There is no doubt that sustainability has quickly become a top business initiative – regardless of industry, company size, or geography. We are excited to launch this first blog as a part of an upcoming series that will cover the most pressing challenges, opportunities, best practices, and first steps for organizations on their path towards green IT. 

Applications are the bridge between the business and customers. But as applications get more complex and distributed, it becomes increasingly challenging for IT executives to assure the performance of these business-critical applications at scale. When an organization’s reputation and revenue rely on a seamless customer experience, leaving application resourcing to guesswork or manual decision-making isn’t going to cut it. Even worse, it will result in skyrocketing costs – especially in the public cloud – and still won’t prevent performance degradation when demand spikes.

The last few months have been a test of resilience for us all – we’ve persevered through a global health crisis, economic uncertainty, the heightened impacts of climate change, and racial injustice… all leading up to one of the most contentious U.S. presidential elections of our time. It has never been more important to show compassion for our employees, customers, and extended community, and to lead with empathy.

As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, our number one goal is to help our customers by supporting their business continuity efforts – for example, we are already seeing how COVID-19 has transformed cloud optimization. As many of our customers have realized, global supply chains are one of the many areas impacted by the pandemic. IT organizations are faced with the question: How will these supply chain disruptions impact my business, and how can I best prepare?

Today is Earth Day! While combatting climate change is something we should think about daily, today serves as an international reminder of our duty to protect our planet and all of those who inhabit it. As we simultaneously battle a global pandemic, our sustainability efforts are going to look a bit different - this year, Earth Day is going digital. Thankfully, there is still plenty we can do from the comfort of our homes to help solve the climate crisis.

On behalf of everyone at Turbonomic, we hope our customers, partners, employees, and community had a wonderful International Women’s Day! Every day, we are inspired by the grit and compassion that our women colleagues lead with. International Women’s Day (IWD) is an opportunity to not only show appreciation for the incredible women in our lives, but also shed light on the work that still needs to be done to achieve gender equality.

As is the case with many new technologies, “observability” can take on different meanings depending on who you’re talking to. In conversations with customers, analysts, and reading what’s online, we’ve seen and heard a few definitions.
