Cloud Pathfinder simplifies cloud troubleshooting by visually mapping connectivity paths between cloud endpoints and integrating the power of AI, identifying where and why traffic is being blocked. By analyzing cloud configuration metadata, it provides instant, actionable insights into routing and security issues — saving engineers hours of manual work.

A well-crafted status page helps you build trust, reduce support tickets, and keep stakeholders informed in real time. But with so many tools available, which one should you choose? We’ve rounded up the top 10 status page tools — from legacy platforms to modern, dev-first options. Let’s dive in!

The pace of software development has changed. With AI coding assistants now embedded into engineering workflows, developers are building faster, shipping sooner, and writing more code than ever before. But as velocity increases, so does the complexity of keeping that code running. When builds fail, developers need answers fast. They need clarity, context, and actionable feedback right where they’re working.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we address real-world challenges, from fraud detection and customer service optimization to groundbreaking healthcare research and treatment. At the core of these advancements lies robust data center infrastructure.

The M365 suite is vast, and the mountains of data that accumulate within each application are huge and ongoing. While data reporting is a necessity, management can feel unwieldy. Luckily, there is an array of reporting software on the market to support this challenge. This blog explores three powerful tools for M365 reporting: SquaredUp, Microsoft 365's native reporting tool, and Power BI.

Server monitoring is essential for organisations relying on digital infrastructure. It tracks performance, availability, and health to ensure smooth operations. Without it, businesses face risks like downtime, poor performance, and security threats.

Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) is an open-source network operating system that has revolutionized data center networking. Originating as a Microsoft-led initiative in the Open Compute Project (OCP) in 2016, SONiC has rapidly gained traction among hyperscalers and switch hardware vendors, including Broadcom, Cisco, and NVIDIA. By building its services using containerized microservices, SONiC brings flexibility, scalability, and modularity to network infrastructure.

Switching network management solutions can be a scary proposition, even when the system you have isn’t working well. After all, network management is the cornerstone of visibility, security, and IT operations, and if something is working “well enough” today, then leadership can be change-averse. However, sticking with a network management platform that isn’t a good fit for your environment can lead to waste, administrative overhead, visibility gaps, and reduced network reliability.

Synthetic data is gaining attention as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve. But what exactly is it, and why is it so important today? At a high level, synthetic data refers to data that's generated by algorithms or mathematical models. It is not data collected from the real world.
