5 Steps To A Thriving Business

Creating a thriving business is one of those things that all sound so simple when you say it out loud, but in practice, it can be a wild jumble of clarity, doubt, small wins, and that little 'what am I even doing?' moment. And I've found that growth doesn't always feel like growing as it happens. Sometimes it registers as a softer kind of chaos that unfolds gradually.

Incident IQ: Outage announcement bar

Our Incident IQ integration just got better. Meet the Outage Announcement Bar, a simple way to surface live outage details inside Incident IQ.

New roadmap & feature request hub

We’re excited to announce that StatusGator has officially moved to a new platform for collecting feature requests, organizing our roadmap, and keeping you updated on what we’re building.

Here's What a Network Needs After a Cloud Migration

By now, most organizations have realized the benefits of moving some, most, or all of their business applications to the cloud. The cloud typically offers better security and performance, at a lower price, than housing resources on-premises. You may have helped them in that migration or you may have been hired after it was complete. Either way, a client with cloud hosting has different network requirements than one whose infrastructure is primarily on-premises.

Configuring an Internet Connection for a Cloud-Hosted Environment

Part 2 in our series on Here’s What a Network Needs After a Cloud Migration. Part 1 looked at how to redesign the LAN. When a company’s application infrastructure moves to the cloud, a reliable Internet connection becomes mandatory.
