The 9 Essential NOC Metrics to Master for Operational Excellence

In today's fastpaced IT landscape, modern Network Operations Centers (NOCs) are the backbone of reliable infrastructure for businesses of all sizes. For MSPs, leveraging managed NOC services can dramatically improve uptime, security, and overall client satisfaction. The global NOC as a Service market is projected to grow from about $3.7 billion in 2025 to over $9 billion by 2034, underscoring rising demand for expert, alwayson network oversight.

How VETRO's Network Inventory Management Software Solves Data Chaos for Fiber Providers

Fiber network operators often grapple with fragmented data, leading to inefficiencies and operational challenges. In many organizations, critical information is scattered across spreadsheets, legacy systems, and proprietary databases. These silos make it difficult for teams to access the latest network information, leading to outdated records, miscommunication between departments, and delays in service delivery. Moreover, reliance on manual data entry and inconsistent data formats can introduce errors, further complicating the maintenance of data accuracy and integrity.

What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)? Best Practices, Tools, Examples & Why Every Organization Should Be Using It

Infrastructure as code (IaC) is the act of writing infrastructure configurations as code so they can be understood, repeated, and enforced with less manual effort. IaC is also a powerful way to convert institutional knowledge into technical knowledge. It’s a far-reaching and essential part of managing infrastructure at scale, with benefits that have expanded to platform engineering, security and compliance, network administration, and so much more.

NVIDIA Rubin (R100) vs. NVIDIA Blackwell (B200) GPU

Since 1999, when NVIDIA invented the GPU (graphics processing unit), the demand has “skyrocketed”. At CES 2026, CEO Jensen Huang announced their latest GPU, named after Vera Rubin. This follows on from the announcement of their Blackwell lineup only two years ago. Through this blog, we’ll explore what the industry knows about the Vera Rubin so far. Plus, we will take a look at some specs in comparison to the NVIDIA B200 from the Blackwell lineup.

Breaking up with backstage: Why "free" open source isn't always free

We’ve all had that moment where it seems like you've solved your company's biggest engineering challenges after a weekend of hacking something together. Your prototype is so good, you feel, that the obvious next steps are to build a slide deck, rally the team around your work, and prepare the ticker tape parade for your hero's welcome. Jeff Schnitter, a Solution Architect at Cortex, knows this roller coaster of experience all too well after his time at Workday.

A year of documentation-driven development

For many software teams, documentation is written after features are built and design decisions have already been made. When that happens, questions about how a feature is understood or used often don’t surface until much later. A little over one year ago, our team began to recognize this pattern in our own work. Features generally functioned as intended but were difficult to use or explain. Documentation lagged behind releases.

New data from CodeRabbit shows AI makes 70% more errors than humans—mostly in logic. Stop shipping "AI Vibes" to production. Use the new Testing Pyramid: Deterministic (Validation) Record & Replay (Mocking) Probabilistic (Vibes) Don't let your agents break prod.

MCP: Why AI Needs Git Intelligence

GitKraken CTO Eric Amodio breaks down the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and explains why Git intelligence is critical for AI agents at GitKon 2025. In this session, Eric covers: What MCP is and why every major AI company adopted it Why AI needs Git history, not just file system access How GitKraken MCP removes Git pain safely The future of agentic developer workflows How Commit Composer uses AI to organize commits without losing data.
