Instrumenting the Public Cloud Network

1 month ago | bloorresearch.com | Paul Bevan

While the growth of public cloud services has delivered a tremendous range of business benefits there remains a significant gap in the provision of true, end-to-end visibility. This restricts the ability of IT teams to provide complete assurance about the performance and availability of many business-critical applications. Free Download (subject to terms)
New life in the Mainframe

2 months ago | bloorresearch.com | David Norfolk

I can still remember when every year or so I used to read a new “Death of the Mainframe” story. And, yet, the mainframe is still here, and companies like IBM, BMC, Broadcom and others are still doing very nicely out of it. It is transitioning to “Just Another (very powerful) Server” – I wish we could lose the name and start calling it “Enterprise Server 3.0” – but it is still basically the same, throughput-based, highly parallel, highly available architecture.

Testing Trends in 2025

2 months ago | bloorresearch.com | Daniel Howard

Software testing is difficult: software continues to evolve at a rapid pace, as does the need for high quality and reliability in software from both a usability and a governance perspective. This means that software testing must be fast enough to keep up with development, while being thorough enough to satisfy stringent quality requirements.
Trovares becomes Rocketgraph, launches AI-driven front end

2 months ago | bloorresearch.com | Daniel Howard

We last covered Trovares in 2019, when it had only just come out of stealth mode. At the time, we were impressed by the performance of its in-memory property graph engine, its capacity for query processing on extremely large graphs, and its adoption by large companies and (we strongly suspected) government agencies.
Environment Management with Enov8

2 months ago | bloorresearch.com | David Norfolk |Daniel Howard

Enov8 is an Australian software vendor offering products that help its customers to manage and enhance their DevOps-based application development environments. It was originally spun off in 2013 from an IT services company, so its current products are based on automation of its previous practice and experience. It now targets large enterprises, particularly in financial services, across various geographies and industries.
VMware support from Park Place Technologies: a better option

Mar 28, 2025 | bloorresearch.com | Paul Bevan

I think it is fair to say that the past 16 months have been fairly traumatic for VMware customers and channel partners following its acquisition by Broadcom. Much has been written about the ending of perpetual licences, the transition to subscriptions and bundling of software that has left many customers with potentially much higher costs. During this same period Broadcom has sought to position itself around Private Cloud and has been promoting VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) very heavily.
Vector databases

Mar 20, 2025 | bloorresearch.com | Daniel Howard

Vector and vector-compatible databases (which is to say, databases with vector capabilities, that may or may not be multi-model) are designed for storing, searching, and otherwise operating on vector data. Although they have seen a recent surge in popularity because they are well-suited to working with GAI and LLMs, they have actually been around for quite some time.
Testing Tends in 2025

Eggplant Intelligence: AI-Augmented Testing powered by Generative AI

Mar 10, 2025 | bloorresearch.com | Daniel Howard

We live in a world entranced by generative AI. It is almost impossible to get away from it: it has truly broken into the mainstream. Even the proverbial person on the street knows of it, although they might not know much about it. In the business world, almost everyone wants to implement generative AI as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. But there is still a lot of confusion about what, exactly, generative AI is, how it works, and how it can best be utilised.
