There is little argument that for organizations to compete and thrive in the Digital Era, collaboration amongst their teams will be vital. Yet, despite all the hype and talk over the years (including countless collaboration apps), a gap has remained. According to Asana, authentic collaboration demands three things: content, communication, and coordination. While many tools have addressed the content (Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, etc.) and communication (Slack, Teams, Zoom, etc.) side of things, the industry has done little to address the broad coordination that organizations require in a... [Read more]
     

The big news for Cumulus Networks since we last covered them in May 2019 is their pending acquisition by GPU leader Nvidia.

Cumulus offers a version of Linux with in-kernel networking capabilities sufficient to provide a single operational network fabric across enterprise data centers and campuses.

The idea of a campus hearkens to the day when physical wired networks connected various office locations at a particular geography. Today, Cumulus also supports virtual campuses consisting of... [Read more]
     

Particularly in this time of mandated work from home (WFH), keeping your teams connected and engaged is essential. Likewise, delivering an enticing employee experience helps to ensure productivity and a sense of cultural cohesion.

Digital Workplace platform, MangoApps, has been focused on helping enterprises create this type of engagement and cohesion for over ten years — long before WFH became a thing. The company states that its platform is... [Read more]
     

When we first spoke to Platform9 in December 2016, it was just bringing its managed OpenStack and Kubernetes as-a-service offerings to market.

When we next spoke to the company in October 2018, its focus had shifted more toward Kubernetes, as it added a Kubernetes-native serverless framework to the mix.

Today, Platform9 offers a... [Read more]

Pyze offers a user experience analytics tool that enables its customers to add analytics to any application – including apps they build with low-code tools. Pyze then provides visibility across both mobile and web apps to enable its customers to quantify the ROI and other business metrics for their applications... [Read more]
     

In a world full of static analysis, testing and monitoring tools, there’s been a lot of attention paid recently by the DevOps community toward establishing observability of the inner workings of applications in production, in order to determine the root causes of problems and improve resiliency. 

Rookout is a new player in this arena claiming to peel the observability onion a layer further to offer deeper understandability of software as it runs in production. Utilizing a ‘non-breaking breakpoints’ feature, Rookout can... [Read more]
     

Scalyr bills itself as an observability and log management platform, but its offering is far broader than those use cases would suggest.

At its core, Scalyr is a massively parallel, cloud-based database that leverages its entire EC2 cluster of compute capability to respond to any search query with blazing speed. It works well with time-series data – essential for log management and other observability use cases – but also works with any other... [Read more]
     

ShuttleOps is a startup emerging from a long stealth runway of enterprise service engagements, with a solution that standardizes much of the application packaging and production CI/CD pipeline into a drag-and-drop, push-button execution exercise.

The ‘no-code’ claim may seem hard to believe in today’s complex development tooling, configuration management and hybrid IT application deployment environments. Even when ‘automating all the things’ is the... [Read more]
