DX App Synthetic Monitor (DX ASM) performs synthetic checks from an external perspective to replicate real-user experience. Using the DX ASM global network of more than 90 monitoring stations, customers can test a website or application on a 24/7 basis, with no disruption to production systems. The solution also provides the option to create on-premises monitoring stations (OPMS) within a data center to monitor web applications and APIs inside the firewall.

In the fast-paced era of modern communications, staying on top of network operations is critical to ensuring optimal performance and minimizing downtimes. While networks become increasingly complex, just keeping the lights on and reacting to issues as they arise is no longer enough. Today’s network management demands not only real-time monitoring but also the ability to derive insights from comprehensive reports to provide an accurate picture of health, performance, and configuration.

In today’s complex cloud environments, traditional network visibility tools fail to provide the necessary context to understand and troubleshoot application performance issues. In this post, we delve into how network observability bridges this gap by combining diverse telemetry data and enriching it with contextual information.

Connecting these two leading data center providers can supercharge your network efficiency. Here are three ways to do it. It doesn’t matter what size your business is – the ability to seamlessly transfer and manage data across multiple locations is crucial for uninterrupted productivity. A common use case network managers want to implement is connecting their Equinix and Digital Realty data centers.

In today’s rapidly evolving networking landscape, enterprise networks are more complex than ever before. Network organizations must manage traditional Layer 2 networks while adopting cutting-edge software-defined technologies such as SD-WAN, SDDC, and SD-LAN. Managing these globally distributed, multi-dimensional networks is no small feat.

Have you ever faced a situation where a sudden network outage or slowdown impacted your workday, leaving you wondering what could have been done to prevent it? Along with the many frustrations and risks that come with network downtime, this common scenario illustrates the importance of staying one step ahead in managing your network health. But what is network monitoring, and how can it help you address issues before they escalate into major disruptions?
