The Future of Monitoring (2/2): The Rise of Observability
In part 1 of our look at the future of infrastructure, I covered how the cloud, containers, and serverless are all shaping IT. I also briefly explained how important observability is becoming.

The Future of Monitoring (1/2): We Won't Care About Infrastructure Anymore
Anyone involved with IT knows that new technology is changing the landscape at an incredible rate. It feels like every day there is something new on the horizon that will ‘change the world’, or at least the way we think about the industry.

Being On-Call with PRTG and iLert
Every organization that relies on their services being always available needs to respond to incidents fast. How fast really depends on the desired availability level. Response times are constrained by the desired availability targets. An availability target of, for instance, 99.95 % allows a downtime of 21.6 minutes per month. That is, if you have one incident per month, the on-call person needs to react within minutes to every incident.
