Today’s data deluge, resulting from the changing landscape of network technologies, demands an innovative approach to networking and network monitoring. Organizations need visibility across current, modern, and edge communication paths to ensure the delivery of a reliable customer experience.
Cloud Migration
When workloads move to the cloud, network monitoring software visibility is lost. Moving applications to hybrid infrastructure creates visibility gaps for network operations teams as they may no longer have the operational insight needed to be effective. Yet it is critical that applications continue to deliver high levels of responsiveness and availability-at all times, no matter if the application is deployed in the data center, private cloud, public cloud, or a combination of all three.
Edge Networking
A recent exponential growth of SD-WAN, IoT, and faster networking technologies, such as 5G, which support real-time applications like video processing, analytics, or even self-driving cars, has caused new technologies to now produce more traffic at the edge of data center networks. Traditionally, data computation is done at the core. But, to avoid latency issues that will affect application performance, IoT and 5G require processing and storage that is closer to the edge of the network where this data is being gathered. Additionally, research has shown that by 2025, “5G networks will carry nearly half of the world’s mobile data traffic.”1 This tsunami of data as well as new application latency requirements will...
