Modern organizations often operate from multiple locations. From retail stores to global enterprises, many companies rely on distributed wired and wireless networks to keep business-critical applications online. Aruba Central provides a centralized, cloud-based platform for managing that infrastructure at scale.

Load balancers are the primary entry points to distributed applications. By strategically directing the flow of incoming web traffic to specific endpoints, load balancers help optimize throughput and ensure the horizontal scalability of applications. In modern systems, load balancers often do more than their name suggests: Beyond basic load distribution, they analyze requests and route traffic based on a wide range of variables, such as client identity.

Today, we announce the release of HAProxy Fusion 2.0. This release marks a generational leap for the authoritative control plane that orchestrates HAProxy Enterprise’s high-performance application delivery and security. With a combination of new headliner features, structural changes, and improvements to the performance of the underlying API, HAProxy Fusion has jumped from version 1.3 to version 2.0.

When it comes to IoT connectivity, it’s no longer enough for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Service Providers (MSPs) to provide coverage, capacity and SIM cards. As enterprises accelerate their digital transformation, the focus has shifted from basic connectivity to seamless, secure and scalable device-to-cloud integration.

In 2016, before Obkio existed, we ran a market audit. We interviewed banks, manufacturing companies, and service providers, and asked them one simple question: Why aren't you using a Network Performance Monitoring solution? The answer was unanimous: the tools were too complex, and nobody had the internal resources to run them full-time. If that was true for enterprises with dedicated networking staff, it was even more true for smaller businesses with generalist IT teams.

With NIS2 and DORA now in effect, EU organizations face a fundamental shift in how they approach security. Compliance is a standard built into every layer of your environment, from your hardware and OS to your software configuration. HAProxy alone doesn't make an organization compliant, yet it serves as a critical technical component of a strong security strategy.

While the race to expand networking infrastructure to support AI applications continues on land, the same expansion is occurring undersea. Subsea cables spanning Earth’s oceans must evolve to keep pace.

As cyberattacks evolve into “machine-speed” disruption campaigns that span cloud, identity, and network planes, traditional monitoring is no longer enough to protect modern enterprise infrastructure. Shifting to a network intelligence model, powered by real-time telemetry and AI-driven reasoning, enables security teams to detect weak signals and automate defenses before an incident becomes systemic.
