Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.

Daily operations have become smoother and troubleshooting is more efficient for critical servers
My experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 with support by ProComputers has been positive, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. More proactive technical support, faster response time for critical issues, and better documentation for troubleshooting common problems would be helpful. It would also be useful to have more guidance on security updates, patch management, and system optimization. A centralized dashboard for monitoring server health and identifying potential issues could further improve the experience. One additional improvement for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 with support by ProComputers would be better integration with centralized monitoring and automation tools. A more user-friendly graphical interface for monitoring system health, resource utilization, and system security alerts would also be helpful, especially for teams managing multiple servers. Improved integration with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow and better automation for routine patching and maintenance tasks could save time and reduce manual effort.
