At 2:37am on a cold Oregon night, a fire alarm blared at a rural station. Seconds later, the call came in: a structure fire on the outskirts of Rogue Valley. But what if that alarm never reached the station? This isn't a hypothetical. For the IT team at Emergency Communications of Southern Oregon (ECSO 911), it’s the kind of emergency scenario they prepare for every day.

Data centers have become the beating heart of digital business. Everything from financial transactions to cloud-based collaboration tools depends on the seamless movement of information between these high-powered facilities. As demand for bandwidth grows and companies stretch their networks across cities, states, and continents, the ability to connect data centers securely and efficiently has taken on new urgency. But linking data centers isn’t as simple as laying fiber between buildings.

If you’re running AI, ML, or data-intensive workloads on GPUs, monitoring their performance is critical. Overheating, under-utilization, or memory bottlenecks can cost you thousands in cloud bills and potential downtime. This guide walks you through collecting real-time GPU telemetry using nvidia-smi, sending it to Cribl Edge, routing it through Cribl Stream, and using Cribl Search to analyze the data—step by step.

Network visualization is the process of visually representing networks of connected entities, like devices, data flows, or relationships, using nodes and links. This technique helps in understanding complex data, identifying patterns, and improving network management by providing a clear visual overview of the network’s structure and behavior.

Fastify stands out among Node.js web frameworks for its obsessive focus on performance and boasts impressive benchmarks, with throughput often 2-3x higher than Express and other popular alternatives. But here's the paradox: without proper visibility, even applications with a good foundation will degrade over time as you add features and complexity.

Distributed tracing data is a unique and powerful observability signal, allowing you to understand how your services interact and the relationships between them. Sometimes it can be difficult, however, to turn raw tracing data into actionable insights. This is exactly why we introduced Grafana Traces Drilldown, an application that lets you quickly investigate and visualize your tracing data through a simplified, queryless experience.

When you’re a global leader in AI-assisted hiring, speed matters. Not just in matching candidates to jobs, but in making the engineering and financial decisions that keep your platform running efficiently. For HireVue, fragmented infrastructure, manual processes, and sprawling spreadsheets turned cloud cost management into a time-consuming spelunking expedition.
