In today's fast-paced digital landscape, maintaining robust and efficient IT operations is more critical than ever. As organizations embrace complex infrastructures, integrating cloud services, microservices, and distributed architectures, the need for comprehensive visibility across the entire stack becomes paramount.

We’re excited to announce that soon after the acquisition, Splunk and Cisco started teaming up to deliver engineers and ITOps teams with an improved leading observability experience. With the forces of Splunk and Cisco joined together, observability practitioners will be able to enjoy a new level of troubleshooting and monitoring across their entire stack, regardless of their deployment model.

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, IT teams grapple with the complexities of managing hybrid environments, where on-premises infrastructure coexists with cloud-based services. A report by 451 Research highlights the prevalence of this challenge, revealing that over 60% of organizations operate in hybrid environments. Yet, many struggle to manage the intricacies of this architecture effectively.

So much goodness is coming your way! Find out all about the latest and greatest from Splunk Observability that helps you keep your entire stack up and running, no matter where it’s deployed or who’s troubleshooting.

If you look at typical Application interaction with service point it tends to happen in two stages – first we connect to the Service and when we are interfacing through that established connection. In this description though one thing stays invisible – you can’t simply connect to the Service through the hostname – that host name needs to be resolved into an IP address, and if this name resolution process does not work or does not perform, the application suffers.

The systems and data that healthcare providers utilize and process are fundamental to its successful operation. Therefore these organizations must invest in appropriate and powerful observability solutions that enable them to effectively monitor their systems and valuable data. These tools and solutions allow healthcare providers to securely manage, deliver, and ensure uptime for their entire IT infrastructure.

It may sound complicated and daunting, but so much of observability is about discovering the unknown unknowns in your critical systems. The capabilities of observability engineering can help you make those discoveries. Most organizations have some form of monitoring, alerting and troubleshooting, which can be adequate to a point but fall short when trying to determine the root cause of unexpected outages.
