Companies today face a new world. Even the largest corporate behemoths are fretting over shifts in consumer preferences, the competitive landscape, and the next shock. For many firms, COVID-19 was a wake-up call. Now, they’re taking nothing for granted and are racing to seize every advantage. Japanese giant Fujitsu is no exception.

The world is getting used to the idea of a permanent shift to remote and hybrid work. The Everywhere Workplace means your employees are, well, everywhere: some might be in the office, while others come and go, others work from home, and still others are part of the rising trend of digital nomads. It’s a good thing that we’re growing comfortable with the idea of employees being everywhere. But there’s a catch: that means our data is everywhere, too.

Since acquiring SentryOne in October 2020, the SolarWinds team has been regularly updating our Microsoft® Partners and customers about the upside these combined offerings bring to the IT community and the marketplace. Of course, SentryOne has long been recognized for its SQL Server and Microsoft Data Platform tools, with an impressive portfolio of category-leading solutions.

It’s that time of the year again! The MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK evaluation results are in and generating quite the buzz in the industry. And for good reason. The MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK evaluation focuses on a tool’s ability to prevent and detect cyber attacker behaviors. Now in its fourth round of testing, it has become the de-facto standard for how security solutions perform against different advanced cyberattack scenarios.

Spring makes building a reliable application much easier thanks to its declarative transaction management. It also supports programmatic transaction management, but that’s not as common. In this article, I want to focus on the declarative transaction management angle, since it seems much harder to debug compared to the programmatic approach. This is partially true. We can’t put a breakpoint on a transactional annotation. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Some months ago we wrote a quick guide on how to use Sentry with Spring Boot and Logback. Since then, we’ve continued working on improving the development experience, added several features for error reporting and, most importantly, implemented the performance feature in Sentry Java SDK with a dedicated integration with Spring MVC. If you haven’t yet used Sentry in a Spring Boot application - nothing to worry about - you will find all the necessary steps below.

One of my teammates calls change management the "eat your vegetables of ITSM." Just like eating veggies is important for getting nutrients and staying healthy, there is good reason to practice change management — the need for coordination between sometimes misaligned teams and regulatory requirements. Of course, we all know getting our greens can be unappetizing. It's not unlike the often bitter process of navigating complex, slow, and bureaucratic change management systems.

Modern networks are complex. Their complexity is increasing daily. As much as this complexity solves modern-day problems, it may also give rise to many. Adding to the complexity is that networks have become the backbone of an organization. With remote working increasing, organizations are relying on networking infrastructure and technologies.

The importance of networking management is even more now because of increasing network complexity. Network management has become one of the most crucial aspects of a business. Without effective network management, it is impossible to have a productive workplace. It is also impossible to have zero downtime and network failures. Network management makes the high availability of networks a reality. Table of Contents.
