4 Key Reasons Service Virtualization is a Must for Agile Teams

Service virtualization is not new. In fact, the concept and technology were established 20 years ago. At its core, service virtualization offers the ability to simulate behavior, data, and performance characteristics of applications and services. Through service virtualization, teams can ensure they have an on-demand environment to support their testing needs.

Experience-Driven NetOps: What It Is and Why It Matters

Recent events have changed the world forever. For network operations (NetOps) teams, it means there’s no going back to the way things used to be. Virtually overnight, teams had to adapt to work-from-anywhere (WFA) models. The move to SaaS, cloud, and SD-WAN continue to accelerate—and in the process fundamentally alter the nature of network environments.
