During times of economic uncertainty, some companies become extra sensitive to costs, while others look to optimise their spend as they seek out competitive advantage during the downturn. Adopting public cloud services and infrastructure purely as a means of saving costs has long been debunked as a false economy, with many of the savings realised in the form of agility, efficiency, and optimisation, which may at some point turn into revenue gains.

Today’s telecom, cable, and data providers constantly compete to provide the best, most reliable service to customers, while investing in the right technologies to maintain the integrity of data and enable the separation of users. Because of this, service providers often spend countless hours searching for cost-effective, yet future-proof solutions that fit their business needs. This is where DWDM comes in.

A Network Monitoring System (NMS) is an indispensable tool for IT personnel and network administrators to manage, monitor, and fix critical issues that may arise on a sophisticated computer network. It provides clear visibility into the current state of one’s network environment, allowing administrators to take appropriate actions whenever necessary.

Network outages are both common and expensive – usually far more expensive than people realize. Yes, the network is down and the organization is losing money, but do you really appreciate how much money? And how much an outage can actually cost on a per minute basis? It’s not only more than most people think, it’s something that can be mitigated fairly easily.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a strong trend emerging in enterprise network security, representing the long-term capability to integrate and consolidate a variety of networking and cybersecurity tools. Let’s do a quick dive on the technology to understand why it’s necessary. SASE emerged as an outgrowth of the software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) technology movement, which made it easier to configure, orchestrate, and manage WAN connectivity from enterprise branches.

It is impossible to allow communication between computer systems, servers, routers, switches, and other network-enabled devices without following a set of protocols. Without protocols, devices would be unable to understand the electronic signals sent between them via network connections. Every day, billions of individuals utilize network protocols, whether they are aware of it or not. Each time you connect to the internet or make a phone call, you are using network protocols.

Do you want to see what’s really happening in your network? Well, that’s what a Network Audit is for! Identify network issues, prepare for a service deployment or migration, and establish optimization techniques. We’re teaching you how to perform a network audit.
