Observability news stories

A new ransomware report from Gigamon has revealed that one in three organisations see malicious insiders as a route for ransomware attacks.

New Relic's chief architect Peter Marelas breaks down what to consider when selecting and implementing an observability solution.

The report reveals the emergence of a new class of technology experts stepping up to meet critical challenges that combine both strategy and IT.

Gartner has named Dynatrace a Leader in the 2022 Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability.

SecOps teams champion a zero trust strategy to support the fight against the escalating risk of cybercrime and help monitor threat actors across a network.

Recently the U.S. White House released a statement citing intelligence reports indicating "… that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyber-attacks."

Three years into a global pandemic and the shift to all things digital shows no signs of abating. Good digital customer experience is therefore becoming essential.

New Relic has announced the general availability of a first-of-its-kind service level management experience to allow developers, operators and executives to utilise SRE best practices.

The transition from current application monitoring approaches to more comprehensive, full-stack observability solutions over the next five years represents one of the biggest opportunities for the channel today. 

"To produce attractive content in a future shaped by digitalisation, first-class technological capabilities are a necessity".

Companies are often split into two camps when it comes to technology maturity; those trying to accelerate technology and software delivery, and those drowning in technical debt.

"LogFlow enables our customers to take a whole new approach to observability data; one that helps regain control and unblock vendor or cost limitation."

According to the company, the new features address the challenge of managing modern storage infrastructures that are increasingly distributed across geographically dispersed data centers.

Despite the clear need for investment in such technology, CEOs and CFOs looking to improve their bottom line may seek to cut their overall technology spend. Why?

The appointments follow what the company is calling a year of ‘strong team growth’.

Splunk has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Palo-Alto based cloud network observability company, with expertise in network performance monitoring (NPM).

Five-year agreement includes strategic go-to-market collaboration, increased product integrations and development.

"Without observability, it would be challenging to accelerate time-to-market or rapidly scale without compromising uptime and the performance of complex environments."

The new features bring customisable logging, real-time and historical metrics, and end to end request visibility to organisations to give developers greater transparency into what happens after code is deployed within a serverless architecture.
