The Department of Defense (DoD) is on a mission to modernize its IT environments, radically changing the nature of its network operations (NetOps) in the department. Network availability and performance keep getting more integral to the DoD’s charter, which means downtime isn’t just troublesome, it’s a life-or-death matter. In this post, we’ll outline how key DoD modernization imperatives are affecting NetOps.

Imagine you're playing a game of chess, but instead of reacting to your opponent's moves, you can see five moves ahead and plan your strategy accordingly.

Mobile monitoring is a complex topic. On one hand, organizations can gather detailed data to help them identify and suggest productivity improvements through alternative or additional apps or processes, without sacrificing security. But on the other hand, monitoring done wrong can reduce employee morale and potentially violate data privacy laws. Exactly how companies should approach mobile app monitoring depends on the business problems they must solve.

In today's digital world, applications are the backbone of many businesses. From web-based software to on-premises applications, they allow organizations to streamline their operations, increase productivity, and improve customer experiences. However, with the growing complexity of applications and the increasing demand for seamless performance, it has become crucial to monitor their performance continuously.

Given the benefits cloud computing offers such as security, flexibility, better collaboration, and data modernization, organizations of all shapes and sizes have started moving their workload to this technology. With so many organizations using workarounds to gain visibility and control of bandwidth consumption, and with cloud computing letting organizations access and manage the information, the amount of data being generated is also increasing.

Managed service providers (MSPs) play a major part in increasing business continuity and enhancing the productivity of the businesses they cater to. Businesses these days rely on MSPs to take on the responsibility of managing their networks, so they need not spend most of their time on network management tasks like keeping track of network devices, troubleshooting network bottlenecks, etc.

With cloud solutions becoming mainstream and hybrid workforces becoming the norm rather than the exception, organizations need to stay nimble and agile for network access that can occur anytime, from anywhere. A thriving organization has a flourishing network that extends its arms globally, yet delivers high speed and performance without any compromise. Hence, organizations rely heavily on their networks for uninterrupted operations.

Port monitoring is a necessary measure to make sure your network is running at an optimized level. For those unfamiliar with New England, many villages and cities began as fishing towns. These communities still do business on the sea, with multiple companies shipping out their products on massive boats. How do these boats gain access to the towns to continue doing business in them?

Welcome to the Great Network Race! You might not have realized it, but every time you connect to the internet, you're a participant in a never-ending competition. The goal?
