Enterprise networks have become too complex for network administrators to use manual workflows for network management. To remedy this, network automation tools help network administrators effectively manage and maintain today’s enterprise networks. Network automation tools alleviate some of these pains by automating administrative actions like device and software management, configuration, deployment, testing, and security updates. […]

On sprawling enterprise networks, it becomes increasingly difficult for network administrators and developers to identify and correct every issue that arises. In reality, even if these professionals had the time to correct all network problems, their energy and expertise could be better spent on more strategic and complex initiatives for the network.  Network troubleshooting and […]

Radio access networks (RANs) are key points in how cellular networks function. For most of RAN’s history, a small selection of vendors has monopolized the RAN market and increased overall cost while decreasing freedom of choice for providers.  Especially as 5G becomes a more concrete reality in both enterprise and public 5G instances all over […]

The fifth generation of cellular technology, or 5G, has started rolling out in pockets around the globe, bringing expanded network connectivity and speed to new users and device types. These advances are benefiting many key enterprise initiatives, especially when it comes to creating automated internal processes and real-time customer experiences through the Internet of Things […]

When a security vulnerability is discovered in software or network infrastructure code, it rarely makes sense to overhaul the whole product, especially due to the time, cost, and frequency of updates that would go into replacement code. Software patches are typically implemented because they can address code vulnerabilities at a microscopic scale, targeting the actual […]

5G, or the fifth generation of cellular networks and technologies, is quickly spreading worldwide but does not yet have a public foothold in most global communities. Enterprises know they can benefit from the ultra-low latency and general speed of 5G, and because of that, many of these companies are establishing their own 5G networks to […]

Enterprise security often fails for a few specific reasons: misconfiguration and poor tooling, lackluster training and user errors, or a total lack of communication across teams. DevSecOps, a combination of development, security, and operational teams and best practices, focuses on eliminating team silos to ensure that enterprise security is injected at all stages of the […]

Container software and platforms provide the necessary environments for enterprises looking to break down their applications into more agile microservices. Containers are software solutions that virtually mimic a physical container by packaging application code and dependencies in one place, away from unrelated application data. This approach ensures that less time and money are spent on […]

Many companies are starting to move some or all of their enterprise infrastructure to a cloud environment, but not all companies are thinking about the cost, time, and overall strategy that should accompany a cloud migration. Moti Rafalin, CEO and co-founder of vFunction, believes the key to successful cloud migrations is developing a cloud modernization […]

As enterprises grow, their application and process development needs are likely to expand and become more complex. DevOps is a methodology that aims to ease the process behind these new developments, teaching development and operations teams how to work together in iterative project work, but not every company succeeds with a DevOps strategy at first. […]

Enterprises work on sprawling networks with different components and protocols, which need constant monitoring and maintenance. The consequences of a mismanaged network can range from employees working on outdated devices and applications to an unsecured API gateway leading to a network security breach.  Network management best practices, and the tools that support them, give network […]

Businesses operate on dozens of workflows and processes at any given time, but how many of those business processes are documented, standardized, stored, and shared in a way that benefits all business users? Business process management (BPM) is a business strategy that focuses on managing these processes through defined workflows, automation, and increased communication and […]
