As organizations embark on the journey towards ITSM and DevOps adoption, they need to be aware of how this IT transformation will impact their IT operations and business delivery. 'IT monitoring' plays a crucial role in providing the visibility enterprises need to track all the technology and operational changes, measure performance continuously, baseline the infrastructure, forecast capacity needs, and accelerate IT transformation by delivering real transparency to IT and business stakeholders.

In this technical paper, we'll compare the performance and features of InfluxDB 1.4.2 vs. Elasticsearch 5.6.3 for common time series workloads, specifically looking at the rates of data ingestion, on-disk data compression, and query performance. This data should prove valuable to developers and architects evaluating the suitability of these technologies for their use case.

Slash audit costs, improve efficiency, and minimize risk

The world is embracing high speed networks slow and steady.

Organizations today are increasingly the targets of sophisticated threats developed by a shadowy and well-financed cybercrime industry that has demonstrated it can often outsmart even the most robust security defenses. Worse yet, cybercriminals are aided by the fact that security teams often lack the human and financial resources necessary to keep pace with evolving threats, so they often cannot defend against every attack coming their way.

This error monitoring whitepaper from Raygun explores how automating software quality liberates teams, so development is proactive rather than reactive.

IT teams know that strong escalation policies are like the net under an acrobat. They ensure that if an alert is not heard or cannot be handled by the recipient, the alert won't fall out of view and suffer a quick demise.

Digital transformation has led to complex environments that continuously generate new data. As a result, organizations are left unsure about how to best use their data to foster growth and edge out the competition. It's not enough to just have mountains of data, it needs to be analyzed and made sense of in a way that best suits the business.
