In the first article of our series, we explored the importance of trace headers and the complexities involved in their propagation. Now, we shift from theory to practice. This second installment will take you through a hands-on baseline scenario and our initial strategy of propagating the OpenTelemetry trace context in AWS Kinesis by using the PartitionKey parameter.

With many SASE vendors prioritizing security over performance, businesses are left with a gap in their network management strategies. Before implementations, SASE vendors make promises about the performance of their SASE services, but, how can customers ensure they’re getting what they paid for? And how can they avoid slow or sluggish networks leading to frustrated users, decreased productivity, and even financial losses?

The availability and performance of a website is critical to achieving success for the business behind it. That’s why website owners must deeply concentrate on monitoring and sweetening their website’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In our post today, we aim to get to know the top 11 availability and performance KPIs website owner should be aware of. We will categorize these indicators into three segments: availability KPIs, performance KPIs, and user engagement analytics.

For decades, the data center has been the core hub for applications, routing, firewalls, processing, and more. Now, the enterprise is highly reliant upon distributed workplaces, cloud-based resources, and third-party-operated networks. In this context, modern networks encompass more diverse infrastructures, requiring IT organizations to contend with the added demands of managing and maintaining these expanding environments.

Quality engineering (QE), or software quality engineering (SQE), is a discipline within software development focused on ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of software products. With an increase in development environment complexity in recent years, the focus has shifted back from detecting defects in later stages, as QA has typically done, to proactively ensuring quality throughout the entire development lifecycle.

IT and security teams have several products they use and in turn, have many admins. Some have wide privileges, while others have focused responsibilities for the various tools and touch points in an IT and security data path. Not all admins are members of all tools. But they are all typically part of a larger group bound by an email alias (aka a distribution list).

In a recent meeting, long-time N-able partner Wade Weppler of WW Works mentioned that one of his customers requires high availability for a business-critical application. “High availability,” in this case, meaning two fully replicated servers set up for nearly instant failover. Weppler solved this using Hyper-V’s native replication. “There’s no extra cost, other than the second server, but Hyper-V replication is complex to set up and manage,” he said.

Today, we are excited to announce that we have partnered with Boomi to provide its customers with unparalleled observability capabilities on its integration platform.

The emergence of cloud computing. Arguably the biggest change in technology in decades, cloud computing changed how technology would now develop and how businesses and organizations would operate. Indeed, the enormous popularity of cloud services is due precisely to that: you can get different models depending on your operational needs. To properly utilize these cloud service models, you should understand the differences in their functional capabilities and the ideal use cases for each model.
