Today, data is invaluable. Many businesses store large amounts of it for everyday operations. Some information is stored in a hierarchical form, but companies must often hold significant amounts of data without any organization. The solution? Microsoft Azure’s Blob Storage. In this article, we’ll consider the key elements of Blob Storage, how it works, and why it’s important.

Google Cloud Provider (GCP) Storage uses buckets to store data. In GCP Storage, you can manage files and folders using the same tools and APIs you use to manage files in a standard container. Using GCP buckets, you can store any type of file, photo, video, or even projects. Essentially, GCP buckets are logical containers for your data. There is no limit to the number of buckets you can create; each bucket can hold any amount of data.

In recent years, Software-Defined WAN Technology (SD-WAN) has changed the way networking professionals secure, manage, and optimize connectivity. As organizations continue to implement cloud applications, conventional backhaul traffic processes are now inefficient and can cause security concerns. SD-WAN is a virtual architecture that enables organizations to use different combinations of transport services that can connect users to applications.

Relational database or non-relational database: which should you use for your projects? It’s a common question. When choosing the database type that’s right for your requirements, it’s important to understand the differences between the two. Both database types are practical in different situations and use cases and have commonalities.

Logging as a Service, or LaaS, is a proven approach to managing and monitoring high-volume log data in modern dynamic environments. LaaS allows companies to manage log data regardless of whether it comes from applications, servers, or devices. With LaaS, companies can more easily aggregate and collate data, scale and manage storage requirements, set up notifications and alerts, and analyze data and trends. It also allows teams to customize dashboards, reports, and visualizations.

Here at LogicMonitor, we like to experiment and try new things. In fact, one of our core tenets is “better every day”. This means that we’re always hungry to learn new things, experiment, innovate, and take chances. One thing we’ve been experimenting with lately (and loving!) is the Quarkus framework. We love how lightweight it is and that it’s built from the ground up with Kubernetes in mind.

A growing number of enterprises are shifting toward a multi-cloud environment with the rise of remote and hybrid work. In fact, 76% of organizations have already adapted to a multi-cloud infrastructure. These dynamic networks offer companies many reported advantages, such as scalability, agility, and optimized performance.

In today’s business climate, innovation is critical to business success, and IT leaders are pressed to consistently innovate at a pace that the business has come to expect. LogicMonitor is thrilled to feature a Q&A with Melissa Person, the Global Vice President of IT Infrastructure and Operations for PVH, the parent company of iconic fashion brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen, and others.

Unlike SQL, which was developed in the 1970s to limit data duplication, NoSQL is a relatively new type of database. NoSQL came about in response to increasing amounts of data, and it uses a distributed system to help organize large amounts of structured and unstructured data. NoSQL is popular in business tech and other industries, with large organizations such as Amazon, Google, and LinkedIn using NoSQL databases.

OpenTelemetry and Prometheus are classified as monitoring tools, but they also have significant differences that your company should know about. For cloud-native applications, OpenTelemetry is the future of instrumentation. It’s the first critical step that allows companies to monitor and improve application performance. OpenTelemetry also supports multiple programming languages and technologies.
