Level 1 NOC WiFi/LAN/WAN Correlation and Triage

The latest release of Network Management 23.3 from Broadcom, the solution extends assurance to cloud-based Wi-Fi architectures with global correlation to your LAN and WAN infrastructure for a complete view of network health across vendors, protocols and user experiences.

Achieve Optimal Performance with Nginx and Micro-Caching

The word "cache" is used in many different contexts. Typically, a cache is a small chunk of data stored locally for quick access. In this case, it’s about computer caches, i.e., the data stored in memory. Micro-caching is a technique where a programmer uses this cached data to do some quick computations, which can lead to some amazing solutions. In micro caching, dynamically generated content is cached for only a brief period rather than full-page caching.
