How Modern Network Analytics Drive Faster, More Reliable Applications

Your users face sluggish performance and spotty connections daily. Hybrid cloud paths, SaaS platforms, SD-WAN routes, and Wi-Fi networks all contribute to this frustration. Microsoft recently revealed they handled a 2.4 Tbps DDoS attack on Azure, proving how enormous network events quietly erode application quality without causing total blackouts.

Healthcare IT Trends to Know Before 2026

Healthcare technology is evolving at a pace that would’ve seemed impossible just a few years ago. From smart hospitals and connected medical devices to AI-powered diagnostics and remote patient monitoring, digital innovation is shifting how care is delivered and how healthcare IT teams operate. The next wave of healthcare IT trends will push infrastructure, security, and data systems further than ever before.

Actionable Network Device Monitoring with Automated Anomaly Detection and AI Troubleshooting

Network device monitoring is often a mess of polling, graphs, and alerts that don't lead to answers. In this webinar, we'll show how to monitor routers, switches, and firewalls in a way that quickly surfaces what matters: interface health, errors, drops, saturation, latency signals, and performance regressions—without drowning in noise. You'll learn how Netdata turns raw SNMP metrics into high-signal insights using automated anomaly detection and AI-assisted troubleshooting, so your team can move from 'something is wrong' to 'here's the root cause' faster.

Choosing the Right Business Internet Provider for Growth

Your internet connection is the quiet backbone of modern business. Cloud apps, video calls, payment terminals, and security cameras all run on it. When it fails, everything freezes-ITIC found that the average mid-size company loses about $300,000 for every hour offline in 2024. That's why choosing WOW! Business Internet (or a peer provider) is a mission-critical decision, not a utility line item. Use the framework below to align real-world performance and support with how your team works today-and how you plan to grow.

Top Education Technology Trends to Watch Through 2026

The education technology landscape is entering a period of consolidation and integration. Schools are moving past the online learning experimentation phase of recent years and focusing on technologies that deliver measurable improvements in teaching and learning outcomes. For IT professionals managing educational networks, understanding these shifts helps prioritize infrastructure investments and security protocols.

AI Is Bigger Than LLMs: Why Network Teams Need to Think Beyond Chatbots and Agents

AI in network operations is more than chatbots and agents. LLMs make AI easier to use, but the real value comes from the underlying system of telemetry, data pipelines, analytics, ML models, domain knowledge, and workflows that help engineers reason, predict, and act. When designed thoughtfully, AI doesn’t replace engineers. Instead, it augments their expertise and reduces cognitive load across complex network operations.

How to Troubleshoot BGP Faster with Kentik AI Advisor

A BGP session goes down because a transit provider exceeded the maximum prefix limit. How do you find the root cause — fast? In this 10-minute demo, we walk through two approaches using Kentik AI Advisor. First, we troubleshoot step by step using natural language: asking AI Advisor to identify the affected interface, check for interface flapping, and review syslog messages until we find the maximum-prefix violation. Then we show how custom network context and natural language runbooks let AI Advisor do the entire investigation autonomously — following the same four steps a senior engineer would.
