As part of a recent customer project, we developed a custom cplace Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). This tailored solution enables IT operations teams to monitor the performance, availability, and health of cplace environments directly within the SCOM framework.

As part of a recent customer project, we developed a custom F5 Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). This bespoke solution enables IT operations teams to monitor the performance, availability, and health of F5 infrastructure directly within the SCOM environment. It provides deep visibility into key metrics, helping ensure application delivery remains stable, secure, and efficient.

Your CFO just asked about operational efficiencies across the engineering org. Tooling budgets are under the microscope, and suddenly CI/CD costs are getting attention. Sound familiar? When the pressure’s on to cut software spend, CI/CD often looks like a tempting target. It’s visible, measurable, and seemingly easy to move.

Today, we’re excited to announce support for AWS PrivateLink, allowing Logz.io customers to securely send logs and metrics through private VPC connectivity, without any data ever hitting the public internet. If you’re running workloads inside a VPC on AWS, this upgrade drastically improves your security posture, simplifies your networking architecture, and – most notably – reduces your data transfer costs (a lot).

The following serves as a practical guide for those looking to simplify their architecture by migrating to a Rust monolith. Earlier this year, the platform team at InfluxData undertook a major rewrite of our core account and resource management APIs, moving from Go to Rust and from a microservices architecture to a single monolith. This change supported a new administrative UI for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated and aligns with our broader effort to rewrite the InfluxDB database engine in Rust.

For MSPs, the daily juggling act of managing multiple tools can be a drain on resources, efficiency, and, ultimately, your bottom line. You need comprehensive visibility, streamlined workflows, and the ability to proactively address client needs—all without the headache of disparate systems. That's why we're excited to announce the launch of MSP Central, your comprehensive, unified platform for streamlined MSP business management.

Rich Communication Services (RCS) is an advanced messaging protocol designed to replace traditional SMS. Supported by most modern Android smartphones and, starting with iOS 18, also iPhones, RCS offers a significantly richer messaging experience. It brings features like: RCS elevates the way organizations communicate with users by aligning with the capabilities expected from today’s messaging platforms.

Every IT decision-maker faces a common challenge: balancing operational efficiency with cost control. While software solutions help streamline operations and drive efficiency, they can introduce redundancies into your system. These redundancies strengthen availability through backup systems but often complicate data management, leading to inconsistencies and potential outages. This is where hardware solutions like fabric interconnects prove invaluable.

The enterprise artifact management market - which has belonged for a while to JFrog and Sonatype - is now truly up for grabs. Cloudsmith was built on the core principle that cloud-native architecture matters. So does simplicity in design and workflow. Partnerships matter, too. We’ve built a comprehensive platform that controls and secures every artifact as it’s built, scanned, signed, stored, and shipped across the software supply chain.

Most IT leaders already understand that AI is the future of operations, but too many are still treating it like it’s so far off. The irony? Waiting is exactly what’s costing them the most. While businesses obsess over budget cuts, resource constraints, and service quality, one truth remains: delays in adopting AI for IT operations are compounding operational inefficiencies, inflating labor costs, and stalling digital progress. AI isn’t just about innovation; it’s about scale.
