NVIDIA is well known for its computing advancements across a broad range of industries and has become the clear leader in the artificial intelligence (AI) space. Due to their high-performance capabilities, NVIDIA’s discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) now account for approximately 80 percent of the market share for production-level AI, gaming, graphics rendering, and other complex data processing tasks.

With thousands of logs generated every minute from your infrastructure, applications, services, and devices, retaining this copious amount of data for active search and analysis can be cost-prohibitive. Because log volumes continue to grow rapidly as operations scale, it’s common for organizations to implement log management strategies and store only a limited number to minimize costs.

SysOps teams know how crucial observability is to maintaining around-the-clock infrastructure health. And while HAProxy already provides reliable logging and stats (for diagnostics and monitoring), what if you could supplement those with a real-time alerting system? That idea inspired our initial inclusion of mailers in HAProxy. Since then, users have been asking for deeper mailer customizability—and we’re thrilled to deliver that with Lua-based email alerts in HAProxy 2.8.

Cloud computing is no longer the future; it’s our reality. This means that the decision to move ITSM to the cloud isn't just an option. It's a strategic necessity. For business and IT leaders in the early stages of this transformation, understanding the benefits of cloud-based ITSM is pivotal. Here are five advantages that this shift can bring to your organization.

For a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to grow, it must win new customers. However, each new customer brings more devices and users that require management, incident ticket resolution, and provisioning. If the above is actioned manually, an MSP requires dedicated staff to handle the new clients’ users, devices, resolve tickets and requests. Bearing in mind, each staff member can only support a certain number of users and devices.

No one has any doubt that microservices architecture has already proven to be efficient. However, implementing security, particularly in an immutable infrastructure context, has been quite the challenge.
