In growing organizations, network requests pile up and so does the risk of delays, miscommunication, or misconfigurations. Whether a developer needs a static IP for a staging server or a project team is scaling infrastructure, manual processes don’t scale with you. LightMesh Requestor Workflow gives your users a secure, controlled way to request static IP addresses — without granting access to your entire IP address management (IPAM) platform. Admins stay in control. IT team stays productive.

There’s a certain comfort in the glow of your network operations center (NOC) dashboards. For some time, the sign of a well-run NOC was that sprawling bank of screens, each dedicated to a different domain. One for the WAN, showing link status. Another for the data center, tracking backbone health. A third for cloud consumption, pulling metrics from your provider. Each screen is a neatly bordered kingdom, diligently monitored by its own set of tools. As long as the lights are green, all is well.

We are pleased to announce the general availability of SystemEDGE 6.5. For customers using DX NetOps, SystemEDGE is a key component for gaining a comprehensive view of server infrastructure health.

Adopting a multi-cloud strategy is common for many businesses as it promises flexibility in managing their data. However, this isn’t without complexity especially when it comes to networking. In a recent podcast episode, Trent Blakely and Jay Turner unpacked some of the most frequently missed challenges that come with multi-cloud deployments.

Kentik transforms real-time network telemetry into actionable alerts for AI-optimized data centers. By converting database queries into custom alerts, engineers can detect issues like elephant flows, idle links, and packet loss before performance suffers and triggers alerts in systems like ServiceNow or PagerDuty.

Production AI needs a network that can keep up. Learn why private, scalable connectivity is the key in our webinar recap with Vultr. AI is no longer a proof-of-concept hiding in a developer lab. It’s a full-fledged production workload, and it’s hungry for data. But as enterprises move their AI strategies from theory to reality, they’re hitting a wall that isn’t about algorithms or processing power – it’s about the network.
