Whether you're a business owner or an IT pro, you know that a solid network is the foundation of your organization’s success. And that’s where Network Reliability comes in. Think about it: a key video call with a client, a crucial file transfer right before a deadline, or an online transaction on your e-commerce site. What do they all have in common? They all depend on a network that just works—no glitches, no interruptions.

Getting telemetry data out of modern applications is very straightforward—or at least it should be. You set up a collector that either receives data from your application or asks it to provide an up-to-date state of various counters.

What if every second waiting for the data to be collected is billed?

Every CIO’s ultimate goal is to create a self-healing enterprise. Self-healing IT systems have the ability to proactively prevent issues within the IT environment, ensuring seamless and uninterrupted services that support business continuity.

It's the start of a new year. Like last year, I want to examine what analysts are predicting for the cybersecurity landscape in 2025 and the risks they feel will be front and center. There is no shortage of predictions for this year’s cybersecurity landscape outlook—so many, it's impossible to compile them all. While not a thorough summary of the threats and risks in 2025, this article highlights the most common topics covered by cybersecurity specialists.

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, networks are more complex than ever. With the expansion of multi-cloud environments, 5G rollouts, IoT adoption, and ever-evolving security threats, IT teams are under immense pressure to keep networks running smoothly while ensuring compliance and minimizing downtime. This is where Network Configuration and Change Management (NCCM) comes in to play.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) presents both unprecedented opportunities and emerging threats. Gartner’s Strategic Roadmap for Cybersecurity Leadership emphasizes the need for adaptive strategies that align with business objectives and technological advancements. Concurrently, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has highlighted the dual-edged nature of AI in its report on the impact of AI on cyber threats.

When managing infrastructure and deploying applications in a cloud-native environment, two popular tools that developers often compare are Helm and Terraform. While both are used to automate deployments, they serve different purposes and operate in distinct ways. Understanding the differences can help you make the right choice for your use case.
