Could your Palo Alto firewall do more to protect you against Shadow AI?

In recent months, my conversations with fellow technology leaders have consistently revolved around two key themes: how we leverage AI to drive innovation and efficiency, and how we mitigate the inherent risks associated with AI. However, I’ve noticed a concerning gap – while enterprises are busy strategizing the adoption of AI to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and outpace competitors, very few are addressing how AI is being actively used today by their own teams.

The Network-First Advantage: How Fabrix.ai Redefines Observability from the Ground Up

Modern enterprises today often find themselves in a peculiar predicament: they are drowning in a deluge of telemetry data—including logs, metrics, and traces—yet paradoxically remain blind to what truly matters. Despite making substantial investments in observability tools, teams frequently find themselves reacting to incidents rather than proactively preventing them, with alerts flooding dashboards often devoid of critical context.

Sustaining the demand for AI in Asia with investment in subsea cable infrastructure

Across the Asia Pacific region significant investment is going into new subsea cable infrastructure that will help sustain the long-term demand for AI. We’ve written a lot on this blog about the impact of AI on networks and how AI workloads require low latency, high-capacity data transfer. This in turn puts more pressure on existing network infrastructure and in particular subsea cable systems - which provide the global backbone for cloud platforms and data centres.

Achieving Comprehensive Network Observability for VMware Cloud Foundation

Private cloud infrastructure adoption is accelerating rapidly. This move is driven by the ongoing “cloud reset” as leaders rethink their hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, seeking greater control, security, and flexibility for their IT workloads. As a matter of fact, leaders in 69% of organizations are considering repatriating workloads, and one-third already have.

Is it the network... or the CDN?

When performance issues strike, the finger pointing begins. But here's the catch: CDNs aren't just "someone else's responsibility." They directly impact the user experience, and if they're misbehaving, your network team will be the first to get the call. That’s why CDN monitoring is essential. CDNs are dynamic and performance can vary dramatically across regions, ISPs, or even end users. When something goes wrong, it looks like a network issue, unless you have visibility into CDN behavior.

How To: SLA Monitoring & Reporting: Are You Getting What You Paid For?

Are you tired of feeling like you're in the dark about the services you're paying for? Are you getting what you paid for? Many businesses are in the same boat when it comes to Service Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring and reporting. It’s great having an SLA (or Service-Level Agreement) for the provision of a service, but you need to go further to really understand if the standards specified in the SLA are actually being met. That’s where SLA monitoring and reporting comes in.
