Download your complimentary copy of the 2022 GigaOm Radar Report For Network Observability here. As the 2022 GigaOm Radar Report for Network Observability states, "Network observability is a category of platforms and tools that go beyond device-centric network monitoring to provide truly relevant, end-to-end visibility and intelligence for all the traffic in your network, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or anywhere else.".

DX NetOps 22.2 continues to deliver our industry-leading visibility, scale and modern network coverage...now beyond the network edge to quickly and easily isolate end-user experience impact of managed or unmanaged network changes.

To contend with their escalating, intensifying demands, today’s operations teams must constantly be on the quest to boost efficiency. In my prior post, I offered a high-level introduction to DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) Monitoring Configuration Service (MCS), outlining how its key features can significantly streamline administration in large-scale enterprise environments. In this follow up post, I’ll provide more details for teams looking to start working with MCS.

We all know that cloud and SaaS adoption continues to grow rapidly, often outpacing budgets. In fact, spending on IaaS and SaaS exceeded budgets in more than 40% of organizations in 2021. As a result, network traffic is now spending much more time on the internet than in our own data centers. The internet has become the new enterprise network.

For just about any organization, there’s a balance that has to be struck between absolute security and absolute convenience. Seemingly, every new innovation that increases convenience also introduces new risks. On the other hand, every safeguard instituted can also create complexity, delays, or in some other way diminish the user experience. Either way, businesses are exposed, whether to the catastrophic consequences of breaches, or of an erosion of user productivity and customer retention.

With the latest release of our network monitoring and digital experience monitoring software, we are proud to introduce an industry-first Experience-Driven NetOps solution, taking network visibility to the new enterprise network, expanding beyond the network edge to ISP and cloud providers. The DX NetOps 22.2 release will enable teams to operationalize the new enterprise network, focus on user experience, and avoid chasing utilization spikes.

For today’s IT operations teams, the stakes keep getting higher and demands only intensify. The services these teams are responsible for managing play an increasingly critical role in the prospects of the business, which means optimizing service levels is an absolute imperative. Meanwhile, the environments in play only seem to keep getting larger, more complex, and more dynamic. Given these factors, monitoring is a task that keeps getting more vital and more difficult.

This post is part of a series featuring customers, partners, and experienced DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) practitioners. We’ve asked these expert users to share their knowledge with the broader DX UIM community. Today, we’re featuring Kathy Solomon, the Unix Systems Administrator for the R&D Support organization within Broadcom IT.
