How managed service provider CTAC onboards customers at lightning speed

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.

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.

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

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. As AWS S3 has become the standard, many on-premise storage appliance vendors have incorporated S3 APIs to store and retrieve data. Oracle wisely continued that trend to OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).

Mind Your Dependencies: Defending against malicious npm packages
