Somewhere in the IT multiverse, a perfect balance has been achieved between demand for IT services and installed system capacity. Unfortunately, that isn’t our world.

Data is never just data. There are structured and unstructured data, qualitative and quantitative data. Among these varied types, continuous data stands out as a key player, especially in the quantitative realm. Continuous data, with its infinite possibilities and precision, captures the fluidity of the real world — from the microseconds of a website’s load time to the fluctuating bandwidth usage on a network.

Network protocols are necessary for data transmission and networking over different devices. One of the most common protocols is the TCP/IP framework, which builds connections through our internet. In fact, if you check email, watch Netflix, or stream music from Spotify, you’re relying on TCP/IP in the background.

Identifying bad actors within your organization often feels like a complicated game of hide and seek. A common comparison is that it's akin to finding a needle in a haystack. So, if the bad actor represents the 'needle' and your organization the 'haystack,' how would you uncover these bad actors? Perhaps the quickest way to find the needle is by burning the haystack. Alternatively, dumping the hay into a pool of water and waiting for the needle to sink to the bottom could also work.

Splunk had just celebrated its 20th anniversary. The business was growing. Customers were loyal. So why would we consider refreshing our brand?

For us, part of our growth was reaching new audiences and launching new products. Which meant as brand stewards, we needed to update our brand to better connect with these new opportunities.

Gaining insights from your data requires more than collecting and analyzing metrics and logs. With the acceleration of customer and business demands, site reliability engineers and IT Ops analysts now require operational visibility into their entire architecture, something that traditional APM tools, dev logging tools, and SRE tools aren't equipped to provide. Observability enables you to inspect and understand your IT stack; but what is it, and how does it differ from IT monitoring?

What you need is something different-something that makes IT events less eventful and more insightful-and now, you can finally do it!
