Let’s dive into the world of Objective Monitors in the context of Active Directory (AD) servers and explore why monitoring them using DX Unified Infrastructure Management (UIM) is crucial.

We often hear the term "observability" in the context of DevOps and how SREs use telemetry data. Collecting and analyzing this telemetry data is a vital first step to a successful autonomous IT operations strategy. Observability can help you find out about problems in your system you didn’t know you had—and before your users are impacted—by giving you new visibility that your monitoring systems don’t provide. But any observability initiative must also include network observability.

As the world gears up for the Paris Olympics, it’s not just athletes who need to be in peak condition. This Olympics comes hot on the heels of the largest IT outage in history. Recovery efforts from the CrowdStrike outage are still ongoing. Lessons will be learned, no doubt, but at least one takeaway is already evident: the modern web is an oh-so-fragile thing; neglect digital resilience at your peril.

Network topology describes how a network‘s nodes, connections, and devices physically arrange and interconnect, as well as how they communicate. The arrangement or configuration of a network’s components plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth ITOps with minimum downtime. Any issues in the network can disrupt operations, leading to potentially dire consequences. To prevent this, you need to understand your network functionality and structure.

The amounts of data we’re storing and moving today take up a lot of resources. Statistics vary, but we know for sure that trillions of megabytes of data are created every single day – and all this data needs somewhere to live.

Today, 84% of enterprises have reportedly embraced a multi-cloud strategy, lured in by the promise of improved agility, resilience, and innovation. But that multi-cloud adoption comes with challenges. Read on to learn more about how a multi-cloud strategy paired with observability can simplify that complexity.

Most of us are aware that generative AI offers opportunity for innovation and efficiency where it is revolutionising how businesses operate. However, its impact is not fully understood. Earlier this year, Console Connect conducted a survey by Arlington Research which engaged 1,000 global CTOs and senior leaders to gain a better understanding of the challenges and demands associated with gen AI adoption.

Network closets, often referred to as IDF closets or telecommunications closets, are small yet vital spaces that house important networking equipment, acting as the hubs that connect various parts of an organization's IT infrastructure. Despite their significance, network closets are often overlooked and undermanaged. Poorly managed network closets can result in network downtime, reduced efficiency, and increased maintenance costs.
