When it comes to ensuring system availability and performance, the stakes have never been higher. Let's start with two important statistics: Simply put, outages can be mitigated but not avoided. Depending on your business' scale, a crimped network cable is all it takes to crumble your reputation with your customers. Let's explore the common threats you'll face when it comes to managing your IT infrastructure.

As cloud computing continues to dominate IT infrastructures, automation has emerged as a critical tool for enhancing operational efficiency, especially within platforms like AWS. By automating routine tasks and workflows, organizations can reduce the need for manual intervention, minimize human errors, and accelerate deployment cycles. Automation also plays a vital role in resource optimization.

Nothing is more frustrating for users than navigating a website only to encounter errors that interrupt their journey. Script errors, a common issue in web applications, are particularly challenging because they provide minimal information for diagnosis, showing only a cryptic "Script error" message in the browser console. Let's explore what script errors are, their common causes, and how you can resolve them effectively.

The Microsoft SQL database is frequently used for storing, managing, and retrieving data for various application and computing purposes. However, one common issue that keeps the database from healthy functioning is slow query execution. In this article, you will learn about slow queries and how to track the slow queries in your Microsoft SQL database using Site24x7's SQL Insights.

Every click and scroll relies on fast, reliable data. The topic of data is incomplete without databases, which leads us to the next crucial topic: database performance tuning. The shift to cloud computing combined with the rise of diverse database types (SQL, NoSQL, and cloud-native databases) have brought new challenges and new ways to keep things running smoothly. This two-part blog series is all about fine-tuning your databases to meet the demands of today’s applications.

Imagine your business is running smoothly, but behind the scenes, your databases are struggling to keep up. Queries are lagging, resources are stretched thin, and user satisfaction is beginning to decline. Does this sound familiar? This is where database performance tuning comes in to save the day. In this final portion of our two-part blog series on database performance tuning, we'll explore the helpful techniques of database performance tuning with real-life use cases and practical solutions.

Microsoft has officially released Windows Server 2025 for general availability in early November, 2024. While this update has been expected for a long time, we want to cover the five major changes that have been rolled out with this release.

Organizations grow, and so do we. At Site24x7, we continually evolve by incorporating customer feedback and staying ahead of industry trends. As our valued customers who use the product day in and day out, you likely want a thorough understanding of all the features and use cases it has to offer.

Garbage collectors in Java, along with other programming languages such as C# and Python, are automated processes that run in the background to free up memory. Garbage collectors routinely identify and reclaim unused memory to stop memory leaks (unused objects still being referenced) and make applications more efficient and faster for end users.

Without visibility into webpage performance metrics, organizations risk encountering several critical challenges. These challenges include slow load times deterring potential customers, difficulty in troubleshooting performance bottlenecks, inefficient resource allocation, missed opportunities for optimization, and a damaged brand reputation due to poor user experience.

Understanding how real users engage with a web application or website is crucial for the success of any business. Analyzing this data reveals vital insights into user behavior, performance metrics, and the overall experience. However, this vast amount of information can be both a blessing and a curse. While it holds the potential for invaluable insights, it often becomes overwhelming, making it difficult for teams to pinpoint specific performance issues affecting user experiences.

A file system determines how the operating system stores, organizes, manages, and retrieves data from a storage device. With a file system in place, files are systematically stored and accessed. File systems should not be confused with storage devices like hard disks, SSDs, or USB drives. Let's learn what file systems are, their types, and why they are critical in enterprise environments.
