In the quest to address climate change, companies are becoming increasingly aware that in addition to decarbonizing their operations and value chain, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) must be part of any net zero strategy. This aims to address their hard-to-abate emissions alongside emissions reductions. However, the reality on the ground is that CDR is still a nascent industry with a large number of small technology developers, most of whom are in the R&D or early deployment phase. Investing in some projects can feel more like a long-shot R&D investment than an informed procurement decision. By diversifying investments across a range of nascent but already proven CDR technologies and projects, companies can reap significant benefits and unlock a positive business case today.

Now, more than ever, many organizations face immense challenges to maximize revenue. Inflation. Tighter budgets. Cost reallocations. Competitive growth opportunities. Whatever the reason, they demand highly available, customer-facing applications and services that rely on a high-performing and reliable underlying infrastructure. And they want it all without excessive spending on engineering resources. To achieve this goal, first, you need a single observability platform that informs how your underlying infrastructure impacts your application performance. Second, you need a cultural shift that embraces end-to-end observability—inclusive of people, processes, and tools. The ultimate goal is to achieve full-stack observability so you can detect and resolve issues quickly while minimizing impacts on your teams and customers. If you want to build, deploy, and operate high-performing services, while reducing high tooling and engineering costs, this ebook is for you. You’ll discover how to achieve application performance monitoring (APM) and infrastructure monitoring from a single observability platform that enables you to: Lessen revenue loss as a result of downtime. Reduce tool sprawl. Remediate performance issues quickly to minimize customer impact. Let’s get started.

Businesses are supporting new levels of diversity in device types, operating environments and work locations. With hybrid work dominating most organizations, the management and security of both corporate- and noncorporate-owned devices have become challenging, requiring close collaboration between IT and security teams. The rapid acceleration in the use of third-party SaaS applications delivered from an array of cloud service providers is adding further complexity. IT and security teams require broad management, prevention, detection and response capabilities that must span devices and operating environments often outside their control. This dynamic is driving many to look for convergence between management and security capabilities to improve collaboration, and to simplify implementation and ongoing management functions. IT and security leaders are therefore collaborating in strategy and purchasing decisions as they seek out more unified endpoint management (UEM) and security tools capable of providing visibility, assessment and mitigation of software and configuration vulnerabilities, which is currently difficult or impossible to achieve with existing mechanisms. Many organizations using desktop-as-a-service tools are actively researching adjacent technologies — including desktop security and management tools, security management tools and endpoint security tools — with an eye on collaboration and efficiency. In support of these growing trends, converged endpoint management and security options are emerging, enabling IT and security teams to efficiently manage and secure a growing number of devices and workloads. Take this brief survey and learn what’s driving converged endpoint management and security.
