Why MSPs Choose OpsRamp for Hybrid IT Operations Management

OpsRamp’s recent survey found that 91% of IT operations teams were looking to increase spending with managed service providers (MSPs). The major reasons for working with MSPs to monitor and manage hybrid infrastructure were technical expertise (63%), security know-how (52%), and cost optimization (50%). A modern IT operations management (ITOM) platform can help MSPs tame infrastructure complexity by monitoring legacy and modern environments, deliver the right operational context to better understand the impact of infrastructure on the health of IT services, use machine learning techniques to improve critical operational metrics, and handle customer requirements for compliance with secure access to hybrid and cloud IT infrastructure. In this Tech Talk, we'll review key OpsRamp platform technology that enables service providers to accelerate digital transformation for their customers.

New command line client, back to Go!

It feels like a lifetime ago, well, 3 years is a lifetime in tech, that I wrote a blog post explaining how we rewrote our API server from Golang to Ruby on Rails. Here we are and I'm about to explain about how we've been back and forth doing the same thing for our CLI. Just after that time, I wrote the first version of our CLI utility in Golang. However, with only me knowing Golang on the team, we weren't able to achieve the velocity and pace of adding features within the CLI as I'd like.

Grafana vs Chronograf - The Dashboards

Visualization and Analytics are two of the most important aspects of monitoring without which the entire data stack could just mean NOTHING. Considering the plethora of graphing tools available in the market today, selecting the right one could often be confusing. In our blogs at Metricfire, we break down the best tools in terms of their setup efforts, usage, market competitors, pricing models, best practices, and many more. Grafana and Chronograf both are among the best tools available today.

Early Ransomware Detection and Response

The inability to access critical digital assets can be catastrophic to your operations. Ransomware is therefore one the scariest, but also most common online assaults. Join this webinar and learn how Flowmon, a leading network detection and response tool, helps to cover visibility gaps, detect ransomware and respond even prior to locking down digital assets. We will go through Flowmon's features via live demo and show you how to trace attackers’ footprints across the system.

Data Security and Privacy Techniques for Everyone

Everyone on the internet should follow good data security and privacy practices. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. IT pros aren’t the only people who need to protect their data. If you’re online in any capacity, there are some basic techniques you should use. I’m not talking about things like encryption and data masking; if I tried to tell my mother about those, she would stare blankly at me.

Monitoring Hybrid IT Environments With AppOptics

Over the past decade, organizations have been moving to a hybrid cloud model. A hybrid cloud is a form of cloud computing where applications are deployed on a combination of public clouds and private infrastructure. With a hybrid cloud, organizations can choose the most optimal deployment strategy for their applications while maintaining control over certain aspects, such as running user-facing services from a public cloud while storing sensitive data on-premise.

Accelerate Observability with Catchpoint and Wavefront

Web applications have evolved from static pages with minimal user interaction to a dynamic intuitive interface that delivers advanced functionality. the complex architecture of these applications makes it necessary to monitor and maintain application health, performance, and end-user experience. Catchpoint’s monitoring platform provides all the tools you need to track application performance.

Telecommunications observability with the Elastic Stack: Monitoring voice traffic data

Applying an observability strategy to core telecommunication data processing enables operators to answer questions that were not possible to answer before. As this approach has gained prominence, the Elastic Stack has become increasingly popular in the telecommunications space, with companies like Deutsche Telekom — their data transformation effort championed by Hans-Konrad Roth — adopting Elastic as their solution of choice for international traffic monitoring.
