Synthetic Monitoring for Windows, VDI & 2FA | 2 Steps

We relate synthetic monitoring to a heart rate monitor for application performance. It fits hand in glove with real user monitoring and provides insights into how real customers and employees are experiencing the application.

Also, the performance data that you typically receive is from a panel rather than every single user.

A Guide to MQTT Messaging Brokers and Client Software

MQTT is a machine-to-machine communication protocol. Devices publish messages to a broker under specific topics, and other devices subscribe to those topics to receive information. It’s popular because it doesn’t take up a lot of bandwidth, so IoT devices with limited network connectivity can use it. MQTT works because of brokers. Each device sending and receiving data can communicate with potentially millions of other devices while only connecting to one broker.
