That is the question APMdigest posed to the IT industry. ITOps experts — from analysts and consultants to the top vendors — offer their best recommendations for how ITOps can react to this new environment ...
The pandemic effectively "shocked" enterprises into pushing the gas on tech initiatives that, on the one hand, support a more flexible, decentralized workforce, but that were by-and-large already on the roadmap, regardless of whether businesses had been planning to support widespread work-from-home or not ...
Maintaining call quality with Microsoft Teams is a process, not a onetime event. Network engineers and Microsoft Teams application owners need to be vigilant in preserving optimal call quality to ensure audio, video, and screen-sharing always remain satisfactory for end-users. In this blog, we cover how the Microsoft Teams Call Quality Dashboard (CQD) combined with the audio/video synthetic transaction monitoring improves this maintenance process ...
For IT teams, catching errors in applications before they become detrimental to a project is critical. Wouldn't it be nice if there was someone standing over your shoulder, letting you know exactly when, where, and what the issue is so you can correct it immediately? Luckily, there are both application performance management (APM) and application stability management (ASM) solutions available that can do this for you, flagging errors in both the deployment and development stages of applications, before they can create larger issues down the line ...

As new technologies are incorporated to develop attractive, fast, feature-rich, secure, responsive, and turnkey software solutions, the expectations of customers continue to rise. They want their software applications to be high performing irrespective of the digital devices, browsers, operating systems, or networks. And with the preponderance of so many avenues and systems, the complexity of software systems (and their failure) is bound to increase. To address such challenges, enterprises need to look beyond traditional software quality assurance services and embrace quality engineering ...
Name virtually any technology trend — digital transformation, cloud-first operations, datacenter consolidation, mobility, streaming data, AI/ML, the application explosion, etc. — they all have one thing in common: an insatiable need for higher bandwidth (and often, low latency). The result is a steady push to move 10Gbps and 25Gbps network infrastructure toward the edge, and increasing adoption of 100Gbps in enterprise core, datacenter and service provider networks ...

The "APM" solutions we've come to love over the last 2 decades can't handle Serverless Functions or deliver the same performance and operational details that they deliver for other architectural constructs — including App Servers, Frameworks, Cloud, even Containers. And the reason is that they're methodologies for collecting performance data simply won't operate with the same characteristics as it would in persistent code ...
I asked myself this important question: Can APM tools Manage Serverless Workloads? And the answer is "No, not really." It is true that every monitoring solution in the world claims support for monitoring serverless platforms (at least one of them). What I mean by my answer is that the "APM" solutions we've come to love over the last 2 decades can't handle Serverless Functions or deliver the same performance and operational details that they deliver for other architectural constructs ...
