A comprehensive understanding of the computers, servers, routers, switches, and other devices that form the foundation of your IT environment is critical to mitigate the risk of downtime and security vulnerabilities. Let’s explore some key factors to remember when choosing the right solution to monitor your network devices.

As more businesses embrace digital transformation, cloud computing is becoming more relevant each day. Cloud technology provides the flexibility, scalability, and agility modern organizations need to stay competitive, transforming everything from daily operations to customer experiences. However, as companies expand their use of the cloud, managing these complex environments is proving to be a real challenge. What is cloud monitoring?

The exponential growth of new technologies, such as generative AI, in conjunction with the rapid adoption of cloud technologies and the boom of IoT devices, has created an abundance of data that needs to travel across diverse ecosystems. This proliferation of technology brings many benefits to organisations but simultaneously creates more vulnerabilities and security challenges to manage.

Network operations have become increasingly complex due to the distributed nature of modern applications which use data from private data centers, public clouds and the internet to provide end user services. With the adoption of these multi-cloud, multi-tier application architectures, network engineers must integrate new services (e.g AWS Direct Connect and Kubernetes clusters) from cloud providers into their existing services.

You can’t monitor, protect, or fix what you don’t know. That simple concept helps explain why IT inventory management is the cornerstone of effective IT and security ops. However, given the highly distributed and dynamic nature of modern networks, maintaining an up-to-date inventory can be challenging. Modern IT assets are everywhere, from corporate data centers to third-party clouds to coffee shops where remote workers stop for a snack.
