Your Root Cause Analysis is Flawed by Design

Oct 29, 2025 By Yann Guernion In Broadcom
There’s a nagging feeling of déjà vu that haunts every network operations leader. You invest significant time and resources to resolve a major performance issue. Your best engineers isolate a culprit—a misbehaving load balancer, perhaps—and after a frantic effort, service is restored. You close the ticket, confident the problem is solved. Then, two weeks later, it’s back.

The Network Engineers You Can't Hire? They Already Work for You

Oct 22, 2025 By Yann Guernion In Broadcom
In my conversations about managing large, complex networks, one topic is now constant. The issue isn't budgets or new technology; it's about personnel. Specifically, it's the increasing difficulty of finding and retaining skilled professionals. If you are feeling this pressure, you are not alone. The search for technical talent is a universal challenge.

Your network isn't infrastructure anymore. It's a product.

Oct 22, 2025 By Yann Guernion In Broadcom
In my last blog, I’ve discussed a common problem: metrics like mean time to resolution (MTTR) mean nothing to business leaders. Celebrating a faster fix for an outage that still cost the company thousands in lost sales is a conversation that goes nowhere. You might as well be speaking a different language.

Nobody Cares About Your MTTR

Oct 8, 2025 By Yann Guernion In Broadcom
I’ve been in those late-night "war room" calls where, after hours of painstaking work, the team finally resolves a critical outage. The dashboards all turn green, a collective sigh of relief is shared, and the next day’s report highlights a victory: Mean time to resolution (MTTR) was reduced by 15% compared to the last major incident. It feels like a win.

Tag(ging)-You're It: How to Leverage AppNeta Monitoring Data for Maximum Insights

Oct 8, 2025 By Alec Pinkham In Broadcom
Today’s enterprise networks are a far cry from the centralized, predictable infrastructures of the past. Instead, they are sprawling, dynamic ecosystems that stretch across cloud services, SaaS applications, on-premises data centers, distributed branches, and thousands of end users connecting from every imaginable location. This complexity creates a huge challenge for IT and network operations teams: How do you get a clear, real-time view of what’s really happening?

Why 1% Packet Loss Is the New 100% Outage

Oct 1, 2025 By Yann Guernion In Broadcom
For years, you had an unspoken agreement. Your networks were built to be resilient, and your applications were, for the most part, forgiving. You sent emails, transferred files, and backed up data. If a few packets went missing along the way, the protocols would quietly clean up the mess. A little bit of packet loss was just background noise, an expected imperfection in a system that was, by and large, incredibly robust. You could tolerate it.

Defining the Network Engineer of Tomorrow

Sep 26, 2025 By Yann Guernion In Broadcom
A little while ago, I wrote a piece with the provocative title, "The End of the Network Engineer as We Know It?" It struck a chord because it articulated a shift many of us feel in our bones: the ground is moving beneath our feet. The traditional, well-defined corporate network has dissolved into a sprawling, borderless ecosystem of public clouds, SaaS platforms, and the vast, untamed internet. The old role, focused on the care and feeding of devices within our four walls, is no longer sufficient.

Harnessing AppNeta's Browser- and HTTP-based Workflows to Track User Experience

Sep 26, 2025 By Alec Pinkham In Broadcom
These days, maintaining uptime of your servers and other infrastructure elements remains as critical as ever—but it’s not enough. Quite simply, even the best server reliability metrics won’t mean a thing if the user experience is poor. What truly matters is understanding the service levels your users experience, whether they’re accessing apps through a web browser or interacting with API-based services.
