By now, most organizations have realized the benefits of moving some, most, or all of their business applications to the cloud. The cloud typically offers better security and performance, at a lower price, than housing resources on-premises. You may have helped them in that migration or you may have been hired after it was complete. Either way, a client with cloud hosting has different network requirements than one whose infrastructure is primarily on-premises.

Learn how private connectivity, regional hubs, and AI-driven automation are defining the next evolution of enterprise networking in 2026. 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for networking. We’re moving past the ideas of being simply connected – now, networks are becoming intelligent. As we see our customers lean into AI, multicloud, and automation in every corner of their operations, the way they connect everything is changing just as fast.

At KubeCon, we asked a simple question at our booth: "How much is your service mesh costing you?" The answers were eye-opening. Engineers shared stories of 40% resource overhead, multi-second latency spikes during peak traffic, and infrastructure bills that had nearly doubled since mesh adoption. One architect told us they were spending more time managing their mesh than building features.

Information dominance has become key to battlefield success. The evolution from Network-Centric Warfare to Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) and JADC2 is all about connecting drones, sensors, weapon-systems and decision-makers, across land, air, sea, cyber, and space… in real time. Read about the journey, principles and building blocks, and how Ribbon Communications’ solutions are in the middle of it.

Remote network monitoring is the process of monitoring and managing network resources and activity from a remote location using software and tools that allow network administrators to monitor network performance, troubleshoot problems, and ensure that the network is secure and operating efficiently.

One of the most anticipated presentations at HAProxyConf 2025 came from gaming and user-generated content (UGC) innovators Roblox. Software Engineer Chris Jones and Senior Site Reliability Engineer Ben Meidel gave an enthusiastic and enjoyable presentation, detailing their journey from legacy hardware to a sophisticated, automated, and secure application delivery platform, with seamless, API-powered dynamic configuration and upgrades, supported by the HAProxy Enterprise Dynamic Update Module.

Learn what IPsec is, how it works, key protocols and VPN types, and how to combine IPsec with NaaS for secure, scalable network connectivity.

Your network is not a static entity. It is a living system that has been running for years, absorbing countless changes. While your infrastructure may appear healthy on the surface, a slow and silent saboteur is often at work, methodically undermining your infrastructure from within. This is not the work of a malicious actor. It’s the inevitable result of a process you may not even be tracking: configuration drift.

Log management and Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are closely related but offer different layers of visibility. Rather than overlapping, they complement each other, together providing a connected view of what’s happening in your environment. How exactly? Let’s take a closer look.
