Network Performance Monitoring
Proactive monitoring for enhanced network health and observability
Mastering Network Performance: A Simple Approach to Navigating Complex IT Landscapes
Network teams often find themselves overwhelmed, trying to stay ahead of a myriad of complaints, logs, and reports. The key difficulty lies in pinpointing the real source of network issues, especially in an era dominated by decentralized networks, the Internet of Things (IoT),SD-WAN, and the layered configurations of hybrid and private cloud solutions.
With the rise of work-from-home (WFH) models, remote employees in various locations frequently use cloud applications, often bypassing the traditional data center route. This shift underscores the urgency for comprehensive infrastructure monitoring and a deeper insight into the experience of remote end-users.
The evolving landscape of Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) and Management is marked with key trends driven by increasing complexity. These trends include:
- Adapting to Expanding Network Tiers and Hosting Locations: As network tiers expand, the hosting landscape now encompasses multi-cloud and external geographic sites along with traditional deployments. This requires a dynamic approach to NPM, adapting to the varied needs of different hosting environments.
- Addressing Visibility Challenges with Remote Users and WFH Users: The surge in remote and work-from-home users has created unique visibility challenges. They often access network resources outside the traditional enterprise environment, connecting directly to cloud-based applications and often bypassing traditional data centers.
- Leveraging Software as a Service (SaaS): SaaS brings a convenient, cloud-based model for delivering application software, configuration services, and automated updates to consumers and businesses. This trend benefits users with its ease of deployment and advanced security features, ensuring robust network performance and security in a cloud-centric world.
