We’re excited to announce the release of HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller 3.1! This release introduces expanded support for TCP custom resource definitions (CRDs), runtime improvements, and parallelization when writing maps.

In this article, we’ll break down our video, brought to you by Obkio's network pros, where we show you how to use Obkio’s Network Performance Monitoring tool to troubleshoot an Internet issue on the Internet Service Provider’s end. Internet issues can be frustrating, especially when they disrupt your business operations or daily activities. Often, these problems originate from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), making it crucial to identify and resolve them quickly.

TCP monitoring works behind the scenes, ensuring smooth data transfers and reliable communication between devices. Without it, troubleshooting slow connections or dropped packets becomes a guessing game. In this blog, we’ll break down why TCP monitoring is crucial, how it works, and some key insights to help optimize your network performance and speed up troubleshooting.

As organizations modernize their IT infrastructure with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), ensuring seamless workload and application mobility becomes critical. One often overlooked yet critical factor in this transformation is the quality of the networks connecting data centers and cloud environments. This is especially challenging in environments dependent on internet service providers (ISPs) and other external networks, where internal network operations teams have limited control over network behavior.

The health of a network is critical to the success of a modern organization. Network administrators monitor how their systems operate efficiently and without interruption. One of the most effective tools in their arsenal is Network Traffic Analysis.

From 2010 to 2017, MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) was the go-to solution for enterprise networks. It offered reliability, security, and performance that businesses relied on for their critical operations. Since then, many organizations have moved to SD-WAN, attracted by its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. However, MPLS is far from obsolete.

Defending against the current and evolving threat landscape requires a multi-layered defense strategy. A robust, understandable and easy-to-use Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution is a core component of such a defense strategy.

According to a study by IBM, organizations, on average, take more than 190 days to identify a data breach and an additional 60 or more days to remediate the issue. The financial implications of such an event, including mitigation and remediation, run into millions and can pose a serious risk to business continuity. However, organizations can effectively handle these scenarios with the help of robust security solutions and well-defined processes.
