Using VM Performance Monitoring to Boost VM Performance

Virtualization is widely used nowadays due to the advantages for business IT infrastructures, such as scalability, cost-efficiency, and convenient administration. Hardware resources of physical servers can be aggregated to resource pools and provisioned for virtual machines (VMs). Sufficient resources allocated to VMs are required for the expected performance of a guest operating system and applications running on the VM.

PowerShell for MSPs: A Practical Guide to Automate Tasks

PowerShell is an amazing scripting language that empowers Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to automate repetitive tasks, dramatically improving efficiency, consistency, and scalability across client environments. While traditional training or formal education may cover the basics, real-world MSP automation requires going beyond the basics with hands-on PowerShell scripting and continuous learning.

How MSPs Can Reduce EDR False Positives and Reclaim Profit Margins

• EDR false positives are a structural profitability problem for MSPs, not just a technical nuisance. Under flat-fee, per-incident, and man-hours pricing models, every false alert erodes margins directly. • Seventy-five percent of MSPs experience alert fatigue at least monthly, and MSPs managing 1,000+ clients report daily fatigue (Source: Heimdal, The State of MSP Agent Fatigue, 2025).

VMware vSphere HA and DRS Compared and Explained

A VMware hypervisor allows you to run virtual machines on a single server. You can run multiple virtual machines on a standalone ESXi host and deploy multiple hosts to run more virtual machines. If you have multiple ESXi hosts connected via the network, you can migrate virtual machines from one host to another.

Setting the Number of VMware CPU Cores Per Socket: Best Practices

When configuring processor settings for a new virtual machine, there are several key concepts to understand: how to calculate the number of processor cores per CPU and CPU cores per socket and how these settings affect the speed of virtual machines. In addition, it is important to understand what ensures better VM performance: limiting the number of processors and having more CPU cores or having more processors with fewer cores?

Why EDR and XDR are becoming essential for MSP security

Antivirus just isn’t enough anymore — not even close. Ransomware attacks constantly grow more sophisticated, zero-day vulnerabilities appear frequently and attackers increasingly rely on legitimate tools already inside a network rather than just on traditional malware. Antivirus alone just can’t protect organizations from all of those threats.

Comprehensive Guide to Backing Up Office 365 Emails

Do you regularly back up Office 365 emails? If not, there’s bad news. Even cloud giants like Microsoft can experience outages and disruptions. And contrary to popular belief, Microsoft holds your organization responsible for any data loss due to these events. Moreover, according to Microsoft’s Shared Responsibility Model, protecting all your data within Microsoft 365 infrastructure is solely your responsibility.

Common Office 365 Issues and How to Solve Them

You may encounter issues when using any application, and Office 365 is no exception. Not all issues are caused by bugs left unpatched by the software vendor or by third-party applications like the recent Crowdstrike incident that caused a global O365 outage. Many issues that you may face day-to-day can be fixed on the client side. If you encounter an issue in Office 365 that can only be fixed by the vendor, Microsoft usually releases an update to resolve any known issues as soon as possible.

How to protect sensitive data: A practical guide for individuals

Protecting sensitive data is essential in today’s digital world, where personal information is stored across multiple devices and online accounts. From financial details to login credentials, even small pieces of data can be used by cybercriminals if they fall into the wrong hands. The good news is that you can protect sensitive data with simple, practical steps.

Backup Window Management Best Practices

As DevOps environments generate continuous data changes and traditional backup windows assume quiet nighttime periods, proper backup scheduling can become difficult. Modern SaaS platforms often run 24/7 pipelines and commits. Without designated space for backups, and proper management, poorly scheduled backups may cause: In this article we’ll go into what the backup windows are and how to manage them.
