It features an innovative, orthogonal architecture for modular, centralized routers, merging the best aspects of modular and fixed systems. This architecture combines the redundancy and I/O diversity of modular systems with the simplicity and cost-efficiency of fixed systems.

Machine learning vs AI: Key differences and how they work together

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are often used interchangeably in tech discussions, yet they represent distinct concepts with important differences. While AI refers to the broader field of creating machines capable of intelligent behavior that mimics human capabilities, machine learning is a specific subset of AI focused on developing algorithms that allow computers to learn from and make predictions based on data.

Going beyond MTTx and measuring "good" incident management

Going beyond MTTx and measuring “good” incident management We’ve chatted with hundreds of engineering teams, and a pattern keeps popping up: everyone’s tracking MTTX metrics—MTTR, MTTA, MTT-whatever—but when you ask, “Cool, so what are you doing with that?” …you get blank stares. And honestly, fair enough. Time-based metrics are easy.

Observability Pipeline: An Easy-to-Follow Guide for Engineers

You've got systems spitting out more logs, metrics, and traces than you can handle. Your monitoring costs are through the roof. And somehow, when something breaks at 3 AM, you still can't find the exact data you need. Sound familiar? Welcome to the observability pipeline conversation—no jargon, no fluff.

Zero Code Instrumentation: The Missing Link in Observability

Have you ever struggled with systems that fail to tell you what went wrong? The kind where you’re digging through logs at 2 AM while alerts keep piling up. In DevOps, clear visibility into your applications isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. This is where instrumentation without code changes can help. It simplifies observability, reducing the manual effort needed to track down issues. If you haven’t explored it yet, you might be making troubleshooting harder than it needs to be.

How DCI to the Edge will be important for AI

AI continues to dominate the networking landscape in 2025, but what impact will it have on future developments? The network edge is expected to play an increasingly significant role as AI model training in the core transitions to inference at the edge. This webinar will discuss the importance of the edge in AI advancements and explore how service providers can leverage their prime assets—space, power, and network infrastructure—to support this rapidly growing application.
