Typically, when you start using ITAM software, one of the first things to do (besides creating the IT inventory) is upload your assets’ users and locations. Since that information is often located in an on-premise directory (such as Active Directory), IT asset managers use a VPN to synchronize it with the tool. However, this extra step makes the process a bit more complex. But what would you say if there were another way to connect on-premise services to ITAM software apart from the VPN?

If you are looking for a small-scale cloud deployment suitable for the edge, chances are you came across Canonical’s Micro cloud solution. These are small-footprint clusters of compute nodes with distributed storage and secure networking, optimised for repeatable and reliable remote deployments.

Continuing in our series of InfluxDays recaps, we turn our attention to Brian Gilmore’s presentation on Industrial IoT. This is an area that uses time series data extensively and has a lot of room to expand the way it uses this data. Here’s a quick breakdown of where things stand today.

Observability is a growing practice that provides many benefits to IT and DevOps teams. With greater visibility into their environments, teams can determine the state of the system, predict issues, and mitigate them before end users are impacted.

Check out these 12 observability benefits and get started today!

If you are a Symfony PHP developer, you will need Symfony monitoring. With the ever-increasing need for web applications to perform at their best, developers require full visibility and observability. This way, they have full control of the performance and its maintenance. Imagine you have created an application. You have deployed it but do not know how it works. This is where an Application Performance Monitoring tool is of great use. It should be on every developer’s toolkit.

As organizations strive to meet the challenges of digital transformation, they are adopting newer technologies to build more robust software systems. Next generation observability solutions are paving the way to help them meander this maze to deliver better customer experiences and drive business results.
