How to Debug, Update & Monitor Embedded Android Devices

Even when you think there are no bugs in your fleet of Android OS devices, huge issues can come up at any time. How do you find and fix those issues before your customers notice them? With full device observability, you'll never have to worry about even the most high-impact bugs affecting your IoT devices in development or production.

Catchpoint Ushers In A New Era Of Visibility With The Addition Of 5G Mobile Edge Nodes

From its inception, Catchpoint has been a pioneer in terms of observability and its ability to deep scan infrastructures and protocols that bind the Internet. Our industry-leading observers gather in-depth data, providing the broadest coverage across wireless, cloud, backbone, and last mile networks. That data arms people across the enterprise with the information they need to provide a superior digital experience.

Check System Health on the Go with Splunk Observability Cloud For Mobile

With the demand to meet service level agreements (SLAs), any on-call SRE can tell you that incidents always happen at the wrong time. Things break when you least expect them to (on a date, about to beat a new level in a video game, pizza delivery just arrived, asleep at 3am). During these inopportune moments, you want to make sure it's easy to get the data you need, no matter which device is nearby.

Is Kubernetes the answer to the challenges in Multi-access Edge Computing - or is there more to this equation?

The market for Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is pegged at $4.25 billion in 2025. The reasons are many – from the recent surge in AR/VR gaming, to a growing preference for video calling and Ultra-High-Definition, and of course, the Internet of Things (IoT) that spawn SmartX applications, including cities, manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics. The majority of MEC opportunity is both driving and driven by 5G, and the two will grow hand-in-hand in the days to come.

Announcing the General Availability of Splunk Mobile RUM for Native Mobile Apps

As the world increasingly works, buys, and communicates through native mobile apps. In 2020 there were 218 billion new app installs globally, 13.4 billion from the US alone. The challenge, while iOS and Android applications make up significant portions of user traffic and business, engineering teams and monitoring tools are split between mobile app and backend developers; this creates siloed visibility on how changes to the app or backend components impact each other, and end user experience.

Building out the Open RAN ecosystem for end-to-end cloud structure deployments at scale

Connectivity is often a key priority for operators today. But in the race towards better connectivity, they tend to forget that there’s a tremendous amount of money in the services that run over top (OTT). In a world that’s rapidly moving towards #5G, service impact should be as big a priority as connectivity. #5G E2E is up and running already, and early adopters of open solutions and #cloudnative are winning in the market. Operators need to learn how to develop specifically for OTT services so they can monetize them faster. Waiting won’t help!

Demystifying the complexity of cloud-native 5G network functions deployment using Robin CNP

Some of the key requirements as operators deploy #telecom data centers include managing their NFs in a cloud-native world to achieve low-latency and high throughput for #5G applications, meeting scalability targets, achieving bare-metal performance without virtualization overheads, and so on. Robin’s #CloudNative Platform solves various challenges associated with #5G CNF deployments, along with delivering the convenience of zero touch automation, multi-cloud portability, and hyperscale orchestration.

Designing Open RAN Platforms

As the industry moves into the next phases of the 5G rollout, operators face the need to deliver a greater number of new services, with increased speed, lower latency and strict Quality of Service (QoS), at higher speeds and over more endpoints than ever before. This is the lynchpin for delivering higher quality, more profitable services. Among the many advantages, 5G's inherent virtualization and cloud-native frameworks set the stage for not only hardware-software disaggregation, but also the disaggregation of vendors, promoting best-of-breed Open RAN (O-RAN).

Designing Modern 5G and 4G Core Platforms

As the industry moves to the next phases of the 5G rollout, operators face the need to deliver a greater number of new services, with increased speed, lower latency and strict Quality of Service (QoS), over more endpoints than ever before. Many begin by deploying 5G radio services connected to a 4G Evolved Packet Core (EPC), known as non-standalone (NSA). While NSA can enable higher speed of services, the EPC is not capable of enabling 5G core's (5GC) rich feature set, including QoS-enabled network slices.

Quick Demo: Android 12 Anti-Phishing Protection

This month is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and at Ivanti we want you to be #BeCyberSmart. We’re focusing on this week’s theme of phishing. In this short video, James Saturnio, Senior Lead Technical Market Advisor at Ivanti, shows the power of Ivanti’s Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) multiple-layered anti-phishing protection to block 10 random phishing URLs from the OpenPhish feed.

Debug iOS crashes efficiently with Datadog RUM

Unsurprisingly, application crashes due to fatal errors can be a major pain point for iOS users. Recent research shows that roughly 20 percent of mobile application uninstalls were due to crashes or other code errors. As a developer, it’s paramount to manage this potential churn by capturing comprehensive crash data in order to track, triage, and debug recurring issues in your iOS apps.

Ivanti Delivers Day-Zero Compatibility and Key Feature Support for Android 12

Here at Ivanti, we are excited about Android 12. I’m pleased to share that we offer day-zero compatibility and key feature support across the Ivanti product portfolio for the new features built into Google’s updated OSs. Android 12 brings plenty of new things to see and experience with a combination of security and privacy.

High Performance Kubernetes Platform For Stateful Workloads

Enterprises need high-performance storage for their stateful applications. Their needs vary from running Relational and NoSQL Databases to Big Data to AI/ML workloads. They want near bare metal like performance along with scale. In this white paper, we compare Robin Platform with open source GlusterFS and our analysis show that Robin platform provides near bare-metal performance and could scale well to meet the needs of Big Data and AI/ML applications.

Application Aware Storage For GKE and OpenShift

As more and more enterprises move to Kubernetes for their cloud-native needs, they are looking for high-performance storage options for their stateful and data-intensive workloads. Beyond a seamless workflow to provision storage, they are also looking for complete data lifecycle management features as a part of their storage platform. Robin Storage is a perfect candidate for this need. With their application awareness, high performance and scale, Robin Storage is well suited to meet enterprise cloud-native storage needs.
