Why do businesses need network mapping software?

Networks are rapidly becoming larger and more complex, with numerous different technologies playing into their expansion.

Personas Are Not Just For Marketing

“The business does not exist for IT. IT exists for the business”, said David Paul, Director of IT at TRC, a Nexthink customer, during the recently wrapped up Experience Everywhere virtual conference.

Security is not a technology, it is a way of thinking and acting, we could even say that it is an attitude. For years we have attended international fairs, events where computer security is offered as specific products.

Containers vs Virtual Machines (VMs)

As microservices gain in popularity, containers have become a hot topic for developers. But how do they differ from virtual machines? Will containers replace virtual machines? And when should you choose containers over virtual machines? When it comes to defining virtual machines, the name says it all – machines (servers or desktops) that have been virtualized.
