Almost three years into the hybrid working experiment and for some, the unintended pilot has turned into an adopted model, while for others the IT complexities of dealing with a remote workforce remain a persistent headache. Although hybrid or remote working are not new concepts, there are several reasons it wasn’t a widely adopted model prior to the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020. Many of those reasons are cultural, but some are purely technical.

There’s a reason why the network monitoring market reached about $2 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $5 billion by 2026. In today’s tech-focused world, organizations require network monitoring to secure and manage their IT infrastructures. One of the crucial systems that every network monitoring and management operation needs to succeed is known as network discovery.

Welcome to the cloud! As businesses and organizations continue to adopt cloud computing, the need for reliable and secure connectivity has become increasingly important. That's where AWS Direct Connect monitoring comes in, allowing you to establish a private, high-speed connection between your on-premises data center and your AWS cloud resources. But, as with any network connection, there are bound to be performance issues and configuration challenges along the way.

In IT, the latest tools are a must to keep companies safe. But here’s why culture is just as important – and how you can foster a safer workforce.

SD-WAN and SASE both build on traditional network models, such as those used to connect a company’s offices. While the two models share some features and advantages, they have different structures and approaches. In the simplest terms, an SD-WAN inspects and routes data more efficiently, while a SASE combines networking and security functions into a single service. Here’s what you need to know.

IPv6 was developed in the late 1990s as a successor to IPv4 in response to widespread concerns about the growth of the Internet and its potential impact on the existing IPv4 address protocol, in particular potential address exhaustion. It was assumed that after some time as a dual-stack solution, we would phase out IPv4 entirely. Almost twenty-five years later, however, we are approaching full-scale depletion of IPv4 addresses, in part because the adoption of IPv6 is still lagging.

Welcome to the jungle! No, we're not talking about the wild, untamed rainforest filled with exotic animals and hidden treasures. We're talking about the jungle of network congestion, where packets of data roam wild and free, causing chaos and confusion for anyone trying to navigate their way through. But fear not, fellow adventurers, for we have the ultimate guide to help you conquer the congestion jungle and emerge victorious on the other side.

HAProxy Technologies attended Kubernetes Community Days France 2023, where 800 participants gathered to discuss cloud-native and DevOps technologies. It’s always a delight to interact with the heart of the industry and hear how professionals and hobbyists are implementing HAProxy as an ingress controller, load balancer, API gateway, and security solution. If we summarized KCD France 2023 in one word, it would be “community.”

Have you ever wondered how the internet manages to translate the domain names you type into the browser into IP addresses that connect you to your desired websites? The answer lies in the Domain Name System (DNS), a complex network of servers and protocols that makes online communication possible. But with this complexity comes the need for DNS monitoring, which plays a crucial role in ensuring website availability, preventing security breaches, and optimizing network performance.

Have you ever found yourself staring at your screen, waiting for a webpage to load, or a file to download, only to be left frustrated by sluggish Internet speeds? It's like being stuck in a traffic jam during rush hour, with no end in sight. But instead of honking your horn and yelling at other drivers, you might be wondering what's causing the holdup. Well, fear not, fellow internet user, because the culprit might just be network congestion.
