Driving Better Outcomes with APM and Observability
The GigaOm report, Driving Better Outcomes with APM and Observability, reviews the state of play for organizations actively considering cloud-native solutions. GigaOm examined where organizations are on their DevOps journey and the role of Application Performance Management and/or observability tooling.

The GigaOm report, Driving Better Outcomes with APM and Observability, reviews the state of play for organizations actively considering cloud native solutions. GigaOm examined where organizations are on their DevOps journey and the role of Application Performance Management and/or observability tooling.

Some key takeaways from the report include:

  • Application complexity is one of the top challenges to cloud-native environments
  • Customer experience is the top justification for going cloud native followed by security, scale, and speed
  • Organizations more advanced on their DevOps journeys see the most significant benefits as software quality and developer productivity

Understanding Query Execution and Database Performance and How They Affect Your Application
Database performance can affect all tiers of your application, which can impact everything from your end-user experience all the way through your cloud costs. However, it can be challenging for administrators, developers, and SREs (Site Reliability Engineers) to understand what is happening within the database. Whether you are using MySQL, PostgreSQL, or cloud databases like Azure SQL Database or Amazon Aurora, understanding the performance of your data tier can be the key to improving applicati

Optimizing SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)
Troubleshooting performance problems with SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) can be a frustrating exercise. This insightful guide helps uncover the myriad forces that can conspire to degrade SSAS performance.
Troubleshooting performance problems with SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) can be a frustrating exercise. This insightful guide by Steven Wright, database sales engineering manager at SolarWinds, helps uncover the myriad forces that can conspire to degrade SSAS performance. In this five-part guide, Wright explains MOLAP SSAS architecture, examines MDX query performance, and offers timesaving tips for tracking trace events and troubleshooting SSAS bottlenecks. While the information in this whitepaper focuses on SSAS in Multidimensional mode (MOLAP), future editions will expand on differences found in SSAS Tabular mode.
The Keys to Unlocking the Power of AI in the Service Desk
Today employees have an abundance of tools and technology available to equip them for success. Managing their needs, especially with technology, is an internal service provider’s primary goal.
Today employees have an abundance of tools and technology available to equip them for success. Managing their needs, especially with technology, is an internal service provider’s primary goal. By creating an intuitive experience that connects employees with resources they might not even know they need, it will be hard for them to ever go back to the old way of dropping a request into an inbox. Artificial intelligence is another vehicle to help provide that experience. AI can streamline service management to help you achieve larger goals in business value and employee experience. There is a reason 82% of IT professionals feel that AI is either "highly important" or "mission critical" to their organizations. The perfect time to examine the role of smart technology in the service delivery processes is right now. This white paper covers four key elements at the heart of service delivery and outlines how AI is either providing answers or providing shortcuts to answers. The result? A better experience for employees and a coordinated, seamless process for delivery by service providers.
The Future of IT Service Management With AI
Employees have access to an abundance of tools and technology which equip them for success in service delivery. It is essential to be proactive and reactive to provide complete artificial intelligence-powered automation service delivery.

From resource stagnation/shortages to the new “distributed enterprise,” IT service management (ITSM) is evolving. And while supporting users efficiently is more challenging than ever, this situation also presents a unique opportunity to lean more into smart technologies like automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. Learn more today by downloading our whitepaper, “The Future of IT Service Management with AI.”

We will take you through the evolution of smart tech, including where it stands today and where it can drive the future for your service delivery, including:

  • What happens when linear processes no longer bind service management
  • Where the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework fits into the equation
  • Why AI is not what scary sci-fi has led you to believe
  • How to move forward with a measured, strategic approach
