7 Best Network Sniffing Tools for 2026

Oct 8, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
Ever wondered what is actually using your network when it suddenly slows down? It could be a device sending too much data, a backup running at the wrong time, or an application taking too long to respond. Without visibility into network traffic, finding the real cause can take hours. That’s where network sniffing tools can help. They let you inspect network traffic, capture packets, and see what is happening between devices, servers, and applications.

Capacity Planning Under Constraints: An Off-Grid Analogy for Edge Deployments

Capacity Planning Under Constraints: An Off-Grid Analogy for Edge Deployments

Oct 8, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
When laptops, mobile hotspots, lighting, portable power stations, and other electronics all need to operate at an off-grid campsite, the question is no longer simply how many devices were packed. It is how much workload a limited pool of resources can support. From a capacity-planning perspective, this makes an off-grid campsite a useful analogy for an edge deployment: power is limited, connectivity is unreliable, physical space is constrained, and every component has to be deployed again on arrival.

How Modern Firewalls Help Businesses Strengthen Network Security

How Modern Firewalls Help Businesses Strengthen Network Security

Oct 8, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
As business networks become more complex, the methods used to attack them are evolving as well. Organisations now need to protect cloud services, remote workers, connected devices, internal applications, and large volumes of data, often across multiple locations. Traditional perimeter security alone is no longer sufficient to address this environment.

Air-Gapped vs Private Network Backup: Which Is More Secure?

Oct 7, 2026 By Megaport In Megaport
Compare air-gapped and private network backup approaches for ransomware defense, data protection, and secure recovery. Ransomware doesn’t stop at production data. Attackers are increasingly targeting the backups organizations depend on for recovery, turning a manageable incident into a much longer outage. These attacks make the choice between air-gapped and private network backup important — but it isn’t an either-or decision.

File, object, or block storage: what's the difference?

Oct 5, 2026 By Megaport In Megaport
Choosing where your data lives is only half the question. How it's stored matters too. File, object, and block storage are each built for a different job. File storage uses the hierarchy you already know. Files live inside folders, and those folders can live inside other folders. Object storage gets rid of that hierarchy. Each piece of data is stored as its own object, which makes it easy to scale.

Building Production-ready AI Infrastructure? Start With the Network

Oct 2, 2026 By Kevin Dresser In Megaport
AI workloads depend on fast, secure, and scalable access to data across on-premises systems, colocation, cloud platforms, and GPU environments. Here’s how private connectivity can help enterprises move from AI proof of concept to production-ready infrastructure. AI pilots tend to be forgiving. Production isn’t. In the early stages, a team can usually get by with a simple path into a GPU environment, enough bandwidth to test an idea, and a security model that suits a limited group of users.

Megaport Advanced Services: From Network Design to Deployment

Oct 1, 2026 By Megaport In Megaport
Network changes often stall after the design is done. See how Megaport Advanced Services helps teams move from planning to implementation and support. Ask a network team where their last big network change got stuck and you’ll rarely hear “we couldn’t work out the design.” The completed design is usually sitting in a document somewhere, reviewed and signed off. What stalls is everything needed after that. Somebody has to write the runbook. Somebody has to sit in the 2 a.m.

How to Fix Intermittent Internet Issues: Is It Your Network or Your ISP?

Oct 1, 2026 By Alyssa Lamberti In Obkio
Your Internet circuit is up. The firewall shows the WAN link as connected, your ISP's status page is green, and a speed test comes back at full provisioned bandwidth. Meanwhile, Teams calls at one branch break up for ten minutes every afternoon, and every user at that site sees Salesforce slow to a crawl at the same moment. Then everything recovers before anyone can capture it.
