Nextlink Takes Network Management to the Next Level with Opmantek
In 2019, Nextlink implemented solutions from Opmantek for its monitoring, management, data collection and other operational tasks across its network. One of the products Nextlink uses, an event manager that automates event handling through extendable policies that enrich, correlate, organize and manage all the events in Nextlink’s environment.
With opEvents, Nextlink can automate event diagnostics and leverage intelligent automation to remediate network events which has helped to streamline its workflow. Using process automation, opEvents, modelled by Nextlink’s troubleshooting procedure, automates the troubleshooting and remediation of events, reducing the mean time to resolution (MTTR) when faults occur.

Head-to-Head: Monolith vs. Microservices
Wednesday, June 23 at 2pm ET
The pace of technology innovation has dramatically accelerated and IT can no longer postpone the modernization of legacy systems. Modernizing legacy applications is an iterative process—one that doesn’t have to involve a start-from-scratch approach.
Decoupling is one of the approaches companies can take to create flexibility without ripping out the entire legacy portfolio. By refactoring systems into microservices, companies can take advantage of the scale, reusability, and flexibility of cloud-native apps.
Join our upcoming Tech Talk to learn more about how you can use OutSystems to leverage microservices and to modernize your IT portfolio in a progressive approach. Some of the topics we’ll cover include:
- What functions should be broken out of a monolithic application and how granular your microservices should be
- How to realize the scalability and flexibility from modernizing to the cloud
- Best practices to define a modular and future-ready architecture
Moving to the Cloud: Achieving Digital Transformation with a Zero Trust Approach (SPA)

In an interview with Richard Tubb, the IT Business Growth Expert, Jaya Baloo covers:
- The best ways to present cybersecurity to SMBs and explain its importance
- The biggest cyber threats faced by SMBs today and the best defense strategy
- How SMBs with limited budgets and/or IT resources can still stay protected
- The importance of a response plan in case an SMB is impacted by a cyber attack
- The future of the cybersecurity landscape and the role of emerging technologies
Navigating the Evolving Network Perimeter
