For organizations running mission-critical workloads on Stratus ftServer environments, the ftScalable storage array is a backbone component, purpose-built for fault tolerance, high availability, and scalable capacity. But even the most reliable hardware requires active monitoring. Knowing which metrics to track, and when to act on them, is the difference between proactive storage management and an unplanned outage.

This post walks storage administrators and infrastructure leads through the key performance indicators to watch in an ftScalable environment and how Sightline EDM makes monitoring those indicators actionable.

In a massive federal environment, “business as usual” involves processing millions of records across some of the world’s largest databases. For federal agencies of this scale, the challenge is twofold: maintaining the technical performance of their Unisys ClearPath® systems while simultaneously protecting the massive financial investment tied to their mainframe licensing.

Mainframe Monitoring is imperative. Mainframe licensing is a primary budgetary concern for any large organization using ClearPath systems.

Most enterprise IT environments are not clean slates. They are the result of decades of technology investment, mission-critical legacy platforms running alongside modern Linux workloads, with business continuity depending on all of them performing reliably, simultaneously.

Managing performance monitoring across Stratus VOS, Unisys ClearPath MCP, Unisys ClearPath OS 2200, Windows, and Linux systems presents a specific challenge: each platform has distinct architecture, distinct performance metrics, and distinct failure modes. Without a unified monitoring strategy, IT teams are left jumping between point tools, manually correlating data, and often discovering problems only after they have already impacted operations.

This blog walks through the monitoring requirements for each of these platforms, explains what a good unified observability approach looks like, and shows how Sightline EDM delivers that capability in a single, browser-based console.

For IT teams managing enterprise Linux or Linux hybrid environments, few issues are as insidious as a memory leak. Unlike a crash that announces itself immediately, a memory leak is slow, quiet, and cumulative. Over days or weeks, an application or process gradually consumes more memory than it releases, until eventually the system struggles to service requests, performance degrades, and, if left unchecked, the environment becomes unstable.

As a leading expert in the field, Sightline Systems can provide the insights you need to address these issues quickly. Understanding how to identify, isolate, and prevent Linux memory leaks is essential for any organization running production workloads on Linux systems. This guide walks through the key diagnostic tools, what the warning signs look like in practice, and how continuous monitoring and threshold-based alerting can turn a reactive scramble into a proactive, manageable process.

Organizations running mission-critical applications on Unisys ClearPath platforms face a common challenge: how to implement modern predictive analytics and forecasting capabilities without disrupting proven legacy systems. The question isn’t whether ClearPath systems can support predictive analytics, it’s about finding the right solution that bridges legacy infrastructure with contemporary data intelligence tools. While forecasting is done in EDM and can therefore be used with any major source (ClearPath, Linux, Windows, OS 2200 and other non-ClearPath systems), for the purpose of this blog post, we will focus on ClearPath.

As aquaculture operations increasingly adopt digital monitoring and analytics platforms, data security has emerged as a critical concern. With fish farms collecting sensitive operational data, water quality measurements, feeding schedules, and financial information through cloud-based systems, protecting this data from cyber threats has become essential for maintaining competitive advantage and operational integrity.

Understanding and implementing robust security measures is not just a technical concern, but a crucial priority for modern operations.

In mission-critical ClearPath MCP environments, audit trail monitoring is essential for maintaining data integrity, ensuring compliance, and protecting your organization from potential security threats. However, many organizations struggle with delayed or missing audit entries, lack of visibility into audit trail performance, and difficulty tracking compliance over time. Sightline Systems‘ comprehensive monitoring solution addresses these challenges head-on, providing the tools teams need to ensure fast, compliant audit trail delivery.

Every day, fish farmers make dozens of decisions based on incomplete or delayed data. Not because of a lack of effort, but because manual data reconciliation has intrinsic human error and slower entry timelines. As fish farmers face mounting pressure to maximize efficiency while maintaining profitability, smart sensor integration has emerged as a critical consideration to eliminate these errors and delays for real-time, informed decision making. But what are the real costs, and do the benefits justify the investment?
