Maintaining Network Performance as Data Centers Scale to 100G and 400G The transition from 10G and 40G infrastructure to 100G and 400G data center networks is no longer aspirational—it is operational reality. Driven by cloud-native workloads, AI/ML clusters, east-west traffic growth, and storage replication demands, high-speed architectures are becoming the baseline. However, scaling bandwidth does not automatically guarantee performance. As link speeds increase, visibility gaps widen, pac

Modern networks generate enormous volumes of traffic. In high-performance data centers running EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, cloud-native workloads, and 100G/400G spine-leaf architectures, the network is continuously producing data that reflects application behavior, security posture, and operational health. But raw traffic alone does not create value. Without structure, filtering, and orchestration, network data overwhelms tools, increases costs, and leaves teams reacting instead of operating strategical

From Blind Spots to Control: Gaining Complete Network Visibility with PacketMaestro Modern data centers are faster, denser, and more dynamic than ever. With 100G and 400G fabrics, EVPN-VXLAN overlays, virtualized workloads, and encrypted east–west traffic, the network has become both mission-critical and increasingly opaque. For many organizations, this results in operational blind spots: Security tools receive incomplete or oversubscribed traffic Performance issues are detected too late

Modern data centers have evolved far beyond static, predictable environments. Today’s infrastructures are highly dynamic, software-defined, and built to support cloud-native applications, AI workloads, 5G traffic, and massive east–west data flows. While performance expectations continue to rise, operational complexity has increased just as rapidly. In this context, network visibility is no longer optional—it is foundational. Without deep, real-time insight into network traffic

As Canadian data centers, financial institutions, and 5G networks scale, one requirement has moved from the server room to the boardroom: Trusted Time. Accurate, secure, and resilient timing is no longer a background IT function—it is critical national infrastructure. From regulatory compliance and cybersecurity to 5G performance, modern digital systems depend on nanosecond-level precision. Microchip provides the global technology foundation for trusted time, while E.C.I. NE
