Privileged access management - the network gatekeeper
As a sysadmin, one of your key responsibilities is to control access to the network. You probably have a good idea of which devices your colleagues in IT are accessing and what they’re doing while connected. What about that user from finance who “needs” additional access to the ERP system? Or the engineer asking you to setup remote access to the factory systems, so one of their suppliers can connect to diagnose a problem? Things very quickly become complicated, and that’s without considering compliance requirements, such as auditing, and the new CISO mandated “Zero Trust” policy.
2023 tech trends: How AI is shaping the face of IT, OT, and IoT monitoring
As CTO of Paessler and also someone who works in tech, I like to stay on top of the latest technological developments and explore the trends that will shape the industry in the years to come. Describing the near future is always a buzzword jungle, but I want to keep things as concise as possible: This article covers Artificial Intelligence and examines what positive impact AI can have on the broad field of IT, OT, and IoT monitoring. The three other terms that play a role here are machine learning, IT transparency, and observability. Let's get started.

Retrofitting and Skysens - knowledge is power
Whether you call it Industry 4.0, IIoT or Smart Manufacturing, the objective behind these trendy buzzwords is the same - to “connect all the things”. Whether you're responsible for a segment of critical national infrastructure, production lines in a thingamabob factory or a small family run farm; instrumenting and collecting data from your production environment can transform your business in terms of efficiency, cost savings and profitability. As Sir Francis Bacon (among others) observed “scientia potential est” or “knowledge is power”.

Everything you should know about probes in PRTG
Remote probes are an important part of Paessler PRTG. They allow you to monitor networks and devices in remote locations or branch offices. A remote probe acts as an additional monitoring instance and provides the sensors to monitor networks, devices and applications. Remote probes monitor autonomously and send the monitoring results back to the PRTG core server for each check they perform.

Keeping warm (enough) with PRTG
I often joke with my international colleagues that here in the UK, we measure the passing of the seasons by the temperature of the rain. Thanks to some research done by a local utility company, I recently found out that the area I live in is officially the “coldest, wettest and windiest” place in North Wales – I’m not sure if I should be proud or plan to relocate!

What you can learn from the Microsoft 365 outage...
...and how our SYSadmins at Paessler AND our customers were always informed up to the second! On January 25, 2023, some Microsoft 365 services were unavailable. The service outage impacted mainly Teams, Exchange Online and Outlook worldwide.
Integration of PLC controlled air conditioning systems into PRTG
Air-conditioning systems in a data center are, among other factors, a guarantee of trouble-free operation of its servers, switches, storage systems and other hardware. Some manufacturers of air conditioning systems enable control of the devices via PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). In these cases, PLC technology is the key in the air-conditioning technology for energy-saving cooling. Intelligent control helps to reduce energy consumption and avoid unnecessary costs.

Choosing between on-premises and off-premises IT monitoring
Choosing between on-premises and off-premises: there are good to very good arguments for both, some of which are mutually exclusive. Every single decision for an on- or off-premises software must therefore be taken individually, based on the specific situation, the challenges, and the goals of a business. IT monitoring exists today – in all its facets – both as an on-premises and an off-premises option. And we at Paessler, as monitoring experts since 1997, offer products for both worlds.
