Gartner recently held their annual IT Symposium/Xpo in Orlando and Barcelona, respectively. We attended both events, a jam-packed four days of learning, dynamic conversations, and innovative sessions. It was great showcasing our latest capabilities, reconnecting with our clients, and witnessing first-hand the demand for Internet resilience within the broader community.
The ping network test, a core utility since the 80s, plays a crucial role in confirming connectivity between IP-networked devices. In this guide, we'll delve into what the ping command is, how to run a ping network test, common IP addresses to ping, interpreting results, and troubleshooting errors.
While we built Grafana Loki as an open source log aggregation system that is cost effective and easy to operate, let’s face it: sometimes there is no time or bandwidth to mess around with self-managing and self-hosting. Luckily there’s the fully managed Grafana Cloud observability stack for log management. “Grafana Cloud is a no-BS platform. The engineering costs of hosting it ourselves would be much higher," says Jameel Al-Aziz, a software architect at Paradigm.
Event. Alert. Incident. These terms are bandied about, often interchangeably, in IT operations management. Broadly speaking, they all refer to situations where something is potentially amiss and needs to be investigated and resolved. Each of these three words does, however, have a distinct definition. Because they are used in scenarios where clear communication and timeliness are critical, it’s important to understand the differences and use them appropriately.

TrackJS started ten years ago. To date, the only funding TrackJS ever received was the initial founder investment of $4,500 dollars (a whopping $1,500 per founder). Today, you’d call us a “bootstrapped” business. We’re proud of that fact. It means there’s no outside investors. No one to make us build a product we don’t want to build. And no one that can pull the plug if the growth chart doesn’t look like a hockey stick.
Agile methodology has not just entered the realm of project management – it has transformed it. Central to this transformation is sprint planning, a stage where teams come together to outline tasks, set goals, and prepare for upcoming challenges.
Hyperscalers are driving the shape of new metro optical networks – literally. AWS, Microsoft and Google have reshaped data center to data center connectivity over the years and now, as they populate their data centers with telecoms equipment, they are deploying it in higher density, with a better power utilization than telcos get. This is because they are not depth constrained so can go up to 600 millimeters deep unlike the standard telco 300mm hard limitation.
