5G Real-time Analytics: The Last Mile of Automation

5G promises to unlock a broad set of new services across consumer, enterprise, and industrial domains at lower costs and higher velocity. It will accomplish this by adopting cloud-native, fully automated networks with end-to-end traffic engineering. Cloud native functions, DevOps, and slicing enable 5G networks to scale-in/out, support many use cases, and billions of devices, to deliver on the promise. Unfortunately, as network functions, devices, and SLAs explode, the challenge of operational troubleshooting also increases, by orders of magnitude.

Digging Into the Recent Azure Outage

In the early hours of Wednesday, January 25, Microsoft’s public cloud suffered a major outage that disrupted their cloud-based services and popular applications such as Sharepoint, Teams, and Office 365. Microsoft has since blamed the outage on a flawed router command which took down a significant portion of the cloud’s connectivity beginning at 07:09 UTC.

Combination of Flowmon' Anomaly Detection System (Flowmon ADS) to provide early warning about upcoming attacks and Superna's capability of taking proactive snapshot of data is a powerful combo to protect your data before any exfiltration attempt.

Network Observability: A Side-By-Side Comparison of WhatsUp Gold NTA & Flowmon

Imagine starting your car in the morning and having your attention captured by a little red check engine light. After expressing frustration in your own unique way, your next objective is to determine why this little light has brought darkness to your morning. Your owner's manual clearly outlines how to operate and routinely maintain your vehicle, but all you know about this little light is that you’ll soon be meeting your local mechanic.

Best Practices for Enriching Network Telemetry to Support Network Observability

Network observability is critical. You need the ability to answer any question about your network—across clouds, on-prem, edge locations, and user devices—quickly and easily. But network observability is not always easy. To be successful, you need to collect network telemetry, and that telemetry needs to be extensive and diverse. And once you have that raw telemetry data, you need to interpret it.

What Causes Packet Loss: Reasons Why Your Data is Going MIA

Packet loss is a common problem in computer networks that can have a significant impact on network performance and business productivity. When data packets are lost through the network, the data they contain needs to be retransmitted, which can slow down data transfer rates and cause interruptions in real-time applications like video conferencing and voice calls.
