Businesses rely on accurate network monitoring data because the network is the backbone of IT infrastructure. Lacking internal or external communication about your network can be disastrous, especially if you provide digital goods or services. Network monitoring tools shouldn't be a "nice to have" that may or may not make this year's department budget. They are essential to monitoring performance, spotting anomalies, and identifying potential security issues.

Over the last few years, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have been very vocal in announcing their rollouts of 5G data services. On the subject of 5G voice services, however, they’ve been largely silent because, frankly, there hasn’t been much to say. 5G network transformation has focused on data, since faster data (and not faster voice) is what customers expected from 5G. But customers also expect to be able to make voice calls on their 5G phones when they roam or travel.

The short answer is: Absolutely! In a time when network health equals business health, Network Operations Centers (NOCs) stand as the foundation for operational excellence and innovation. The rapid pace of digital transformation is changing how organizations view network management, with NOCs at the heart of these discussions. Are NOCs relics of the past, or do they hold significant relevance in today’s business landscape?

Disaster recovery plans have always been a crucial part of businesses—especially essential services like banks. These plans help keep your business up and running during a disaster or extreme scenario so you can be there for your customers when they need you the most.

Having interoperable network security is key to protecting your business from a crisis. Here’s why you need it and how your business can achieve it. If cybersecurity isn’t number one on your network team’s list of concerns, it probably should be. According to Forrester, “Two years ago, 63% said they had been breached at least once in the past year.

Like many software teams, here at Kosli we use a continuous delivery approach. This means that every commit to our trunk is automatically built, tested, and deployed to our production-like staging environment. This provides us with the confidence that every build is potentially deployable to production. We use our staging environment to perform final exploratory testing before we deploy to production. Deployments to production are “on-demand”.

With software delivery, speed is everything. But how do you balance rapid delivery with quality, security, and compliance? To answer this question, let’s embark on a journey - one that starts in a software factory to running on the production superhighway.

“What’s really running in prod?” Every engineer will hear these immortal words on a long enough timeline (or career). It might be because a new security zero day was dropped, alerts fired from the depths of a vast microservice architecture, or you might just be looking to know what commit was actually tested. Either way, it often comes with the promise of a stressful day.
