Check, measure, and monitor your bandwidth for an effective network infrastructure

Having slow internet speed can cause huge frustration among the users in an organization. We know how effective use of bandwidth can influence productivity in your business. Bandwidth is the volume of information that can be sent over an internet connection in a measured amount of time calculated in megabytes per second. For instance, let’s assume your organization’s network bandwidth is a canal and your data is the ships sailing through it.

Are you tired of slow Internet speeds and mysterious network hiccups? Well, fear not because we have the ultimate solution for you: a Raspberry Pi network monitor setup with Obkio! Cloud and hosted solutions are becoming more and more popular, which makes monitoring network performance more important than ever.

BGP Beyond Preventing Outages

Since its initial conception on the back of a napkin, BGP has been an essential part of the Internet. However, its ubiquity and simplicity also make it a potential weak spot in any organization's Internet Stack. As an open, near-universal protocol it's a vector for potentially malicious attacks. It can also cause the same amount of problems simply through misconfiguration (in fact telling the difference between the two can be a challenge in and of itself).

OpenTracing via Jaeger

Within enterprises, it used to be that applications ran on a single server. Owners could directly monitor that discrete machine, conveniently access all the logs they needed, see all the metrics that mattered, and hit the reboot button, without needing to confer with “everyone.” Those days are gone. Modern application architectures stretch the definitions of the words “federated” and “distributed.” We now have distributed applications.

DataOps Uncovered: A Bold New Approach to Telemetry and Network Visibility

Network telemetry and DataOps play a critical role in enhancing network visibility. By combining both, organizations can improve network visibility and gain insight to help them optimize their network performance, improve security, and enhance the overall user experience.

How Much Bandwidth Do I Have? How Do I Check Bandwidth Speed

Understanding how to check your bandwidth speed can make all the difference when your Internet connections appear slower than usual. Sometimes, not everything works as expected. A video conference takes too long to load everyone's cameras; downloading a vital document starts at a snail's pace; webpages present the visitor with a low-resolution HTML version of their website. Why do these kinds of issues occur in the office?

3 IoT applications that should consider private networking

As IoT (Internet of Things) device form factors have got smaller and batteries have got better, use cases for IoT applications have expanded into every sector. From trucks, to shipping containers, people, to cattle, an organisation’s assets can be fixed, mobile, autonomous and even sentient - relaying information that can deliver new business insights and competitive advantage. But these benefits only come if the information is able to get to the right place at the right time.

The New Networking Realities in Healthcare

Systems for managing electronic health records (EHRs), clinical decision support, claims and payments, operations, and more are advancing rapidly in the healthcare industry. A more complex and dynamic mix of internal and external networks now play an integral role in patient outcomes. Digital transformation in healthcare is swiftly moving from islands of data to interconnected hybrid environments through critical apps like Epic Systems.
