How managed service provider CTAC onboards customers at lightning speed

Jan 25, 2022 By StackState In StackState
As a managed service provider, CTAC provides all kinds of IT services for its clients. Efficient monitoring is crucial for them: that way, they can stay on top of performance issues within their customer's IT environments and, eventually, keep their customers happy. However, because CTAC works with many different clients and platforms (such as Microsoft and SAP), their monitoring is often very siloed - which makes it difficult to get an overall view of the performance and health of their customers' IT services.

Nash's Four Favorite Firmware Debug Tools

Jan 25, 2022 By Nash Reilly In Memfault

As much as I enjoy writing firmware, I am, at heart, a hardware engineer. I love hunting for minutia in chip datasheets. I love fiddling with eval boards, tacking on wires, and reworking nets together. I love flipping through The Art of Electronics, finding a new circuit, and piecing through its operation. This is why, when invited to write for Interrupt, I jumped at the chance to write about a hardware-related topic that’s near and dear to my heart: debug tools.

Using Oracle Cloud as a Data Lake Made Simple With Cribl LogStream

Jan 25, 2022 By Ahmed Kira In Cribl

All Cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud offer Object Storage solutions to economically store large volumes of data and retrieve it on demand. It’s far cheaper to store one petabyte of data in object storage than in block storage.

Introducing CloudZero Budgets: Improve Cost Predictability And Eliminate Surprises

Jan 25, 2022 By Bill Buckley In CloudZero
The best budgets aren't roadblocks. They're guardrails: boundaries for quick, collaborative work. Historically, when finance and engineering teams have discussed cloud cost, they’ve run into an obstacle: They don’t speak the same language. At the end of each month, finance gets an ever-changing cloud bill, and engineering explains that, whatever the total, it represents what they need to do their work. Stalemate.
