Apr 21, 2026 By NiCE IT Mgmt In NiCE IT Mgmt
System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) remains one of the most capable on-premises monitoring platforms for Microsoft environments. However, as IT operations evolve toward real-time observability and self-service insights, traditional SCOM reporting and consoles can feel restrictive. This whitepaper explores practical ways to extend and modernize your SCOM visualizations using today's leading dashboarding technologies - including SquaredUp, Grafana, Power BI, and Azure Workbooks.

Introducing Pyroscope 2.0: faster, more cost-effective continuous profiling at scale

Apr 21, 2026 By Christian Simon In Grafana
Continuous profiling is becoming a standard part of the observability stack, and for good reason. It's the only signal that tells you why your code is slow or expensive, not just that it is. Metrics tell you CPU usage is high. Logs tell you a request was slow. Traces tell you which service is the bottleneck. But only a profile tells you which function, on which line, is burning the cycles. As systems grow more complex, that level of visibility becomes essential.

What is Application Performance Monitoring (APM)?

Apr 21, 2026 By Jack Rothrock In Scout
A modern web application is not a single thing. A single user request may touch a web server, a database, a cache layer, and several third-party APIs before a response comes back. And as AI tools generate more and more application traffic (API calls, background jobs, automated workflows), the volume and unpredictability of that traffic is growing. When something goes wrong, it could be any of it. When something is slow, it could be all of it at once.

KubeVirt Networking: How to Preserve VM IP Addresses During Migration

Apr 21, 2026 By Dillon Barry In Tigera
Organisations are re-evaluating their VM infrastructure. The economics have shifted, the tooling has matured, and the case for running two separate platforms, one for containers, one for VMs, is getting harder to justify. Platform teams that spent years managing hypervisor infrastructure are being asked to consolidate, and most are landing on the same answer: Kubernetes. KubeVirt makes running VMs on Kubernetes possible.
