Running network operations today is more complicated than ever before. Networks are growing in size and complexity due to modern network architecture adoption, but organizations are not hiring more staff to compensate for this increased complexity and demand. The prevailing mentality seems to be to do more with what you have.

For DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) customers, there are significant benefits to be gained by staying current with the latest releases—and that’s especially true now. The latest version, release 20.4 cumulative update (CU) 5, offers a significant number of enhancements and new capabilities. This new release provides teams with a number of advantages, including increased flexibility, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced insights.

Your IT Infrastructure team faces untenable demands on their time and resources as your organization increasingly relies on complex hybrid infrastructures and an ever-growing set of technologies and cloud-based services. You can actually limit visibility and slow triage as you add monitoring tools to cover this expansion, blocking critical insight into your environment at the IT service level. What’s really required to be successful in today’s IT infrastructure environment?

Leverage DX NetOps network monitoring software metric projections to manage demands for IT resources proactively and cost-effectively. Capacity is a finite resource, so your IT Team needs to carefully analyze current and future use case scenarios to prevent potential bottlenecks. Presenting key network metric projections in a simple and unified manner is paramount to predict capacity and to understand when more resources are needed, allowing you to plan accordingly.

For DevOps teams looking for insights on how to improve, it’s invaluable to leverage the learnings of others. At the same time, given the wide range of DevOps teams’ expertise, tenure, and organizational dynamics, it’s also clear that one size does not fit all. That’s why efforts like this year’s “Accelerate State of DevOps Report” are so important. We’re proud to be a sponsor of this 2022 edition.
