Megaport Storage Marks the Next Step Toward Automated Infrastructure at Scale

Built as a globally distributed storage platform integrated directly into the Megaport backbone and co-located with Latitude.sh compute infrastructure, Megaport Storage simplifies how organizations store, move, and access data across distributed environments with a unified infrastructure experience spanning compute, network, and storage. For years, enterprise infrastructure has moved toward abstraction. Compute became elastic. Networks became software-defined.

Automating Device and OS Compliance in Air-Gapped Networks with Agentic AI

For network operations and security teams, maintaining compliance across device hardware and operating systems is a complex and time-consuming task. At any given moment, your network contains thousands of devices from dozens of different vendors. To keep this infrastructure secure, you must constantly know which devices are approaching end-of-life (EOL) milestones, and which platforms are vulnerable to active common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs).

Speed with Confidence: Managing Delivery Risk in an AI-driven Development World

In the modern development landscape, we are seeing a shift in how work is managed. The rise of AI-assisted development and highly distributed teams means that work is moving faster than ever before. However, this increased velocity often comes with a hidden tax: complexity. We are seeing more parallel work streams, more intricate dependencies, and a constant stream of shifting priorities. In this environment, simply moving fast is not enough to guarantee success.

Internet Performance Monitoring: Understand Digital Experience from the User's Perspective

Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) provides end-to-end visibility into what happens between your infrastructure and your users, across networks and services you don’t own or control. The internet is your network now. Your apps live in the cloud, your users are everywhere, and the systems that deliver your applications and services to them use hundreds of providers, ISPs, and networks beyond your control. In practice, that means infrastructure monitoring is the foundation.

Announcing HAProxy 3.4

HAProxy 3.4 is a milestone release that significantly advances HAProxy’s legendary flexibility, performance, security, reliability, and observability. Dynamic backend management simplifies integration with modern architectures, memory efficiency improves across a broader range of workloads, native cryptographic operations at the proxy layer open new possibilities for API security architectures, and OpenTelemetry support makes HAProxy a first-class participant in distributed tracing pipelines.

A New Approach to Mac Patch Management

Managing macOS patching shouldn’t mean juggling tools, chasing failures, or leaving endpoints exposed. In this webinar, N‑able experts share a new approach to Mac patch management that brings visibility, consistency, and control into a single workflow. Join our product and engineering specialists as they walk through how modern patching is evolving beyond isolated updates into a unified endpoint remediation strategy. You’ll see how patching and vulnerability management are being brought closer together, helping you detect risks, prioritise actions, and remediate with confidence.

The Hidden Cost of Network Blind Spots (and How to Fix It)

Even the smallest gaps in infrastructure visibility can lead to major impacts to an enterprise. And with modern IT environments becoming more complex it creates rising expectations for uptime. Our recent webinar, The Hidden Cost of Network Blind Spots and Alert Noise, covered this exact topic. The Progress WhatsUp Gold product experts explored why traditional monitoring falls short and best practices to moving toward smarter, more proactive network management.

Optimizing Server Bandwidth and CDN Routing for High-Performance IPTV Networks

When a stream plays instantly without buffering, most users don't think twice. But behind that smooth playback lies a carefully tuned system of servers, bandwidth layers, and global routing paths working in sync like an invisible orchestra. Modern IPTV platforms such as the best IPTV in Canada depend heavily on this silent engineering layer, where even a small inefficiency can turn a perfect stream into a frustrating experience.
