If you do not have much idea about how to share technology, you may go crazy when shopping or going through online gift websites. You know that the person you have to give something to for secret santa is a technology nerd, but you don’t know much more, and you are afraid of disappointing your friend or, directly, looking stupid with some gift that you thought was perfect, but your friend finds it the most old-fashioned and obsolete thing that exists in the technology market.

As a company known for our anomaly detection, we know a thing or two about spotting irregularities. So as we reached the end of 2019, we couldn’t help but think back on the 2010s and the anomalies that shook the world. Once we got to listing them, it really became tough to pick just 10. Ultimately, after much debate, we ranked them based on their impact, newsworthiness and how utterly unexpected they were.
New Year’s Eve marks the transition into a new decade, beginning with personal resolutions and expectations for 2020. Much is the same in the IT industry, as support teams expect to adopt trending technologies to reduce their mean time to repair (MTTR) and improve incident resolution.

In my previous post on new approaches to managing hybrid cloud environments, I discussed the issues that commonly arise for IT operations teams. While hybrid cloud gives IT great flexibility to design infrastructure that’s uniquely suitable to diverse business and user requirements, it also brings about more complexity. Hybrid and multi-cloud businesses generate significantly more IT event data and its coming from many more places now.
DevOps teams have more on their plate than ever. As infrastructure needs grow, so does the time required to ensure that everything’s running smoothly. This makes automation crucial – especially in the server and network monitoring world.
