You probably have been hearing a lot about automation and artificial intelligence (AI) these days, with a vision of some kind of AI-driven world that will take all of our jobs away. The reality is that there’s always too much work to do. AI and automation are more likely to help people get their jobs done more efficiently rather than take them away. Basic automation can have large returns for the network – and improve the quality of work.
Network monitoring is a challenging job because networks continue to evolve to meet ever-changing client requirements. Businesses today heavily depend on their networks, and even a short outage can lead to penalties and lost profits. This is why your monitoring tool must also transform itself to not only scale as you grow but offer new features that address new challenges posed by the increasing usage demands placed on your network.
XDP, or eXpress Data Path, is a Linux networking feature that enables you to create high-performance packet-processing programs that run in the kernel. Introduced in Linux 4.8 and built on extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), XDP provides a mechanism to process network packets earlier and faster than is possible through the kernel’s native network stack. In this post, we’ll discuss.
Avid PC gamers know that if you want optimal performance, you have to push your computer to its limits. And if your gaming “rig” is not properly equipped with a large interior fan, your PC can overheat, resulting in more than a few performance issues. It is the same for enterprise-level devices or pieces of hardware: overheating creates problems. One such enterprise-level piece of hardware (and arguably the most crucial piece of equipment) is a server.
