Technology software is rapidly growing and is facilitating cost reduction among many operations, adjusting a deep focus on the potential of analytics and machine learning. Analytics and machine learning’s ability to control, examine and manage software networks has directed a shift towards cognitive networks. The expectation of technology performance is rapidly growing among applications including […]
The future of the network: 5G, Fiber Optics & Edge Computing A digital network is, in layman’s terms, a transportation system for information. Imagine the system to be a factory floor conveyor belt. In this scenario, edge computing processes are ‘stations’ placed as far out as possible on the belt to make it faster […]
One of the most exciting selling points of 5G is the release of congestion currently experienced on the 4G network. Add to that unparalleled internet speeds and data transfers, the new mobile internet technology is beaming with potential waiting to be scaled. Anyone on the 4G network can attest to the congestion with untimely pauses […]
400 gigabit ethernet is quite self-explanatory in the fact that it is an ethernet connection which operates four times faster than 100G. The name ‘400GbE’ stands for the next capacity rate in Ethernet interfaces. 400 GbE is advancing the optical network landscape, pushing network providers to adopt the new addition in order to stay ahead. […]
Submarine cabling is not a new concept, in fact, it was first implemented in 1858, connecting Newfoundland and Ireland through a telegraph cable that was placed deep beneath the sea’s surface. Whilst this was revolutionary at the time, the first non-test message that was sent was a 509-letter message that took 17 hours and 40 […]
The UK government has recently permitted the use of Huawei technology in the nation’s mobile networks (albeit, the radio access network or “non-core”). Without getting caught up in a debate about security, we should focus on what this signifies to the industry; that the UK is serious about 5G, and does not want to limit […]
Doug Roberts from VIAVI reveals how help desk support teams can address bigger challenges as network tech evolves. There’s no doubt about it – today’s workers have fully embraced the trend toward remote working. In fact, according to last year’s Gallup “State of the American Workplace” survey, roughly 43 percent of employees report they have worked […]
Networks are converging at an unprecedented pace – a fact which is widely known and accepted in today’s hyper-growth and incredibly competitive global business environments. On top of that, every network flavor (fixed, wireless, cloud, enterprise…) must manage according to insanely accelerated cycles for updates, improvements, and advancements in their networks to support that complexity. […]
Many network administrators still manage networks within their local data centers, but they’re increasingly troubleshooting in the cloud as businesses deploy more cloud workloads. According to RightScale’s latest “State of the Cloud” survey, 85 percent of enterprises have a multi-cloud strategy. Businesses run an average of 41 percent of workloads in public clouds and 38 […]
With intellectual property, customer data, trade secrets, employee information, and more traversing the network, IT teams need to be aware of the latest network trends – and how to monitor them. One of the most important assets to an enterprise is the network. If the network is not directly responsible for revenue, why even have […]
