Overview Watch Now Many state and local governments are rethinking their network monitoring strategies after unexpected licensing costs, evolving cybersecurity concerns and growing operational demands exposed the limitations of legacy platforms. At the same time, hybrid environments, cloud adoption and increasingly distributed infrastructure have made network visibility more important—and more challenging — than ever.
Beyond Application Monitoring: Building Site Reliability for Mission-Critical Operations
Overview Watch Now Government services and higher education institutions depend on far more than applications. Networks, databases, cloud infrastructure and AI-powered systems all have to work together — and when something fails, IT teams need to pinpoint the problem quickly. Relying on disconnected monitoring tools makes that increasingly difficult. Particularly in the age of AI applications, organizations need a better way to track performance and detect issues efficiently.

Understanding Data Center Opposition to Inform Strategy
There is widespread opposition to data center development in the U.S. according to new research from the Information and Technology Innovation Foundation (ITIF), which could create friction for leaders’ AI goals. Data center development has been dubbed the “NIMBY issue of our time”; ITIF’s research, released last week, illustrates that sentiment. While 15 percent of respondents opposed new housing being built in their community, 46 percent opposed a new data center.
Cities Are Using AI to Speed Up Housing Project Permitting
(TNS) — New housing projects can sometimes stall out as a developer applies to city or county planning boards and goes through cycles of inspections, reviews and approvals. Now, cities are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to address one of the most persistent sources of housing permitting delays: incomplete applications. And two new streams of federal money aim to help them. AI can handle time-intensive tasks such as scanning applications and flagging errors.
Why did MapQuest become the No. 1 navigation app over the weekend?
MapQuest surged in popularity over the weekend after refusing to go along with a new federal executive order. President Donald Trump on Thursday issued the order directing the U.S. Department of the Interior to update the name of Lake Ontario in the U.S. Geographic Names Information System. The new name? Lake America. Google Maps has already made the change on its service, while Apple Maps has yet to indicate what it will do.
Experts: Water Cyber Attacks Had Scale, Not Sophistication
Water and wastewater facilities in at least seven states were hit by cybersecurity attacks beginning July 27, and experts say the attacks weren’t necessarily sophisticated. What they were, however, was large scale, involving more than 100 individual incidents. Water and wastewater utilities started reporting cybersecurity incidents involving Internet-facing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) during the last week of July, report the FBI and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Louisiana Town Transformed by Meta Data Center Interest
(TNS) — Cecil Reddick dealt with the typical constituent requests after he was elected to the Richland Parish Police Jury in rural northeast Louisiana: repair roads, upgrade drainage and demolish dams built by beavers that were now flooding roadside ditches. Then, in late 2024, Gov. Jeff Landry and executives with Meta announced shocking news: the California-based company planned to build a massive data center to power AI computing, in fields where corn, rice, cotton and soybeans were grown.
Chicago Suburb Launches New Chatbot Named Humphrey
(TNS) — Orland Park Mayor Jim Dodge says he’s excited about the potential for artificial intelligence to improve communication between the village and community members, including through a recently launched chatbot. The bot, named after the village’s first mayor, John Humphrey, will make it easier for residents to get basic questions answered and for staff to keep track of service requests, Dodge said Friday.
