In your organization, the wide area network (WAN) is probably the least of an application developer's concern, but one of the most vital in terms of delivering application performance over the internet or across your private corporate network. CIOs quickly realize that a good network can either be a great enabler for digital transformation initiatives or a bottleneck. The COVID-19 situation has further put a spotlight on the WAN as an agent of change ...

Most of us have personally felt the effects of an application failing on us on some level. Sometimes, the impact a software outage has on us is trivial — we are temporarily unable to book a flight for vacation, we are forced to call a customer service rep rather than using an online portal, or we're unable to watch an on-demand movie. While frustrating, these experiences are often inconvenient rather than catastrophic. But what about when the application failure has much larger implications? ...

The prospect of digital transformation for smaller retailers (and convenience stores in particular) often raises the traditional concerns about security, cost, or a lack of skilled IT staff — leading to the feeling that it's just too daunting to undertake. The good news is that retailers of any size can now begin their own digital transformation journey by selectively introducing technologies that quickly make their business more competitive. Here are five key steps smaller retailers can take to streamline their journey ...

In today's iterative world, development teams care a lot more about how apps are running. There's a demand for fixing actionable items. Developers want to know exactly what's broken, what to fix right now, and what can wait. They want to know, "Do we build or fix?" This trade-off between building new features versus fixing bugs is one of the key factors behind the adoption of Application Stability management tools ...

With the rise of mobile apps and iterative development releases, Application Stability has answered the widespread need to monitor applications in a new way, shifting the focus from servers and networks to the customer experience. The emergence of Application Stability has caused some consternation for diehard APM fans. However, these two solutions embody very distinct monitoring focuses, which leads me to believe there's room for both tools, as well as different teams for both ...

Robinhood is a unicorn startup that has been disrupting the way by which many millennials have been investing and managing their money for the past few years. For Robinhood, the burden of proof was to show that they can provide an infrastructure that is as scalable, reliable and secure as that of major banks who have been developing their trading infrastructure for the last quarter-century. That promise fell flat last week, when the market volatility brought about a set of edge cases that brought Robinhood's trading app to its knees ...

By tracking and reporting performance in real time, IT teams can ensure applications perform at peak efficiency — and guarantee a seamless customer experience. How can IT operations teams improve application backend monitoring? By embracing artificial intelligence for operations — AIOps ...

In 2020, DevOps teams will face heightened expectations for higher speed and frequency of code delivery, which means their IT environments will become even more modular, ephemeral and dynamic — and significantly more complicated to monitor. As a result, AIOps will further cement its position as the most effective technology that DevOps teams can use to see and control what's going on with their applications and their underlying infrastructure, so that they can prevent outages. Here I outline five key trends to watch related to how AIOps will impact DevOps in 2020 and beyond ...

20 years ago, IT Operations teams around the world needed a way to know when their J2EE Applications began having problems, and how to fix them when they occurred. That was the onus for my favorite enterprise IT technology: Application Performance Management (APM). It's been two decades since APM began appearing in IT shops, and the industry has evolved quite a bit ...
