The more complex the system, the more stress placed onto the monitoring which underpins it. Chris Banat talks about what he's seen in a life long career dissecting the world's most complex IT Estates through the lens of monitoring. 
- When you perform monitoring, do you ask these 3 key questions: Is it up? Is it working? Is it performing?
- What can you expect from good monitoring?
- What prevents good monitoring?
- What are some multi tool & integration best practices?

A Guide To Monitoring: How To Improve Performance

Cyberattacks and volatility in the financial markets might take up the spotlight in the news, but some of the greatest risks for financial services institutions (FSIs) stem from internal IT transformation efforts and the potentially dire consequences of downtime when they go wrong.
In the always-on economy, it’s now expected that FSIs can provide responsive customer experiences based on real-time data and the most up-to-date technology. However, many FSIs are weighed down by a multitude of applications, tech stacks and storage solutions, which can increase complexity and prove extremely costly when they fail.
With the cost of even a few hours of downtime being measured in direct financial impact, reputational damage and customer loyalty, many CIOs and senior IT leaders are placing operational resilience and monitoring at the forefront of a successful digital transformation strategy.
Many are also implementing AIOps and DevOps-led approaches to drive greater visibility across their IT estates and ensure their systems, data and business applications are always working within normal parameters to prevent failure before it happens.
So in this panel we’ll explore the ways in which FSIs are using monitoring and net technologies to improve observability, drive efficiencies and ensure operational resilience.

Operational resilience: How are FIs using monitoring to drive performance?

Measuring Success During DevOps Evolution

The Enterprise DevOps Skills Report of 2019 found that the top three attributes needed in the DevOps space are automation, process skills - and most importantly, soft skills. While new technology and processes are always evolving and improving the way developers and IT operations teams work, one thing is for certain - it is the people that ensure success. 

In episode 12 of Day-to-Day DevOps, we’re exploring how DevOps teams can bridge the gap between humans and machines to create truly best-in-class collaboration and problem solving, and ensure happiness at work.

Join us live as we cover:
-  What humans can do that machines can’t in DevOps
-  How to harness your soft skills to achieve success
-  The SKIL framework and what it can bring to your operations
-  And more

Guests:
Zack Wood - Sr. Cloud Systems Architect at Fidelis

Humans and Machines - Where's The Gap?

Digital Transformation projects have been the hot topic internally for much of 2020. In 2021 we expect more of the same to continue, but what are some of the precursors which people often over look? And are your teams employing scalable monitoring best practices in order to ensure any Digital Transformation doesn't come unravelled in the future?

The role of monitoring in Digital Transformation

72 percent of respondents in a recent Everest Group survey described their cloud strategy as hybrid-first. With the benefits of hybrid cloud including agility, lower capex and reliability, it’s little wonder it’s such a popular cloud strategy. But from the difficulties of getting a handle on overall cost and managing cloud spend to incompatible infrastructure and potential security and compliance issues, the challenges can also be significant.

In episode 14 of Digital Transformation in Action, we take a look at why overcoming the hybrid cloud challenge is worth it and how businesses can confidently manage its complexities in order to reap its rewards.

Join host Alex Hilton and guests for expert advice on overcoming hybrid cloud challenges including:

- Overcoming migration complexity
- Ensuring hybrid governance
- Scaling in the right direction
- Managing costs with visibility and confidence
- Mapping the right goals and outcomes

Guest speakers: 
- Stephen Boals - SVP Strategy and Evangelism, Ephesoft
- Mahesh Desai - Chief Relationship Officer, Rackspace
