Auvik Brings Multi-Vendor Network Intelligence to AI Agents in Cisco Cloud Control

Modern IT infrastructure is messy, spanning multiple vendors, cloud platforms, and on-premises systems, with critical data spread across separate tools. This patchwork makes troubleshooting harder for IT teams and AI agents alike, forcing them to piece together operational context from different domains and interfaces before they can act with a complete understanding of the environment. But what if AI agents could pull operational data from across your diverse IT environment and correlate it for you?

Optimizing Server Bandwidth and CDN Routing for High-Performance IPTV Networks

When a stream plays instantly without buffering, most users don't think twice. But behind that smooth playback lies a carefully tuned system of servers, bandwidth layers, and global routing paths working in sync like an invisible orchestra. Modern IPTV platforms such as the best IPTV in Canada depend heavily on this silent engineering layer, where even a small inefficiency can turn a perfect stream into a frustrating experience.

Shifting Streams and AI Surges: What Our Data Reveals About the OTT Landscape

OTT data from early 2026 shows streaming hierarchies holding steady while AI platforms reshuffled rapidly. Claude has substantially increased traffic since January, overtaking Gemini, and is on pace to challenge ChatGPT by fall. Doug Madory digs into the data in this new analysis.
