NetSocket announced the first in its CEM 2000 Series of products for remote and branch offices.
With CEM 2000, NetSocket expands its line of CEM unified communications service assurance solutions to meet the needs of enterprises that have a large number of distributed remote offices.
CEM 2000 offers a smaller, highly affordable footprint than previously available, reducing CAPEX for remote sites.
CEM (Cloud Experience Manager) provides comprehensive insight into network issues, reducing problem resolution time by more than 70 percent for a significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and a superior user experience. More than just monitoring, CEM provides complete IP network information correlation. CEM automatically correlates session, content and topology data in real time, without probes, enabling managers to anticipate, isolate and remediate network problems. CEM's patented IP Correlation Engine finds the "needle in a haystack" in a matter of clicks rather than hours or days.
With its newly enhanced UC service assurance management interface, CEM provides proactive network service management more intuitively than ever before. The CEM GUI provides a single-pane-of-glass view of correlated session, content and topology data to deliver immediate and clear visibility of the user experience and optimized proactive problem identification and remediation with comprehensive reporting.
"Our research shows that organizations are increasingly looking to expand the benefits of network performance management solutions to more locations and users. By offering multiple network service management options to extend network visibility further out into enterprise remote sites, NetSocket's CEM 2000 is meeting the needs of a broader range of customers and enabling more organizations to leverage its solutions," said Bojan Simic, president and principal analyst, TRAC Research. "CEM 2000 is aligned with how branch offices are designed, to ensure the highest quality unified communications to remote users."
"Customers with highly distributed enterprises wanted a more affordable way to assure service quality for remote users, which is what we developed CEM 2000 to provide," said John White, CEO and president of NetSocket. "CEM has a single-system architecture that easily scales to large, medium and small environments. With CEM 2000, customers have a fully featured CEM appliance that allows them to extend network visibility to all users in their enterprise regardless of location."
The CEM 2000 joins the CEM product family, which also includes the CEM 6000 appliance, for supporting service deployment across all types of enterprises. While the CEM 2000 is designed for remote and branch offices (50-1,000 users), the CEM 6000 is designed for large offices and data centers (> 1,000 users).

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
