How Are You Making Storage Placement Decisions-and Does It Matter?

According to Virtana’s recent State of Hybrid Cloud Storage survey, most organizations have a little over half of their storage in the cloud, keeping the rest on premises. But how are they deciding what storage goes where? Is there such a thing as a wrong—or even just sub-optimal—storage placement decision? We dug into the data to answer these questions.

Enforce Quotas on Data Ingestion with Redis

Recently, a customer brought me a challenging use case: They were looking to enforce quotas on their internal customers, i.e. other teams in the organization. The analytics team provides services such as searching and reporting capabilities to those other teams, which subscribe to the services through a chargeback model. Each team that subscribes is supposed to limit its ingestion of data to a quota: a maximum permitted ingest per 24-hour period.

Azure Storage Security: Keep Your Data Safe

In today’s digital world, data security is a top priority for businesses and individuals alike. With the increasing popularity of cloud computing, many organizations are relying on cloud storage services to store their sensitive information. Microsoft Azure Storage is one of the most popular cloud storage services, offering a range of storage solutions to meet the needs of different users.

Azure end-to-end transaction details with enhanced visibility

In this blog, we look at the importance of viewing Azure end-to-end transactions from the perspective of a business user, the overall benefit of Business Application Monitoring, and how Serverless360 BAM can help your organization by providing business insights in your Azure integration transactions.

SAST vs. DAST

Neglecting security is a rookie mistake. However, DevOps teams struggle to make it a priority in the quest to be continuously faster. Protecting your app from the ground up is challenging, so you need the right tools to improve your debugging process in development and production. To enhance security testing, developers can use SAST tools, which analyze program source code to identify security vulnerabilities, and DAST tools, which come up in later development phases in a running application.

How To Choose The Email Protocol: IMAP vs. POP3 vs. SMTP

Email marketing is effective when done right. Since emails go through a complex journey after we hit ‘Send,’ we need to know what happens as they travel. Behind the scenes, an email goes through a complex journey that consists of several steps. And each step is defined by the email protocol being used. Depending on the email protocol, our emails will go through more or fewer stages before they reach the recipient's inbox. Keep reading to see email protocols explained.

How Parallel Loop Empowers Torq Users to Rapidly Automate Bulk Data Processing Up to 10x

Torq is proud to introduce Parallel Loop, a new capability that enables users to process bulk data from myriad security tools with unprecedented ease. It also provides the power of orchestration like no other automation tool in the security automation industry with true parallelism. That means multiple tasks can be run simultaneously, and optionally, on multiple elastically-scaled compute resources, shortening the time workflow automations take to complete by 10x or more.

Optimize Kubernetes Performance Part 1: Cluster Configurations

Kubernetes is a powerful platform that comes with many features to help engineers run their applications more efficiently. However, as you gain more experience and deploy more workloads, you’ll inevitably start looking for ways to optimize Kubernetes performance. There are many ways to approach optimization. On one hand, you could work exclusively with the tools and configurations provided by Kubernetes itself; on the other, you could reap the benefits of third-party tools.

Cloud Visibility - First step to your Cloud cost journey

Visibility is often cited as a critical or the first step for any cloud cost journey. But what exactly does everyone mean by visibility, and why is it so important? As organizations move to the cloud, they turn to cloud providers like Amazon Web services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, VMware, and Google Cloud platforms to keep track of the sheer volumes of resources involved in their cloud infrastructure. Here’s the rub – What you see is what you control!

Secure open source MLOps for AI/ML applications in financial services

The adoption of AI/ML in financial services is increasing as companies seek to drive more robust, data-driven decision processes as part of their digital transformation journey. For global banking, McKinsey estimates that AI technologies could potentially deliver up to $1 trillion of additional value each year. But productionising machine learning at scale is challenging.
