  Introduction In today's digitally-driven era, monitoring bandwidth consumption is vital for companies to optimize their network resources. For corporations with multiple sites, it's particularly essential to understand which applications are consuming the most bandwidth both at the site level and across the corporation. Task at Hand: We're presented with a dataset named dataset_2_apps.csv , which contains daily application bandwidth consumption across different sites of the ACME Corporation. The objective is twofold: a. Determine the top 10 bandwidth-consuming applications across the ACME Corporation. b. Display the top 5 most bandwidth-consuming applications for each site. Now, let's look at a Python-based solution that not only addresses this task effectively but also encapsulates the logic within a class, showcasing the power and organization provided by Python's object-oriented paradigm. Understanding Python Classes: A Brief Primer At its core, a class in Pyth...

  Introduction In the fast-evolving world of digital transformation, cloud technologies have emerged as the cornerstone for businesses seeking agility, scalability, and global reach. However, navigating the complexities of multi-cloud environments while ensuring a seamless and secure application experience remains a significant challenge. In this blog, we will delve deeper into how Prosimo AXI (Application eXperience Infrastructure) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) are redefining cloud application delivery and revolutionizing the way modern businesses thrive in the digital era. The Challenge: Diverse Applications and Multi-Cloud Complexity In the modern enterprise landscape, a diverse array of applications coexists, from traditional legacy systems to innovative microservices-based architectures. This diversity demands a unified approach to maintain consistent application experiences while adhering to stringent security and compliance measures. As enterprises embrace multi-cloud...

Redefining Networking in the Age of Cloud Paradigms The march of technology has always been relentless, reshaping landscapes and redefining paradigms. This statement has never been truer than in the realm of enterprise IT. The swift evolution towards cloud-centric platforms has brought with it not only an expansion of opportunities but also a bevy of challenges. At the heart of this transformative shift lies the intricate weave of networks that anchor every component, every service, and every application together. And while Layer 3 (L3) networks have traditionally held the mantle as the gold standard for ensuring connectivity, it's prudent to question if they remain fit for purpose in our increasingly multifaceted cloud ecosystems. To appreciate the nuances, it's essential to first grasp the essence of L3 networks. Their design hinges on the foundational principle of routing data packets based on IP addresses. This approach is stark in its simplicity, and therein lies both its ...

Introduction   In the intricate landscape of network management, two technologies often stand out for their unique capabilities and distinct roles - Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and Reverse Proxy. While they both play crucial parts in maintaining and enhancing network performance, they each offer a different set of features that cater to varied needs within an IT infrastructure. In this blog, we will delve into the technical subtleties of DPI and Reverse Proxy, weighing their benefits against their potential challenges.     1.       The Power of Deep Packet Inspection: Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), a packet filtering technology that operates in real-time, is a formidable tool in the domain of network management. It thoroughly inspects both the data and the header of each packet passing through an inspection point, allowing for unmatched visibility into network traffic and robust security measures. Advantages: Granular Control: DPI's ability to enf...

                                        Cloud Networking Challenges   If you think about cloud networking challenges these groupings can start making sense to you:   Operating at Cloud Speed  - the biggest reason enterprises move to the cloud is the ability to deploy applications with greater speed and agility.  Increasing MTTR  - Here we are defining Day-1 Operations as the work involved for managing the lifecycle of the infrastructure carrying the apps, and the troubleshooting efforts needed to lower the MTTR and meet SLAs. Increasing Cloud Costs  - As an Enterprise increases its cloud footprint, the operational costs add up. With an ever-growing gap in cloud skills, taking a DIY approach to add more headcount exacerbates the problem. Poor Reliability of Network & Apps  - Enterprises are increasingly loo...
