Bridging Bedrock Skills with AI: A Conversation with Jeremy Bradberry

What happens when decades of operational experience meet modern AI-driven networking? In the latest episode of Next-Gen Network Heroes, Bob Slevin sits down with Jeremy Bradberry, Senior Network Engineer at Delaware North, to explore how network engineers can modernize infrastructure without losing sight of the operational realities behind the technology. Jeremy shares lessons learned from working on legacy manufacturing systems, how AI is helping engineers analyze data and automate workflows faster than ever before, and why strong standards still matter in today’s AI era.

Game On: What Retro Gaming Teaches Us About Modern Networks with Jeremy Bradberry

What can decades of hands-on operational experience teach us about the future of AI-driven networking? In this episode of Next-Gen Network Heroes, host Bob Slevin sits down with Jeremy Bradberry, Senior Network Engineer at Delaware North, for a conversation that spans everything from legacy manufacturing systems and mainframes to modern AI-assisted network operations. Jeremy shares how his early career working in industrial environments shaped the way he approaches networking today, giving him what he calls an “X-ray vision” into how technology connects directly to business operations.

Hybrid Cloud Monitoring Explained: On-Prem + Cloud + Kubernetes in One View

Understand what hybrid cloud monitoring is and why it’s critical for managing modern distributed IT environments. Hybrid cloud monitoring helps organizations unify visibility across on-prem infrastructure, public cloud platforms, virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes clusters in a single monitoring platform. In this video, learn how fragmented monitoring tools create operational blind spots and slow down incident response across hybrid environments.

What's Next for WhatsUp Gold: Unified Network Visibility and Security

In this session, we’ll walk through the Progress WhatsUp Gold roadmap - linking recent releases and what’s next - to show how the platform is growing toward greater visibility, stronger security, and more consistent operational workflows for hybrid, multi‑site, and security‑focused environments.

Data sovereignty is an opportunity for regional growth

Data sovereignty wasn’t a major topic just a few years ago and now it’s becoming a major economic opportunity for regions across the UK. In this clip from Perspectives from the Edge, Katie Gallagher OBE from Manchester Digital discusses why the conversation around data sovereignty has shifted, and how the rise of AI is accelerating demand for trusted regional digital infrastructure. As organisations rethink where data is stored, processed and governed, regions like Manchester are increasingly well placed to benefit through investment, innovation and digital skills growth.

Episode 31: Who really governs artificial intelligence? ft. Luqman Kondeth

In Episode 31 of Server Room, we sit down with Luqman Kondeth, AI Governance & Cybersecurity Strategist and Director at NYU, for a conversation that goes far beyond technology. From personal growth and global experiences to AI governance, cybersecurity, and leadership, this episode explores how mindset shapes the way we build careers, communities, and the future of technology itself. In this episode, we discuss.

OpenTelemetry Monitoring with Netdata

If you've standardized on OpenTelemetry (or you're heading that way), you probably know the collector gets your data out, but where it lands and how useful it is once it gets there are separate problems. Netdata now ingests both OTLP metrics and OTLP logs natively, so your OTel pipelines feed directly into the same monitoring experience as everything else in your infrastructure: same dashboards, same alerting, same query interface. No separate backends, no context switching.

Future Solving with Brian Evergreen (Or: How to Escape those AI Career Jitters)

Brian Evergreen joins the show to challenge the fear-driven narrative around AI and work. Rather than treating the future as something coming for us, Brian argues that leaders and individuals should decide what future they want to create, then work backwards. He explores why “start with the problem” thinking limits AI strategy, how visible strategy and relational leadership can unlock better transformation, and why human connection may become more valuable—not less—in an AI-enabled world. A thoughtful conversation on escaping AI career anxiety, building resilient networks, and creating value beyond efficiency.
