Virtana metrics reveal most applications migrated to the public cloud since March were simply “lifted and shifted” without being optimized
The head of AXA IM’s proximity services discusses the importance of creating a digital experience during the lockdown in France. I remember a discussion I had with a senior manager at AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) right at the beginning of what in France has been termed the “confinement” – or “lockdown” in the UK.
Our customers often stress the phenomenal power that comes from the integration of Nexthink and ServiceNow. Bernardo Ramos, for example, former Director of IT for Arkema, saw their integration as a way of getting real-time information on all their workstations automatically and without effort. “With ServiceNow I had the feeling of having something the best of its class,” he told us, shortly before his retirement earlier this year.
This week is the latest Open Infrastructure Summit, in a week where the OpenStack Foundation became the Open Infrastructure Foundation to reflect the expansion of the organisation’s mission, scope and community to advance open source over the next decade to support open infrastructure. It is also ten years since OpenStack launched and a lot has changed during that time.
Telco cloud or a network function virtualisation infrastructure (NFVI) is a cloud environment optimised for telco workloads. It is usually based on well-known technologies like OpenStack. Thus, in many ways, it resembles ordinary clouds. On the other hand, however, it differs from them. This is because telco workloads have very specific requirements. Those include performance acceleration, high level of security and orchestration capabilities.

Teams need real-time, end-to-end visibility into all of the traces relevant to performance issues such as an application outage or an unresponsive service, but managing tracing costs often results in gaps in valuable tracing data.
It was a dark and stormy night. Not really, of course; it was warm and pleasantly mild (the weather never seems to co-operate on these occasions), but indulge me by imagining appropriate meteorological conditions for the spine-tingling story I’m about to relate. It was Morgan’s very first night on call, and they were a mite nervous, as you can imagine.
