Whether you work in Manufacturing, Tech, or Retail, you’ve likely considered the impact of automation in your industry. The rapid digital transformation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic forced many leaders to face this concern head-on. But for IT, there is no cause for alarm. Automation is not designed to replace the workforce; it is designed to be ITs greatest asset.

Developing enterprise IT and software-driven consumer products is becoming more complicated by the day. The growing demand for rapid product upgrades requires streamlined performance and stability. To achieve this stability, companies need effective monitoring and observability practices.

Processing, storing, and sending data is at the heart of how we communicate and get business done. This involves implementing various applications, software, and mobile devices that together form an intricate web to process data and information. Programmers will often use message brokers to facilitate this constant flow of information. Message brokers and Pub/Sub messaging systems are instrumental in allowing applications, services, and systems to communicate effectively.

We recently sat down with Jude Bakeer, one of LogicMonitor’s Solutions Engineers, to talk about the future of IT and Observability. Part of Jude’s role requires her to talk to customers and enterprises every day. Over the years, she’s gathered unparalleled insights into key trends across these industries and segments – from ops teams to C-level executives.

Cyber security has continued to gain importance worldwide as hacking and malware threats are rising. Global losses associated with hacking and cybercrime reached $1 trillion in 2020, which has inspired the expansion of the information security industry, with revenue projected to hit more than $170 billion in 2022. As a publicly traded data security firm, CyberArk offers identity management services to protect your company.

The rise of the containerized software environment has left archaic, monolithic application structures behind. Cloud-native applications running via a range of containers, or individual, self-contained software packages, are now the norm. Platforms and tools like Kubernetes and Docker allow developers to create apps that work irrespective of device or operating systems, vastly reducing time to market and increasing potential user base numbers.

We are living in an era where everything depends upon data, any application you are using or that you are creating is going to either consume or create data. LogicMonitor REST API makes it easy for customers who prefer to use APIs to access features without performing activities manually via a UI. LM API allows end-users to perform several activities with added security and reduced efforts. As of today, we are offering v1, and v2, and now have v3 as base versions of API & SDK going further.

The cloud is limitless – a key factor in its appeal – but it also introduces a new set of problems. Enterprises are looking to innovate at rapid speed, to achieve business outcomes, and deliver superior user experiences. But the majority of enterprises need to continue to maintain complex hybrid infrastructures as well as diversify their cloud strategies across multi-cloud environments.

Today’s DevOps teams can reach project goals quickly because they rely on continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) tools that automate tasks. The problem is that there are tons of CI/CD tools out there. How do you know which one serves your team’s needs best? Jenkins stood out as a top contender for years after its release in 2011. More recently (2018), Jenkins X appeared as an alternative.

Big data experts already agree that the amount of generated data is growing exponentially and forecast that it will reach 175 zettabytes by 2025. That projection is predicated upon current realities, which include a growing number of internet users and the billions of embedded systems and connected devices around the world. Even conceptualizing that amount of data is daunting — but then consider how best to manipulate and export it.
