Orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and OpenShift help customers reduce costs by enabling on-demand, scalable compute resources. Customers can manually scale out and scale in their Kubernetes compute resources as needed. Autoscaling is the process of automatically adjusting compute resources to meet a system's performance requirements. As workloads grow, systems require additional resources to sustain performance and handle increasing demand.

For today’s enterprises, ensuring optimized network connectivity and robust network security represent key imperatives. Given that, it makes sense that there’s rapidly growing use of solutions like secure access service edge (SASE). In fact, the SASE market is expected to grow to $5.9 billion by 2028. SASE delivers converged network and security capabilities. SASE is a cloud-based offering that is primarily delivered on an as-a-service basis.

DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) from Broadcom is a comprehensive solution for monitoring an organization’s entire IT infrastructure. The product provides IT administrators and operations teams with a centralized view of their infrastructure to ensure availability and performance of servers, network devices, storage systems, virtualization environments, applications, and cloud services.

Your network is the central nervous system of your business. Its performance, reliability, and security have a direct impact on your organization’s operations, revenue, and reputation. Yet, lurking within this critical infrastructure is a common source of disruption and risk: network configuration changes.

As enterprises continue their cloud and container journeys as part of modernization efforts, they are realizing “hybrid reality” is here to stay. For many, moving all services to clouds or containers is not a viable option. As a result, at least some services will be required to remain on premises. This presents unique challenges and ongoing complexity for monitoring and observability.

Release 23.4 Cumulative Update 4 (CU4) for DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) adds significant improvements to the product’s security stance and extends technical currency to support modern infrastructures. The release builds on the proven track record of DX UIM to deliver enterprise-ready capabilities and monitoring coverage, while meeting the highest standards for security, scalability, and performance.

Private cloud solutions like VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) are rapidly gaining traction as organizations seek the benefits of on-premises control with cloud-enabled agility. While these offerings deliver significant benefits, they also introduce significant challenges for network operations teams striving to maintain optimal user experiences.

Broadcom continues to expand the capabilities of AppNeta by Broadcom, offering ongoing enhancements in features and value. With the introduction of TCP protocol support, users can now achieve more streamlined setup processes and deeper visibility into modern network paths. These enhancements help eliminate blind spots and improve monitoring accuracy across complex network environments. Review this post to learn more about these valuable new capabilities.

The power of AIOps and Observability relies on the ability to ingest, normalize, and correlate the large volumes and huge variety of data available to IT operations teams. With its support for both Broadcom and third-party data, DX Operational Observability (DX O2) gives these teams unmatched observability and insights. With so much data coming to DX O2, monitoring operators need to be notified when important events may occur: Without notifications, important alerts may be overlooked.

When network issues arise, it doesn’t take long for fingers to start pointing—often in the direction of network operations teams. In such moments, being forced to rely on guesswork or speculative theories is the last thing any team wants. Making matters worse, even if answers are found, but it takes too long to arrive at them, the reputational damage, not to mention the negative repercussions of the actual outage, are already done.
