Fiber Paths and Failsafes: Why Your Network Design Matters
Redundancy isn’t just a buzzword – it’s the design principle keeping modern AI and cloud applications online. In this Uplink episode, Kevin Schlosser, Interconnection Product Manager at NTT Global Data Centers, explains how resilient infrastructure is engineered to expect failure but remain operational. We explore: Diverse entry points and fiber path management AI-driven bandwidth growth: 100G standard, 400G emerging Cooling innovations for intense compute workloads Why providers without their own fiber may offer the most resilient paths.
Network Switch Monitoring: How to Monitor Switch Performance with SNMP
If you’ve spent any time managing networks, you know the switch is the backbone that keeps everything connected, but it’s easy to take them for granted until something breaks. Monitoring network switches isn’t just “nice to have”; it’s critical if you want to avoid those sudden outages that bring everything to a halt.
Top Browser Extensions to Enhance Your Online Privacy
In the era of digitalization, it is more important than ever to preserve online privacy. In the age of growing cyber threats, data breaches, and intrusive tracking technologies, protecting your personal data when using the internet is a priority. Browser extensions that are meant to protect your data, block trackers, and increase security are one of the best options to enhance your online privacy. This article discusses some of the most useful browser extensions to boost your online privacy, and gives you factual and interesting information to make an informed decision.
What is Data Center Interconnect (DCI)? A Complete Guide
Data centers have become the beating heart of digital business. Everything from financial transactions to cloud-based collaboration tools depends on the seamless movement of information between these high-powered facilities. As demand for bandwidth grows and companies stretch their networks across cities, states, and continents, the ability to connect data centers securely and efficiently has taken on new urgency. But linking data centers isn’t as simple as laying fiber between buildings.
Data Center VXLAN Overlay Visibility at Scale
VXLAN overlays bring flexibility to modern data centers, but they also hide what operators most need to see: true host-to-host and service-to-service traffic. Kentik restores that visibility by decoding VXLAN from sFlow, exposing both overlay endpoints and underlay paths in a single view without the cost and complexity of pervasive packet capture — the result: faster troubleshooting, smarter capacity planning, and confident operations at scale.
5 PCI DSS File Transfer Requirements You Can Meet With Serv-U
Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is essential for any organization that handles credit card data, and it extends far beyond databases and payment gateways. One area often overlooked is file transfer workflows, which can pose serious risks if not properly secured.
If you want to monitor reality, you have to monitor your users' perspective.
Not from your data center. Not from your internal network. Not from your controlled environments. Real users are on hotel Wi-Fi, public LTE, spotty networks, global cloud providers. To understand their experience, your monitoring needs to reflect their reality: location, device, network, context.
Network Visualization: 4 Ways to Visualize Computer Networks
Network visualization is the process of visually representing networks of connected entities, like devices, data flows, or relationships, using nodes and links. This technique helps in understanding complex data, identifying patterns, and improving network management by providing a clear visual overview of the network’s structure and behavior.
