The Benefits of Historical Data for Network Monitoring
Your phone rings. A user is complaining that “the network was slow" or "had issues around 3pm." You run a speed test. Green across the board. No active alerts. Everything looks fine. So what do you tell them? If you don't have a continuous, time-stamped record of what your network was doing at 3pm, you can't tell them anything, not with confidence. You're stuck choosing between "I didn't see anything" and "I'll keep an eye on it," neither of which fixes the problem or satisfies the user.

Debunking the Myth of the Homogeneous Network
If you have been in network operations for more than a week, you know the dream of the single vendor shop is exactly that, just a dream. In the practical reality of your daily job, the network is a diverse, chaotic ecosystem. It is a complex stack in which layers of technology from different times and vendors coexist, often uneasily.
Network Topology: Types, Diagrams, Tools & Enterprise Best Practices
Network topology describes how devices, connections, and data flows are arranged in a network. It is the blueprint of your network infrastructure. Both matter because they affect performance, scalability, and security. A well-designed topology ensures data reaches its destination quickly and reliably. A poor design creates bottlenecks, security gaps, and troubleshooting nightmares.

How to Measure MOS Score for VoIP (Step-by-Step)
Poor voice call quality isn't just annoying, it's a productivity killer. Dropped calls mid-negotiation, garbled audio on client meetings, and one-sided conversations where half the words don't make it through: these aren't random technical glitches. They're symptoms of network performance problems that haven't been identified, measured, or fixed. And when your business runs on VoIP, Microsoft Teams, or any cloud-based communication platform, unmeasured voice quality is a liability.

How to Protect Website Monitoring from Cloud Disruptions
The cloud is often spoken of as a separate realm where data exists safely away from the messy realities of the physical world. But as the events of March 2026 have reminded us, the cloud has a physical home, and that home is susceptible to the same disruptions as any other infrastructure. Here’s how diversified monitoring across independent data centers can keep visibility intact when cloud services go down.

Instead of chasing problems after the fact, you're catching them before users ever notice.
Cloud Migration Statistics for 2026
Cloud adoption has officially crossed a tipping point. In 2026, the conversation is shifting from whether companies are moving to the cloud to how complicated things are getting once they’ve moved. Hybrid architectures, multi-cloud strategies, AI workloads, and rising security pressure are turning “the cloud” into a web of interconnected environments. For IT and network teams, that creates huge opportunity—and plenty of room for chaos if visibility doesn’t keep pace.
Network Documentation: Excel vs. DCIM Software
Spreadsheets and Visio diagrams may work in small, static environments, but they cannot maintain accurate, real-time records at the port level, track relationships between assets, or support the pace of change in modern operations.

Expanding Uptime Monitoring Down The Stack: ICMP Monitors Are Now Available In Checkly
When we started building Checkly's uptime monitoring suite, the goal was to give engineering teams complete visibility across every layer of their stack, from application down to network, in one place. URL, TCP, DNS, and Heartbeat monitors covered a lot of that ground. But one fundamental piece was missing: the ability to simply ping a host and know if it's reachable.
Why You Should Automate Network Troubleshooting
It's 2 AM. The Network Is Down. Where Do You Start? You get the call. Users can't connect. VoIP is choppy. Something is broken somewhere between your office and the cloud. You open your monitoring dashboard and it says something is wrong, but not where. Not why. Not since when? So you do what IT teams have done for decades. You open a terminal, run a traceroute, SSH into the router, pull up SNMP, check the firewall logs.
