Momento Migrates Object Cache as a Service to Ampere® Altra® (Wed, 17 Dec 2025)
Organization Momento caching infrastructure for cloud applications is complex and time-consuming. Traditional caching solutions require significant effort in replication, failover management, backups, restoration, and lifecycle management for upgrades and deployments. This operational burden diverts resources from core business activities and feature development. Solution Momento provides a serverless cache solution, utilizing Ampere-based Google Tau T2A instances, that automates resource management and optimization, allowing developers to integrate a fast and reliable cache without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

CMDB vs. IT Asset Management: Why Confusing Them Can Break Your IT Operations (Wed, 17 Dec 2025)
Today, organizations are investing in technology more than ever before. However, many of them stumble — not because they lack resources, but because they confuse seemingly similar elements of technology implementation. A common example is the misunderstanding between two essential tools: Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) systems. At a cursory glance, both appear to track IT resources, but once you peel back a few layers, the difference is much more significant. Imagine CMDBs as a city map that shows how different IT components interact and how business processes flow together. ITAM, on the other hand, is more like a ledger. It tracks ownership, costs, and the entire lifecycle of hardware and software assets. Technically speaking, CMDBs focus on mapping relationships between configuration items, while ITAM manages asset tracking. When these two technologies are mixed up, IT teams can face serious challenges in making informed business decisions.
