In today's digital world, applications are the backbone of many businesses. From web-based software to on-premises applications, they allow organizations to streamline their operations, increase productivity, and improve customer experiences. However, with the growing complexity of applications and the increasing demand for seamless performance, it has become crucial to monitor their performance continuously.

Given the benefits cloud computing offers such as security, flexibility, better collaboration, and data modernization, organizations of all shapes and sizes have started moving their workload to this technology. With so many organizations using workarounds to gain visibility and control of bandwidth consumption, and with cloud computing letting organizations access and manage the information, the amount of data being generated is also increasing.

Managed service providers (MSPs) play a major part in increasing business continuity and enhancing the productivity of the businesses they cater to. Businesses these days rely on MSPs to take on the responsibility of managing their networks, so they need not spend most of their time on network management tasks like keeping track of network devices, troubleshooting network bottlenecks, etc.

Welcome to the Great Network Race! You might not have realized it, but every time you connect to the internet, you're a participant in a never-ending competition. The goal? To have the fastest, most reliable network connection possible. But as we all know, that's not always the case. Slow network performance can be frustrating, time-consuming, and downright annoying.

With cloud solutions becoming mainstream and hybrid workforces becoming the norm rather than the exception, organizations need to stay nimble and agile for network access that can occur anytime, from anywhere. A thriving organization has a flourishing network that extends its arms globally, yet delivers high speed and performance without any compromise. Hence, organizations rely heavily on their networks for uninterrupted operations.

Port monitoring is a necessary measure to make sure your network is running at an optimized level. For those unfamiliar with New England, many villages and cities began as fishing towns. These communities still do business on the sea, with multiple companies shipping out their products on massive boats. How do these boats gain access to the towns to continue doing business in them?

Regardless of an organization’s industry or size, virtually every critical business activity or service is at least partly reliant upon network connectivity. When network performance slows or issues arise that halt critical end-user services, it can be very costly to an organization. Lost employee productivity, eroded customer loyalty, and reduced sales can all be among the ramifications for even relatively brief service interruptions.

What do network operators want most from all their hard work? The answer is a stable, reliable, performant network that delivers great application experiences to people. In daily network operations, that means deep, extensive, and reliable network observability. In other words, the answer is a data-driven approach to gathering and analyzing a large volume and variety of network telemetry so that engineers have the insight they need to keep things running smoothly.

The transport, logistics, and supply chain sectors are laser focused on efficiency. The aim is to get the right thing to the right place at the right time, making best use of the available infrastructure, while a multitude of global and local factors attempt to eat into margins. In the last 36 months, a litany of events have caused consistent supply chain issues, from Covid to grounded cargo ships, to industrial action to escalating fuel prices.

Spring marks a season of growth, and HAProxy was in full bloom in the Spring 2023 G2 reports. Our users continue to share their positive experiences on G2 and show how new users can use HAProxy to simplify, scale, and secure their application delivery infrastructure.
