In 2017, 49% of companies using a SaaS (Software as a Service) service had adopted a multicloud strategy. By the end of 2022, this number is set to grow to 75%. That’s according to Gartner1, drawing attention to what is now a truth that can be shared on many fronts: the word cloud is synonymous with multicloud, given that most companies use multiple public and private clouds. This approach eliminates crucial challenges such as vendor lock-in or latency, and enables easy management of cloud costs. Thus, the need for tools to effectively administer the multicloud arises.

No need to tell you that hybrid working has become the new normal in no time. However, many business leaders still have questions about how exactly this mix of telework and office work should be organised. Employees who are given more autonomy will be more motivated, more productive and more engaged, right? On the other hand, with 100% home working, there’s a greater chance of isolation, and in extreme cases eventually burnout. In other words, how do organisations create the right balance between the digital and physical workplace?

There are a few effective steps that can help your organization to put your risk on a ransomware attack very low or even not existing.

“Nobody said it was easy…” Reaching Observability was always going to be a tough ask, but entangled cloud environments and the pace of application changes have made achieving that goal even tougher. Organizations are now, more than ever, facing a big wave of Observability data. These datasets are complex, multidimensional and high velocity. What are the hurdles you should overcome to avoid drowning in data, and ultimately reach maximum if not full Observability?

Observability, AIOps, APM, Monitoring… Over the past few years, much (digital) ink has been spilled on these key IT topics. But it is not always easy to tell where one concept ends and another begins.

Some of the confusion stems from diverse positioning by technology research companies and deliberately vague interpretations by technology vendors.

In most cases, customers are looking for Observability solutions, because these are considered (or promoted) as the next big step on the ladder towards the ‘cloud-native’ era. This may well be true. Yet before they ‘jump’, customers really need a better understanding of Observability, and how it can help them and their organization.
