Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a cybersecurity response strategy that focuses on three core principles: Early detection of indicators of attacks. Fast containment of compromised systems. Rapid eradication of malware from infected systems. The earlier an attack is detected, the easier it is to contain and eradicate it. The longer it goes undetected, the […]

Containers have had an immense impact on the way we build, deploy, and manage applications and networks. They provide a standardized environment containing all of the dependencies needed to run an application, including runtime, libraries, and tools. Containers also solve one of the key challenges with virtual machines: They are easy to create and can […]

Network latency testing tools help determine whether your network infrastructure is sufficiently capable of supporting your business goals by identifying any performance bottlenecks. These network latency testing tools evaluate quality of service (QoS), which is an important and performance-limiting factor for network communications. Challenges to QoS and network latency drive the need to test network […]

A growing number of organizations are either outsourcing their services or partnering with other organizations to scale and offer a greater variety of services. What this means is that remote locations are increasingly being utilized for service delivery. But what does that mean for overall enterprise security? Given that more and more workloads are also […]

Edge computing technology changes rapidly, so it’s hard to keep track of its many developments. Still, if you’re wondering which in-demand technology skill is the most valuable and future-proof, consider edge computing.  Edge computing is changing how data centers and cloud services work, creating new opportunities for business growth and fresh insights into customer habits. […]

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks are protected, meaning only selected devices and systems are allowed inside the network. An outside user cannot access the inside without authorization. This blocks unauthorized access by trusted insiders, or by hackers that gain access to network assets. Enterprises can take steps to protect against attacks, such as: Limiting physical […]

Enterprises are shifting to the cloud because it enables them to deliver on their digital transformation goals. To support a rapidly growing mobile workforce and offer customers a better experience, enterprises are adopting SD-WAN over MPLS networks. Both provide high-performance connectivity for private or hybrid clouds between offices, data centers, and remote sites. However, with SD-WAN […]

Network management teams now focus on quick responsiveness, performance, agility, and low cost of ownership. That’s why they’re turning to cloud technologies like software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions that provide flexibility at an affordable price point. SaaS can quickly deploy and customize for specific needs, giving time-saving features such as automation and event correlation across heterogeneous networks. […]

Network switches are computer networks’ building blocks, making up the core of any network setup. In order to understand what they do, it’s important to know how they work and how they differ from other networking devices like routers and hubs.

Today’s networks support extensive workloads in complex enterprise IT environment. With high-performance computing (HPC) and AI/deep learning applications, organizations are under pressure to meet increasing demands for faster compute cycles, more data transfer rates and excellent connectivity.  In addition, strict security measures require higher levels of encryption. And, as users rely on these systems to […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) a broad term that describes a wide range of devices that can connect and process data via an Internet connection. This sector continues to expand and evolve as more industries realize the valuable use cases that IoT offers. IoT devices can collect data about their surroundings and send it back […]

In most cases, organizations look to run microservices on platforms such as AWS or Azure. However, there are times when they need something more than what public clouds can offer – performance, or global deployment – or even perhaps a highly restrictive use case requiring custom features that aren’t available in an open cloud environment.  […]
