In our era of cloud-native applications, robust observability is critical to maintain performance, identify issues, and enhance user experiences. With its advanced capabilities, DX Operational Observability (DX O2) integrates seamlessly with OpenTelemetry, a leading open-source observability framework. In this blog, we explore how to onboard the OpenTelemetry Demo Application to DX O2. The demo application provides a hands-on introduction to combining these powerful tools.

DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) from Broadcom is a cornerstone enterprise solution that can be employed for precise and powerful infrastructure monitoring. For many enterprises, DX UIM is central to their overall observability strategy. Over the years, ongoing enhancements to DX UIM have supported continual changes in modern enterprise environments and cemented the solution’s strong position as the single source of truth for all aspects of infrastructure monitoring.

DX Operational Observability (DX O2), a next-generation AIOps and Observability solution from Broadcom, offers two powerful capabilities that generate valuable insights from complex log data. Since DX O2 supports ingestion of logs from a wide variety of sources, the solution offers an enormous opportunity to improve observability and power AIOps.

In today’s digital battleground, a business’ survival depends on the robustness and reliability of its network infrastructure. Network connectivity represents the backbone of critical operations and services. Optimized network performance and experience is the lifeblood of corporate success. With the surge in cloud computing and cutting-edge technologies, networks are becoming intricate and multi-layered beasts.

With today’s dynamic technology landscape, network teams face increasing demands for agility, resilience, and efficiency. Broadcom's latest release, DX NetOps 24.3, is designed to meet these challenges. With features that enhance visibility, streamline operations, and simplify maintenance, the new version equips organizations with the capabilities to stay ahead in managing modern, hybrid networks. Let’s review key innovations available in the latest version of DX NetOps.

In the increasingly complex network infrastructure stack, achieving complete visibility across every layer is no longer optional—it’s necessary. Network operations teams seek solutions that offer seamless observability across diverse infrastructures while minimizing operational costs. Enter SystemEDGE, a robust monitoring tool designed to amplify observability within the DX NetOps ecosystem.

DX Operational Observability (DX O2) from Broadcom supports ingestion and retention of OpenTelemetry (OTel) data. Teams who have instrumented applications with OpenTelemetry SDKs and APIs can now ingest telemetry into DX O2 using the OpenTelemetry Collector, a core component of OpenTelemetry, and the OTel Collector Exporter, which is now available through early access in DX O2.

Ensuring continuous network connectivity keeps getting more critical—but costly outages keep happening. This post looks at a key culprit behind many network outages: network configuration errors. We outline the key requirements for streamlining and automating configuration management, and detail how DX NetOps can help.

An often-overlooked, powerful feature of DX UIM (Unified Infrastructure Management) is the Alarm Enrichment probe. Deployed on the Primary Hub as part of the standard installation, this feature has significant, often untapped potential to enhance the effectiveness of alarms generated by DX UIM.

Across regions and industries, organizations are continuing to expand their use of SD-WAN technologies. This move is happening for good reason. With SD-WAN, organizations are realizing reduced costs, improved communication security, and enhanced flexibility. One of the ways SD-WAN delivers these benefits is through an intelligent layer of abstraction that manages network traffic and dynamically controls the flow of data.
