While the pandemic has improved the road conditions in many American cities, the level of congestion in major urban areas are returning to their normal levels of commuter misery. To mitigate these challenges, the Texas Department of Transportation turned to Skyline Technology Solutions and SolarWinds to help monitor all IP and non-IP devices in Dallas in less than 30 days.

It’s no secret public sector organizations face an array of challenges in securing networks. From budget constraints to enforcing a security structure, organizations struggle to keep up with evolving threats. According to the recent SolarWinds Public Sector Security Report, only four in ten public sector respondents are confident in their team’s ability to take on today’s threats.

Today, more than half of the world’s population—about 4 billion people—live in cities. Within the next 30 years, this number is expected to grow by another 2.5 billion people. This influx will increase the burden on urban planners to build working cities, and it will increase the pressure on state and local governments to deliver services to citizens. Cities are looking to the internet of things (IoT) to lessen these burdens, creating connected, efficient, and sustainable smart cities.

Government and education clients and their stakeholders are dependent on their applications and underlying infrastructure. Everyone demands performance and results, even in a mixed environment of legacy and modern applications, made more complex by more moving parts. This makes an IT professional’s job more challenging than ever. Application performance management (APM) tools are no longer an option but are a requirement, whether you’re developing a new application or updating an existing one.
