The Network Operations Center (NOC)— the powerful, centralized epicenter that supervises, monitors, and maintains network availability—is the core of the network infrastructure. It’s up to the NOC to keep large, complex networks running reliably.
Today’s modern enterprise WAN is a mix of public internet, cloud provider networks, SD-WAN overlays, containers, and CASBs. This means that as we develop a network visibility strategy, we must go where no engineer has gone before to meet the needs of how applications are delivered today.
Streaming telemetry holds the promise of radically improving the reliability and performance of today’s complex network infrastructures, but it does come with caveats. In the first of a new series, Kentik CEO Avi Freedman covers streaming telemetry’s history and original development.
In this article, we will explore what Cisco NX OS is and what it is used for. You will find out what metrics are and why it is very important to monitor them. Then, we will look at how to monitor Cisco NX OS metrics with Grafana, a graphical data visualization tool, and how MetricFire can help us with this. In order to learn more about MetricFire, book a demo with our technical specialists or sign up for the MetricFire free trial today.
API monitoring is the process of keeping tabs on the performance of your REST APIs. Learn how Kentik’s API monitoring tools let you identify bottlenecks, spot performance drops, and maintain availability to ensure a quality experience for your end users. Learn more in this API monitoring tutorial.
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) is the dominant IP addressing scheme in the modern web. By enabling network engineers to create subnets that encapsulate a set range of IP addresses, CIDR facilitates the flexible and efficient allocation of IPs in virtual private clouds (VPCs) and other networks.
