In our recent Tech Talk, Agentless Monitoring and Custom Monitors, OpsRamp’s Curt Thorin explained how agentless and custom monitoring are critical for distributed IT operations teams. The Tech Talk also provides an interactive demo of how agentless and custom monitoring capabilities can not only support remote work strategies but also prioritize digital transformation initiatives.
The recent shift to remote work has been anything but subtle for millions of people and their companies. And like many in IT Ops, our customers have been preoccupied with maintaining an error-free VPN experience. But that’s often easier said than done. Luckily for them, VPN issues that would normally take weeks to resolve are being turned around in minutes with Nexthink’s patented technology.
So, we’ve passed the first quarter of 2020. What have we learned? You don’t need us to tell you that, but robots are still cool As usual, this State of Robotics post discusses work the Ubuntu robotics team has done this past April, and some interesting projects we’ve seen in the community. Unfortunately, we had a total of zero submissions to be included this month, hopefully not a sign of the times.
Business owners like to focus on providing the best product or service for the clients. Keeping track of expense accounts, chasing invoices, and making sure the paperwork is all there come tax time is the last thing on their mind. Larger companies can usually afford to have a specialist on staff that can keep track of these financial processes, but that will be a luxury for most.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, ServiceNow and our partners have been busy meeting the needs of customers across the world. In recent weeks, several of our global partners have rolled out new applications, web portals and other services to help customers manage emergency response efforts. In these difficult times, their ingenuity, agility and speed have been nothing short of inspiring.
As we connect with customers we increasingly hear the need for teams to be more predictive with their data. A big challenge is uncertainty around how to get started, especially when much of their data is unstructured. At Splunk, our goal is to make data — and machine learning — accessible for a broad range of users. The good news is, with machine learning doing even more work on your behalf, you don’t need to be a data scientist to use these advanced capabilities.
In a world full of threats targeting data as well as stringent compliance mandates, it’s never been more important to create a strong unified cloud security strategy. But as cloud environments become more complex and diverse, it’s also never been more difficult. Even if you’re partnering with a notably secure provider, it’s still important to understand your security responsibility and to be proactive about protecting your data in the cloud.
Is it week 6 or 8 of telework now? I can't keep up, and it's probably not worth counting anymore. By now, all agencies have a majority of their employees working remotely and adjusting to the new normal; and we, at Splunk, are as well. In a way — like our CIO, Steve McMahon, puts it — we did have an early start.
Since 2015, StatusGator has offered a unique solution for monitoring the status of hundreds of cloud services. By aggregating each service’s status page into a unified API, StatusGator provides the status of all your dependencies in a single place. Our status page webhooks solution was previously quite basic and limited in its capabilities. But we recently launched StatusGator webhooks v2 and invite you to try it now.
