Observabili-Mystery Solved: From Clues to Answers in 3, 2, 1...
Observability doesn’t have to be a mystery. Join SolarWinds Tech Evangelist Chrystal Taylor and THWACK MVP Jez Marsh, Owner of Silver Back Systems, as they crack the code on turning noisy data into actionable insights. Part of the THWACKcamp lineup from SolarWinds Day, in this session you’ll learn how to analyze raw logs and metrics to uncover trends, catch issues early, and make smarter, faster decisions. Discover practical techniques for linking cloud and on-premises data, reducing false alerts, and automating repetitive tasks with tools like Custom Properties.
Cisco & Auvik: Total Visibility and Control for Your Network with Auvik
Managing modern networks is complicated, and it’s easy for critical Cisco gear to quietly hit End-of-Sale (EOS) or Last Date of Support (LDOS) without anyone noticing. That can open the door to serious risks, technical debt, and compliance issues. Manual tracking and scattered tools just can’t keep up anymore. Watch this video to see how to stay ahead: Save Money and Reduce Headaches: Lower costs and tackle technical debt with smarter lifecycle management for your Cisco hardware.
The Hidden Bottlenecks in AI Infrastructure (and How to Fix Them)
Artificial intelligence has entered an era where infrastructure is the real moat. Teams spend millions on GPUs, yet models still stall, latency spikes unpredictably, and throughput flatlines at 20% of what spec sheets promise. These hidden bottlenecks lurk far beneath the surface - in power grids, network fabrics, memory bandwidth, orchestration layers, and even governance policies. In this guide, we uncover where AI infrastructure actually breaks, what the emerging data and research reveal, and how Clarifai's reasoning and orchestration stack helps eliminate these unseen friction points.
VoIP Jitter Survival Guide: How to Diagnose, Monitor & Troubleshoot
VoIP jitter is the variation in packet arrival time during voice calls, measured in milliseconds. When voice packets travel across your network at inconsistent intervals; some arriving faster, others slower—you experience jitter. Acceptable jitter for VoIP is 30 milliseconds or less. Above this threshold, you'll notice choppy audio, robotic voices, delays, and call drops that disrupt business communication.

Untangling the last mile: What's really holding back connectivity at the edge?
As bandwidth demands surge and applications move ever closer to the user, the crucial last mile link between networks and end users has become an obstacle for performance, reliability and flexibility.
Announcing HAProxy Unified Gateway (beta)
The continuous shift toward containerization means businesses are migrating more complex, mission-critical workloads to Kubernetes. This trend necessitates traffic management solutions that support diverse protocols (such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, and gRPC) and sophisticated organizational architectures, while delivering exceptional performance and efficiency.
AFK: The Only Status You Need When AFW - SolarWinds TechPod 103
What does real work-life balance look like in tech? In this honest and funny conversation, Sean Sebring and Chrystal Taylor share stories from their sabbaticals, burnout moments, and how they learned to unplug — for real this time. Topics we get into: Why burnout hits tech pros harder than most The art of saying “no” and setting healthy boundaries How to stop chasing “perfect” and embrace good enough Why taking time off sets a better example for your team Reframing success: from “always on” to sustainably productive.
