IPv6 was developed in the late 1990s as a successor to IPv4 in response to widespread concerns about the growth of the Internet and its potential impact on the existing IPv4 address protocol, in particular potential address exhaustion. It was assumed that after some time as a dual-stack solution, we would phase out IPv4 entirely. Almost twenty-five years later, however, we are approaching full-scale depletion of IPv4 addresses, in part because the adoption of IPv6 is still lagging.

Cloud has become the de-facto standard for new application development. Kubernetes solves many problems of modern-day cloud infrastructure. It has made microservices-based distributed software systems possible, enabling organizations to provide on-demand scaling. But at the same time, Kubernetes has also increased operational complexity. In simple terms, Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool. Container environments are dynamic and ephemeral.

In an article a few months ago, my colleague covered the functionality within eG Enterprise that ensures secure and traceable audit trails for both users and admins of eG Enterprise allowing automated auditing and reporting for regulatory compliance and security, see Auditing Capabilities in IT Monitoring Tools | eG Innovations. Today, I will follow from this article and cover how eG Enterprise also controls and audits the execution of Remote Control Actions and scripts.

The digital workplace has evolved dramatically over the past decade, both in terms of the increased reliance on technology for daily operations and the complexity of that technology. In order to manage an improve the digital workplace, service desk teams need more than just a comprehensive view of their IT environments — they need to be able to analyze that data in real-time to make faster, more continuously effective decisions. Enter: digital workplace observability.

What do you get when you combine the wit, wisdom, and weird humor of four talented tech minds? As it turns out, a surprisingly lively Q&A! As Grafana Pyroscope emerges from the union of Grafana Phlare and Pyroscope, it’s time to really get to know the people behind these continuous profiling projects. That’s why we brought together the Pyroscope founders, Dmitry Filimonov and Ryan Perry, and Phlare technical leads, Cyril Tovena and Christian Simon, for this light-hearted conversation.

If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that the more things change, the more things stay the same. The whiplash and pivot from the go-go economy post-pandemic to a belt-tightening macroeconomic environment induced by higher inflation and interest rates has been seen before, but rarely this quickly. Technology leaders have always had to do more with less, but this slowdown may be unpredictable, longer, and more pronounced than expected.

Modern organizations across industries are constantly under pressure to innovate and scale. Just over a decade ago, an organization could buy its time, be conservative in investing in new technologies, and still maintain a competitive edge. Fast-forward to today and the business and technology landscape is much more dynamic with changes in business practices and new technology popping up constantly. Organizations are increasingly at risk of getting left behind if they don’t scale fast.

Have you ever found yourself staring at your screen, waiting for a webpage to load, or a file to download, only to be left frustrated by sluggish Internet speeds? It's like being stuck in a traffic jam during rush hour, with no end in sight. But instead of honking your horn and yelling at other drivers, you might be wondering what's causing the holdup. Well, fear not, fellow internet user, because the culprit might just be network congestion.

TeamCity is a CI/CD server that provides out-of-the-box support for unit testing, code quality tracking, and build automation. Additionally, TeamCity integrates with your other tools—such as version control, issue tracking, package repositories, and more—to simplify and expedite your CI/CD workflows.

Network device monitoring is a crucial aspect of IT management and it helps organizations to ensure that their network infrastructure is running smoothly. Many people that use RMM solutions will often use an additional application to monitor their network devices. However, one of the huge benefits of using N-able N-central as your RMM solution is the way it allows you to monitor network devices through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
