Clearing the Microsoft Teams Cache - Centrally Managed with PowerShell and Microsoft Intune
by Guest Drago Petrovic- 0 replies
- 0 views
Microsoft Teams is increasingly becoming the central hub in companies worldwide. Many have introduced Microsoft Teams as a collaboration platform or as a replacement for Skype for Business. For some time now, telephony systems from other manufacturers have also been replaced by Microsoft Teams. Microsoft offers different models of how telephony can be handled, for example: Direct Routing or Operator Connect. When Microsoft Teams is used as a telephony solution, functions such as browsing through the address book become an unconscious but enormously important task that all users use. From time to time there are problems in this (or other areas) …

The importance of using DAX variables / the Kusto/ADX edition
by Guest DanyHoter- 0 replies
- 0 views
The importance of using DAX variables the Kusto/ADX edition Why use variables – the vanilla version You probably heard about DAX variables and saw recommendations to use variables when writing DAX measures. There are two main reasons for using variables: - Readability of the DAX syntax - Performance Readability also includes being able to debug a measure by returning the different variables to make sure that they contain the right values. Performance is about calculating expressions once instead of many times. If you use a measure or an expression more than once or calculate a table more than once, it is a good idea to store the value of the…

5G is not just a wireless network upgrade, it enables new application architecture paradigms which allow you to achieve business use cases that were unthinkable a few years ago! Key 5G characteristics such as very low latency, coverage of large and broad areas, high bandwidth, and very importantly as a differentiator versus Wi-Fi, QoS, reliability, security, slicing, and even network APIs to interact with the network from your apps make those new scenarios possible. We’re excited to share this Infographic or “cheat sheet” we created explaining the key topics related to 5G, fundamental characteristics of 5G, new possible topologies (5G Private MEC and 5G Publ…

Build a web app to manage a custom provider in Viva Learning with Blazor
by Guest Matteo Pagani- 0 replies
- 0 views
In the previous post we have learned the basic concepts behind the Viva Learning integration offered by the Microsoft Graph. However, the scenario we implemented wasn't very realistic. We have learned which APIs to use and how to use them but, in a real scenario, you won't use Postman to manage your custom catalog of learning content, but you would rely on a more robust solution. In this post, we're going to reuse the concepts we have learned to build a better experience: a web application, that we can use to manage our custom learning provider and its contents. We'll focus on how to implement in a real application some of the peculiar features we have learned abou…

Background Our HLS emerging opportunities team recently decided to look at Text Analytics for Heath (part of Azure Cognitive Services) and deliver an end-to-end MVP solution to better understand how it could work in a real-world scenario. Before building the solution, the team talked through several potential use-cases that I will outline below. Potential Use-Cases Patient Intake This use-case looked to automate some of the front-desk processes of a clinic by scanning the patient intake form, using OCR to convert any hand-written data to text, running the result through Text Analytics for Health, and extracting any medical information from the result t…

What’s new: Incident tasks
by Guest liortamir- 0 replies
- 0 views
To triage, investigate and remediate an incident, the SOC analyst is required to perform a list of steps - which may be use case specific or as part of a general SOC standard. The set of steps is commonly called an incident workflow, playbook or SOPs. Formulating these processes keeps the SOC working smoothly and sets the same standards for all analysts, so no matter who is in shift, an incident always gets the same treatment and SLAs. Also, the analyst will not need to spend time on thinking about what to do or worry about missing critical steps. While Microsoft Sentinel’s great automation capabilities help you automate the flow of those tasks or encapsulate them …

by Guest BrandonWilson- 0 replies
- 0 views
Hi everyone! Brandon Wilson (Cloud Solution Architect/Engineer) here to talk to you a little bit about a customer offering we have known as the Well-Architected Cost Optimization Assessment. I must admit, being a father of 6 children, I tend to gravitate towards cost savings where I can, so as a result, the Well-Architected cost pillar just fits the bill for me (no pun intended...or maybe there is). First, we’ll touch a little bit on the Azure Well Architected Framework (WAF), and then go over what we cover in one of the cost optimization assessments. A brief overview of the Well Architected Framework (WAF) In the world of Azure, there are a couple of method…

Industrial Metaverse: Is the future of the Digital Twins’ visualisation in 3D?
by Guest Laziz_Turakulov- 0 replies
- 0 views
Digital Twins is one of those terms that captures your imagination. It has been massively popularised by sci-fi, where characteristics of specific physical objects are replicated and visualised in the real-time state of their virtual clones. So, it’s not a surprise that advances in the “alternative” realities (augmented, mixed and virtual) only help to bring sci-fi ideas to life. The concept of digital twins is applicable to almost any industry: from healthcare (patient’s vital signs) and manufacturing (production line’s efficiency) to supply chain (cargo monitoring) and retail (out-of-stock control). As a result, you can keep your finger on the “pulse” of your digit…

New In SQL Server 2022 and Azure SQL: XEvent Performance Metrics
by Guest MitchellSternke- 0 replies
- 0 views
Running Extended Event (XEvent) sessions on SQL Server has a cost. Since XEvents was designed for high-performance, this is usually unnoticeable. However, it can become an issue depending on which events, actions, and other XEvent features are in use. New metrics available in SQL Server 2022, in Azure SQL Database, and in Azure SQL Managed Instance can help you understand the performance impact of using XEvents in your database. The sys.dm_xe_session_events DMV (sys.dm_xe_ database_session_events on Azure SQL Database) provides one row for each event found in an active session definition, allowing you to see all events that are currently publishing on your SQL Serv…
