MPLS traffic, SD-Branch and 5G connectivity
For nearly three decades, connecting a branch office to the corporate network meant one thing: ordering an MPLS circuit. It was the reliable, predictable choice. The private toll motorway of enterprise traffic, where every packet travelled in a guaranteed lane. However, the question businesses ask themselves today is not whether they should still use that motorway,...

The importance of sequencing power domains in electronics
There is a clear trend in the electronics industry for integration, allowing for more compact and efficient designs. More and more, electronics manufacturers are making their chips smaller, including more components within their chips and extending the feature range....
Switches: Stacking/grouping/virtualization techniques
This blog post is the first in a series in which we will analyze the most notable technologies that we should take into account when selecting switches. Its aim is not to give a comprehensive description or follow any “didactic” order. One of the main characteristics...
The Cybersecurity Revolution: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Action
In the ever-changing and challenging cybersecurity scenario, one trend has emerged as a catalyst for change: the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). These technologies are playing a pivotal role in fighting cyber threats, helping...
Improving device reliability and redundancy
In a previous article we looked at how to mathematically calculate the reliability of electronic equipment. That is, the probability of it working correctly for a given period of time. This is best characterised by the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), or its...
