Balancing Cardinality & Cost to Optimize Observability

creatives — Tue, 21 May 2024 14:21:37 +0000

Back in the day, monitoring was simple. Proprietary monitoring agents sent infrastructurelevel metrics like CPU-usage and another agent sent logs to a syslog server to trawl for error messages.

However, as applications moved from virtual machine-based monoliths to cloud native microservice architectures running in the cloud, understanding the application and system state became much more difficult, requiring a more flexible approach to monitoring. Prometheus, the CNCF-backed open source metrics platform, has grown into the de-facto standard for monitoring cloud native environments, and we’ve moved from proprietary agents to open standards with many software components being pre-instrumented for quick and easy integration. Its popularity is, among other things, due to its inherent flexibility to explore data at will, arbitrarily querying the data to show different slices and views of data as teams investigate issues.

Nine Cost Considerations for Observability Platforms

creatives — Tue, 21 May 2024 13:42:43 +0000

Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research identified nine critical cost factors that can limit an organization’s ability to completely and continuously implement the required level of observability. You can use these nine factors as a checklist when selecting your enterprise observability platform. This should not at all suggest that cost is the only decision factor for selecting observability platforms, but it will demonstrate that an unsuitable cost structure prevents enterprises from actually realizing the benefits of an otherwise ideal solution.

Cove Data Protection Modernises Disaster Recovery as a Service with New Standby Image Feature

shaner@socialmediaomaha.com — Sat, 13 Jan 2024 00:19:06 +0000

N-able, Inc., the solutions partner helping IT services providers deliver security, data protection as-a-service, and remote monitoring and management services, announced it has added a Standby Image feature as part of the company’s recently launched Cove Data Protection solution. By making it simple to create, manage, and report on virtual server images in the partner’s preferred location, ready for quick and flexible disaster recovery, without an expensive proprietary appliance, N-able delivers on the promise of cloud-first data protection as-a-service combined with business-class disaster recovery.

In the past, IT services providers thought they needed pricey backup appliances or traditional image backup to offer the full spectrum of disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) choices. Traditional products’ high costs and ineffectiveness were regarded as the cost of effective catastrophe recovery. With the launch of Standby Image, Cove adopts a novel strategy by fusing a full DRaaS with an affordable, cloud-first architecture. The current host and this version enhance the completely automated Recovery Testing feature.

Ransomware is one of the most popular methods used by hackers and malicious actors. According to The Verizon 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, in 2021 ransomware increased by 13 per cent, representing a jump greater than the past five years combined. Its lucrative nature has incentivised bad actors to expand the scope of their attacks, including the introduction of new variants designed specifically to encrypt or delete backup data stored on the local network, destroying organisations’ last line of defence and further incentivising payment.
