computing is, but also the types of cloud computing.We also love to have our heads “in the clouds”.
Today we bring you a comparison: OpenNMS vs Zabbix vs Pandora FMS. Three titans of open-source software, without a doubt. We will see its main features and we will talk about the business model of each company -free does not necessarily mean for free- and we will summarize with graphic information. Three monitoring solutions that are rather projects: these are software made by companies that share their code with everyone and that can be used -and modified- by anyone.
