What is Backup and Disaster Recovery? A Complete Guide

Learn what backup and disaster recovery means, how BDR works, and why it matters for reducing downtime and data loss. Backup and disaster recovery (BDR) is what keeps data loss from becoming a business-wide catastrophe. And to protect their business, IT teams need to ask if they can recover the right data, in the right order, fast enough for the business to keep operating. A backup can preserve a copy of a file, database, or workload, but disaster recovery is what brings the wider service back online.

SAP HANA Monitoring Tools 2026: How to Compare Options and Simplify Monitoring

If your team works with SAP HANA, the main challenge usually isn’t finding another dashboard. The real difficulty is identifying which tool can quickly help you trace vague complaints about slow transactions to their root cause. In many setups, SAP HANA monitoring is divided among native SAP interfaces, cloud monitoring, infrastructure dashboards, and the broader monitoring systems used by the rest of IT. This fragmented approach can slow down root cause analysis.

Why Connectivity Is the Next Growth Opportunity for Managed Service Providers

Learn how NaaS helps MSPs add connectivity services and respond faster to customers without building a global network. For many Managed Service Providers (MSPs), connectivity is still the part of a customer solution they control the least. An MSP may manage the cloud environment and secure access to it, but adding a circuit can still mean carrier lead times and manual coordination. Options may also narrow when the customer enters a new market. This reality doesn’t match with customer expectations.

For whoever has to explain the cloud bill to finance every month.

As infrastructure gets more complex, with workloads spread across clouds, regions, and providers, every hop your data takes between them adds up. Where do these costs actually come from? Has your team ever traced a surprise bill back to data movement? With Megaport, cloud egress costs are minimized by routing data privately between providers, avoiding the higher transfer rates associated with public internet routing.

How to Break Into Network Engineering With Network+ and No Prior Experience

Breaking into network engineering can feel difficult when every job posting seems to ask for experience you do not have yet. But experience does not always have to start with a full-time networking role. Certifications, hands-on labs, personal projects, and entry-level IT work can all help you build the foundation employers expect.

AI in the public sector (infrastructure challenges and solutions)

The U.S. government has cataloged over 1,700 active AI use cases, and nearly 90% of federal agencies are already using or planning to use AI. The European Commission has disclosed nearly 1,500 AI use cases across EU member states. With over 3,200 combined AI use cases cataloged across the US and EU, public sector IT leaders face an identical roadblock: traditional application delivery controllers were not designed to parse or throttle Layer 7 LLM payloads, leading to backend GPU exhaustion.

What is Network Visibility and How do you Achieve It?

What happens when the segment that failed was never reporting to anything? The incident stops being a diagnosis and turns into a search, and the cost of that search lands on the business rather than on the network team. Network visibility measures how much of your environment can account for itself under pressure. Most teams assume their coverage is broadly complete because their monitoring platform reports thousands of healthy objects.
