Monitor Versa Networks SD-WAN performance in Datadog
Modern enterprises rely on software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs) to connect branch offices, data centers, and cloud environments. While this flexibility improves resiliency and performance, it also increases operational complexity.
Don't Panic: A Low-Risk Strategy for Ingress NGINX Retirement
The Ingress NGINX project is winding down. For many organizations, this means planning a migration for critical infrastructure. While the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller is the natural successor for these workloads, a "rip and replace" strategy isn’t always viable. You might have complex configurations, customized annotations, or deployment freezes that make a sudden switch risky. There's a lower-risk path: Place HAProxy in front of your existing Ingress NGINX deployment.

Self-Driving Data Highways: Realizing the Strategic Advantages of Autonomous IP Optical Networks at OFC26
In the telecom industry, leaders are under pressure to deliver more—more capacity, more agility, more reliability—while managing rising complexity with fewer resources. The network is the circulatory system of the modern telco, yet it’s still often operated like a patchwork of manual roads, each requiring constant human intervention. This model worked when traffic was predictable and growth was linear.
GPU-as-a-Service: The network's critical role in accelerated computing
The explosion of AI has created a continuous demand for computing power. At the heart of this need sits one critical resource: GPUs. They have become the hardware of choice for AI and machine learning, particularly deep learning workloads that operate on enormous data sets. However, as organisations race to train larger models and deliver faster inference, many are discovering that owning and operating GPU infrastructure isn’t always practical.
