HAProxy Fusion Control Plane gives you power to simplify, scale, and secure your HAProxy Enterprise infrastructure using a centralized orchestration solution, making it easier to extend HAProxy Enterprise’s security and performance across on-premises and cloud-hosted applications. With the release of version 1.1, HAProxy Fusion is more secure, more flexible, and even easier to use.

HAProxy 2.8 is now available, and HAProxy Enterprise 2.8 will be released later this year. Register for the live webinar HAProxy 2.8 Feature Roundup to learn more about this release and participate in a live Q&A with our experts.

Palo Alto Panorama is a network management system (NMS) that provides excellent security updates and static rules in a constantly changing world. The modern world is implementing more technology into our daily lives, so we need more creative and innovative solutions to protect our data and information. Implementing Palo Alto Panorama will reduce administrator workload by building a dashboard where you can monitor all of your IT operations in one place, in real-time.

Firewall systems are critical for protecting your network and devices from unauthorized traffic. There are several types of firewalls that you can deploy for your environment via hardware, software, or the cloud—and they all typically fall under one of two categories: network-based or host-based. Network-based firewalls monitor and filter traffic to and from your network, whereas host-based firewalls manage traffic to and from a specific host, such as a laptop.

As organizations continue to shift their operations to cloud networks, maintaining the performance and security of these systems becomes increasingly important. Read on to learn about incident management and the tools and strategies organizations can use to reduce MTTR and incident response times in their networks.

Networks today span the world and provide many connections between geographically disparate data centers, and public and private clouds. This creates a variety of network management problems. If your network is not working properly, it can be very difficult or even impossible to get the most productive or correct operation of your applications. A sophisticated network requires constant monitoring using the right tools and creating a network performance monitoring strategy.

When you set up on-premise digital infrastructure, it is crucial to enable your devices to communicate with each other. The devices on your network should be able to send and receive data packets to handle requests and send responses back to callers. One of the components that allow data transmission to the proper destination is the network switch. The network switch plays an important role in distributing data packets to devices.

When you send an email or load a website, you probably never think about how the data gets from your computer to the server that needs to process it. But something does have to decide how the data will move across the vast expanse of the Internet – and, in particular, which of the virtually infinite number of potential routes your data will take as it moves from your device to a server and back again.

In a recent meetup I hosted alongside Kunal Kushwaha, we discussed Cilium, an eBPF-powered open-source cloud-native networking solution that offers security, observability, scalability, and superior performance. Throughout this blog I will explore how the increased usage of Kubernetes has led to the need for advanced networking, security, and observability solutions. This will allow us to take a closer look at how Cilium can benefit Kubernetes users.
