Is it worth the RISC-V?
More and more companies are captivated by the RISC-V revolution (Reduced Instruction Set Computer - Version Five, say “risc-five”). With a golden future on the horizon, RISC-V is poised to reshape the computing landscape. Tech giants like Google are recognizing its potential, going so far as starting to make RISC-V a “tier-1 platform” in Android. The open-source nature of RISC-V invites collaboration and empowers developers to shape the future of computing. But what exactly is RISC-V, and what advantages does it hold in comparison to ARM and x86? In this article, we will embark on an enlightening journey to unravel the mysteries of RISC-V and delve into its extraordinary advantages.
Understanding MQTT architecture: a deep dive
Monitoring industrial information networks is essential to ensure performance, reduce unplanned downtime, and optimize energy use in daily production. An important aspect of monitoring these networks is understanding the protocols in use, the most common of which are HTTP, OPC UA, and MQTT, among others. For this article, we will focus specifically on monitoring MQTT, which has become more common in Operational Technology networks with the rise of the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things).

What's going on inside your industrial control cabinet?
The industrial control cabinet has long been a staple in industrial environments. It provides a neat solution to keeping devices organized, often with protection against harmful conditions found on factory floors like excessive dust or humidity. With the rise of automation, the devices in a cabinet have become more varied as IIoT has required more network connectivity than in the past. Because of this, the role of ensuring all the parts inside the cabinet are working falls somewhere between the OT technicians and IT administrators. Knowing what’s going on inside an industrial cabinet requires a combined overview – which is only possible with a holistic monitoring approach that spans OT, IT and the IIoT.

PRTG mobile apps: Tell us what’s next!
We realized early on that our users needed to access their PRTG alarms and data while at home, at work, or even on the go and after hours. This led us to develop an app for iPhone and iPad, followed quickly by an Android version. Briefly, we also had a Blackberry and Windows Mobile app – but the history of those is a story for another day… 😉

Keeping watch: Monitoring your path to sustainable IT
If it is obvious that increasing requirements for the economy to effectively protect the climate lay in our future, how do smart decision-makers prepare for the new normal today? Each region of our world differs from the other in its economic parameters. And different ways of asking can sometimes yield conflicting answers. What unites us all is the disruptive impact of climate change, which is posing an ever-increasing threat to humankind. In this study, we examine the ASEAN and ANZ markets in more detail, to better understand the current state of sustainability practices among businesses — and dive into current barriers in deploying green IT practices.
