2020 has been a challenging and unpredictable year. While some businesses steadily sailed through choppy waters by relying on Information Technology (IT) to drive their digital transformation initiatives, many struggled in the face of shutdowns.

Our blogs this year covered a wide range of topics that we hope helped our readers respond to both new and ongoing challenges and stay on top of key trends in the IT industry.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the most widely read Kaseya blogs in 2020.

Network monitoring is critical to maintaining stable IT operations. It ensures that potential performance issues and network failures are detected quickly, allowing you to take corrective action and minimize potential downtime.

It provides a standard set of information than allows network administrators to centrally monitor distributed Local Area Networks (LANs).

5. NOC: An MSP’s Guide to Network Operations Centers

A network operation center (NOC) services company is a third-party resource that delivers IT services, such as endpoint monitoring and management, on behalf of a managed service provider (MSP) or internal IT team. MSPs sometimes outsource these services to an NOC so that they can operate efficiently and grow their business without adding to their headcount.

6. Business Impact Analysis: An Integral Part of Business Continuity Planning

Has your business conducted a business impact analysis (BIA)? If not, it’s never too late to conduct one. A BIA identifies the impact of a sudden loss of business functions, usually in terms of cost to the business. It lays the foundation for a solid business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) plan and helps prepare an organization for the inevitable effort required to recover from a business disruption. Learn all about BIA and business continuity planning in our blog.

Service desk management is a subset of IT service management (ITSM).
