Enterprise DORA Metrics: Scaling Measurement Across Value Streams and the Organization

DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) metrics are a ubiquitous measure of DevOps performance. These metrics are used in nearly every enterprise engaged in software development. DORA metrics help measure DevOps maturity, identify bottlenecks, and guide quality and process improvements. Despite their popularity, DORA metrics are generally considered difficult to measure and are primarily used by technical teams within the context of their respective domains.

VxRail monitoring to keep your network healthy

VxRail appliances, a powerful collaboration between Dell EMC and VMware, are designed to streamline IT operations and deliver exceptional performance for virtualized workloads. But like any complex system, ensuring peak performance and preventing disruptions requires constant vigilance. This is where VxRail monitoring becomes a lifesaver.

Comparing Encryption in Transit Options

Weigh up three popular ways to protect your data in transit—host level encryption (TLS/SSH), MACsec, and IPsec—to fortify your network security. Encryption in transit refers to protecting data while it moves from one place to another, in contrast to “encryption at rest” which is used to protect data where it is stored. In this blog we’ll look at a few common options for encryption in transit, and the pros and cons of each from a network perspective.

Network Performance Dashboard

In this dashboard tutorial video, we will walk you through building a Network Performance dashboard. This dashboard provides users with the visibility they need into the status of their network performance from their offices down to an individual users device. Obtaining this single pane of glass visibility is made easy with the combination of both CloudReady and Service Watch metrics into dashboards. When utilizing these dashboards, users can quickly identify which networks are performing poorly, allowing them to quickly resolve issues and ensure end users have an optimal experience.
