When the coronavirus pandemic hit Asia-Pacific back in January, no one knew what to expect. As the first region to grapple with the questions and uncertainties that the virus presented, leaders had to process the new reality and spring into action at record speed. While navigating the shifting landscape has been a unique journey for all organizations, a few things have proven to be consistent.
IT admins need to know the status of their IT devices, servers, routers, switches, and firewalls. To meet this need, OpManager has a highly responsive and robust notification and alerting system that sends alerts via email, Slack, and even SMS. Murphy’s law says anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and if you’re in IT, you’re probably familiar with how easily things can go wrong.
Synthetic monitoring lets you improve end user experience by proactively verifying that they can complete important transactions and access key endpoints. But your applications serve many users, from customers to all the employees who run your business. This makes testing the performance of any internal-facing services within your private network just as critical as monitoring your external-facing applications.
Ping is a network tool. The tool seeks out a given address over a network to check if one networked device can communicate with another device. The tool then reports on the quality of the connection based on data loss and response times. Uptrends’ new Ping Tool conducts ping tests from multiple worldwide locations at the same time. You can instantly spot localized downtime and latency issues from around the world using one simple tool.
Reinventing any technology is an interminable process. When it comes to legacy infrastructure and virtualization, Nutanix took the giant leap to hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). Dating back to 2009, Nutanix brought in HCI with the vision to invent a better way to build and manage data centers.
Over the past few years, NGINX users have naturally gravitated toward Grafana, and vice versa. These days, it’s not uncommon to see these two open source tools used together in the wild. And for good reason. F5, which acquired NGINX last year, is prioritizing building visibility across the entire product set, to make it easy for customers to quickly gain the insights that they need. Meanwhile, Grafana has evolved into the primary visualization and analysis tool in the open source market.
Most web apps can benefit from a background queue, often used to process error-prone or time-consuming side jobs. These background jobs can vary from sending emails, to updating caches, to performing core business logic. As any background queueing system scales the number of jobs it needs to process, the pool of workers processing those jobs needs to scale as well.
Rancher and SAP have been working on a dedicated verification of SAP Data Intelligence 3 (SAP DI) on Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) cluster and Longhorn storage platform. This blog will guide you on how to properly install SAP DI on an RKE cluster.
I’m excited to announce that Rancher has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by SUSE. Rancher is the most widely used enterprise Kubernetes platform. SUSE is the largest independent open source software company and a leader in enterprise Linux. By combining Rancher and SUSE, we not only gain massive engineering resources to further strengthen our market-leading product, we are also able to preserve our unique 100% open source business model.
