This guide explores the benefits of embedded caching for ISPs and discusses deployment optimization strategies and future trends in CDN technology. Embedded CDNs help reduce network congestion, save costs, and improve user experiences. ISPs must carefully plan their deployment strategies by considering how each of the CDNs distributes content and directs end-users to the caches. They need to know both the CDNs and their network architecture in detail to build a successful solution.

Software testing has been an established discipline as old as software development itself. We have seen significant evolution of testing practices recently specially driven by Continuous Delivery and DevOps, where testing is increasingly integrated with agile development and other software lifecycle practices.

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol for monitoring and managing network devices. SNMP traps are a key feature of SNMP, and they’re used to notify management systems about specific events or conditions on network devices. This article will explore SNMP traps, discuss the different types and examples of traps and outline best practices for using SNMP traps in a network environment.

Picture this: You're the IT manager at a large company, and you're responsible for ensuring that your network is running smoothly. But how do you know if everything is working as it should be? You could wait for someone to report a problem, but that's reactive and not ideal. You could monitor your network constantly, but that's impractical and time-consuming. So what's the solution? Enter synthetic monitoring, the secret sauce to network monitoring.

Staring down the runway of 2023 and toward 2024, I’m wondering what will become of the digital transformation initiatives that began pre-Covid and accelerated over the past two-plus years. We’re certainly not entering a “stop transforming” period. So, what will transformation look like going forward?

A data-driven approach to cybersecurity provides the situational awareness to see what’s happening with our infrastructure, but this approach also requires people to interact with the data. That’s how we bring meaning to the data and make those decisions that, as yet, computers can’t make for us. In this post, Phil Gervasi unpacks what it means to have a data-driven approach to cybersecurity.

Megaport’s latest Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE) enhancements mean higher performance, more choice, and additional security partner options for customers.

The PerfOps suite offers many tools to help you troubleshoot and measure your network performance with ease. One of the most often used tools is the Traceroute diagnostic tool. It is used to determine the path that an Internet Protocol (IP) packet takes from a source device to a destination device on a network.

Somewhere lost in the noise of ‘faster’ and ‘better’ marketing messaging around Wi-Fi in the last few years, there were also some genuine transformations in what Wi-Fi is capable of. And what’s on the horizon maybe some of the most significant improvements since the inception of Wi-Fi itself. Let’s look at where Wi-Fi is at, what big changes have happened, and where we’re going next in the land of Wi-Fi technology.
