The last few years have thrown about everything they could at the status quo. Shifting climates, political instability, and a global pandemic have all contributed to a broad host of network device supply chain issues. Consumers all over the globe are still affected by computer chip shortages and many other items delayed by supply chain issues. And it’s not expected to end anytime soon.

Network engineers are constantly looking for ways to improve the security and efficiency of their IT networks. High latency can affect the user experience and security measures can have costly impacts on the organization. And splitting the organization’s assets into different networks instead of one single large network achieves this. It reduces network collisions and computing demands from the devices and improves efficiency and improves the user experience.

Network Detection & Response (NDR) is a key element that provides an additional level of security across the company wide network through detection of threats that bypass traditional security measures and materialize in the company’s digital environment. Progress Flowmon ADS (Anomaly Detection System) is a typical representative of an NDR system that combines various detection techniques to ensure that malicious activity is recognized and flagged as a security incident.

Nobody actually cares about the network. Provocative words coming from a network visibility company, you might be thinking. However, consider what you’re doing right now. You’re reading a blog on a website, maybe clicking around other tabs, possibly streaming some music, and likely keeping an eye on your work chat. These are all applications, and that’s what we all truly care about, not the plumbing that delivers them.

Having achieved almost consumer-grade accessibility, public cloud adoption is increasingly driven by individual business functions. Enterprise teams no longer need to understand how the technology works, or even where the service operates from. To buy a cloud product they just need a web browser and a credit card. But this level of simplicity raises challenges of its own when it comes to regulatory concerns.

Every year hackers grow in numbers, aggressiveness, organization, and sophistication. And every year there are new attack types and new areas of IT infrastructure that cybercriminals target. 2022 is no different. We are about a third of the way in already and IT pros and security specialists already have their hands full with new attacks and new issues.

In the years that I’ve worked with large technology vendors and an MSP provider, there were a few common denominators between the ones that were successful. Partners that were consistently at the top of the food chain were the ones consistently providing value to their customers in some area other than just one specific product or service that was being offered.

With the widespread adoption of cloud technology, data centers play a huge role in running key applications and business processes for organizations around the world. In 2022, the IT spending on data centers is expected to be $227 billion, and $237 billion by 2023. To run these datacenters profitably and deliver quality service to their customers, organizations are constantly trying to squeeze out maximum performance from the hardware.
