When it comes to IT services, business value and user satisfaction are both dependent upon the server, network, and applications all working together seamlessly. Failure to adequately monitor each of these and their interactions, means that you could be flying blind – susceptible to degraded service levels. While application and network monitoring receive a lot of the attention, it is important to also understand what’s going on with the server. Virtualization changes the face of service deliver...

SDN - A Promising Approach for Next Generation Networks Recently, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has become a very popular term in the area of communication networks. The key idea of SDN is to introduce a separation of the control plane and the data plane of a communication network. The control plane is removed from the normal network elements into typically centralized control components. The normal elements can be replaced by simpler and therefore cheaper off-the-shelf devices that are only...

Akamai recently released its fourth quarter 2014 State of the Internet report. Among the findings: In terms of network security, high tech and public sector targets saw increased numbers of attacks from 2013 to 2014, while enterprise targets had fewer attacks over the course of the year – except Q4, whe...

Imagine a world without cloud computing. For some of you reading this blog it’s easy to imagine as only a few decades ago this was a reality. This was a time where smoking in your office was the norm, you typed all of your documents on the type writer, and calling the landline telephone wasn’t considered strange. The work time to complete a task back then compared to now was almost double if not tripled. Fast forward a couple of years later to the mid 80’s and the internet was born, starting the...
