Chris Dancy at the Paessler HQ - Part 1
What the world knows about Chris Dancy: He is the most connected human on earth. What we know about him (because he visited us): He's a very stimulating, likeable guy, who knows about the power of the data we all produce every day.

SAP Monitoring with PRTG
Many large and medium-sized companies rely on SAP as their ERP solution for business-critical areas. One reason they use SAP is for its high availability features. A system failure or a performance degradation will cause high expenditures in IT and cause work restrictions for the users and customers and using a highly available database will prevent this from happening.
Company Network + Private IoT Devices = Trouble
The days of BYOD have changed the way we deal with our workplace. We now use private devices much more naturally in the workplace, perform certain work tasks using them, and are generally much more flexible. But what are the consequences if more and more employees bring more and more IoT devices to work?

From Oil Pipelines to the IoT: A Brief History of MQTT
If it feels like the Internet of Things (IoT) has kind of gone from zero to ubiquitous hype in the space of no time at all, you're not wrong: it's only been around in its current form since the late 90s. Now I know, many might argue that there was a "smart" toaster in the 70s or a monitored coffee pot in the 80s, but the IoT as we now know it only really took shape at the turn of the century. And while it showed some potential right from the early days, it needed a few developments before it could truly become useful.

Were You in IT Support 20 Years Ago? Then You Surely Experienced This!
A few weeks ago I wrote about 11 IT relics from the 90s. Your feedback was overwhelming. So many of you have contributed personal stories and experiences from that time, and there are more every day!

Four quite typical scenarios from the time between 1999 and 2004 are still in my memory. How was IT support back at that time?

We live in an age of irresistible Al hype. Artificial intelligence has not only defeated the world's best Go players*, but has revolutionized our healthcare industry as well as the way we find knowledge. And as if that weren't enough, the insatiable AI monster also tries its digital hand as an artist. But what if AI has been using us for a long time to become more intuitive and human-like, and the big tech companies are doing a brilliant job of hiding it?
4 Facts about Memes You (Probably) Didn't Know
Memes are everywhere. They flood the Internet and correspond to every world-historical event, such as the new Stranger Things season. Here are some facts about memes you (probably) didn't know. 🎁 Plus, we've been working on our own Paessler Sysadmin Meme Page.

4 Metrics for Measuring Your Service Level Agreements
One of the buzzwords we constantly come across when answering PRTG requests is “SLA Reporting”. To keep up with demand, one of our partners created a PRTG plugin for SLA monitoring and back in March of this year, my colleague Sascha wrote a blog post on it.

Healthcare IT: 4 Ways to Monitor a PACS
In our previous discussions about healthcare IT on this blog, we've covered an overview of typical architecture that is found hospitals or clinics, and how to monitor it. More recently, we started looking at individual components (like the Integration Engine).
