Tideway Foundation’s strength in its approach to scanning has always been its ability to quickly gather lots of critical data from the estate without needing to deploy agents. However, it also has its drawbacks.
Our latest sprint of work in Engineering has been to help users resolve a lot of scanning issues much more easily.
Today Tideway was front and center in the Wall Street Journal in an article highlighting the Tideway Foundation Community Edition. This type of top-tier business press coverage is great exposure for any company. But it’s even more gratifying to see the effort – and faith – we’ve put…
When upgrading to a new version of a piece of software, there is always the risk that something goes wrong: A feature you depend on has changed in an incompatible way, a new bug has made it into the software, or it does something new that has not yet been…
I came across this interesting article on the 42U website other week highlighting the severity of the challenge organizations face in managing the increasing power and cooling demands of data centers.
The article illustrates that IT equipment (servers and storage) are the largest consumers of power in the…
This week we release the latest Tideway Knowledge Update (TKU). For those who aren’t familiar with TKUs they are monthly updates of patterns that extend and enhance Tideway’s software discovery capability.
The March release includes 15 new products and 5 enhancements and more importantly provides deeper discovery of Oracle Database…
I went to CloudCamp last night. For those who don’t know, CloudCamp is a series of UnConferences about Cloud Computing (as opposed to a conference about camping in places with inclement weather). You can find more information here.
This CloudCamp was the third to take place in London. The…
I have a confession to make. It may shock you, so you had better sit down.
Are you sitting? OK, here goes ……
I enjoy writing patterns!
Phew! There, I have said it. Glad I got that off my chest.
Seriously though,…
The most recent sprint of work in Foundation’s engineering department focussed on making Foundation into the obvious tool for doing a datacenter baseline. I’m not going to wander off into a complete discussion of how our clients and partners go about doing baselines, but by way of introduction…
No large…
Cloud computing has come up in conversation a lot recently. It’s clear that IT is moving toward a service-oriented future – and cloud computing is one of the hottest trends. Cloud computing provides a single point of access for an enterprise’s computing needs, allowing them to cut costs and avoid…
One of the interesting aspect of using agentless discovery is that there is always a chance of an interaction with various Intrusion Detection Systems of one sort or another. Internally we have our own systems continually monitored by both the current release of Foundation and the latest stable cut of our development code. These have both been running the 7.2 since early January without issue. However this week we noticed something interesting that we thought worthwhile bringing to your attention.
