Three Ways to Assure Network Quality
What is the quality of your network? More to the point, what is the quality of the network experience? Do your employees think that your network is slow? Merely adequate? Speedy? At the highest level, this is what network operations teams need to understand how to answer. And this needs to be answered no matter how complicated the network path is between endpoints. We’ll take a look at three things that can help you get a handle on these questions.
Considerations for Active Monitoring from an SD-WAN Site
As companies adopt SD-WAN technologies, they increasingly rely on network services outside their control. The new reality is that network operations need end-to-end visibility on the network performance whether or not they own the infrastructure. In a 2023 EMA survey, 63% of companies report using the Internet as their primary WAN connectivity.
As Technologies Continue to Evolve, How Do You Know What DX UIM Monitors?
DX UIM is designed to add monitoring for new technologies as IT operators adopt cutting-edge devices and services to improve their competitiveness, develop new services for their end users or customers, or increase cost efficiency. DX UIM currently supports monitoring and metric collection for more than 140 different technologies. Its architecture easily allows new technologies to be added to the list. How do you know if your technologies are covered? It’s Easy: In this 3-Minute Video Our DX UIM expert explains how to navigate to the Tech Docs section on our Support website.
Tame the Complexity of Software-Defined WANs and Hybrid Networks
As organizations increase their dependence on the cloud, they also add pressure on their wide area network (WAN) infrastructure. Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) comes as an ideally suited solution for implementing distributed networking over commercially available Internet access.
Monitoring Software-Defined, Cloud, and ISP Networks
For decades, the data center has been the core hub for applications, routing, firewalls, processing, and more. Now, the enterprise is highly reliant upon distributed workplaces, cloud-based resources, and third-party-operated networks. In this context, modern networks encompass more diverse infrastructures, requiring IT organizations to contend with the added demands of managing and maintaining these expanding environments.
Early Detection of Network Issues: Keys to Success
Regardless of which sandwich is their favorite, your customers and end users are highly reliant upon your organization’s network-powered business services. When issues arise that affect the delivery of these services, fast and effective response is a must. The costs of performance issues and downtime can mount by the minute, so sooner is definitely better than later.
Using Syslog with DX NetOps
For IT operations teams, syslog messages continue to be a vital source of intelligence for network events. By tapping into this data, teams can manage their environments more efficiently and effectively. In this post, we offer an introduction to syslog, and examine how DX NetOps enables teams to fully harness the intelligence from this data.
Maximizing Operational Consistency in Modern Networks
With increasingly large, complex, and dynamic network environments, operational consistency is essential for network teams to effectively mitigate disruptions, improve performance, and ensure optimal resource utilization. However, many organizations still struggle to establish an effective mix of people, processes, and technology.
Proactive Insights: How to Go from Reacting to Preventing Network Issues
If you’re an IT or network operations leader, consider the following questions: Network operators know how frustrating it can be to constantly contend with pressing network issues and outages. These team members spend copious amounts of time putting out fires, rather than focusing on efforts like making plans to optimize the network. These teams have to deal with high volumes of false alarms as well real incidents that affect network performance and availability and the user experience.
NetOps Expert ep 11:Top 5 Ways to Troubleshoot Issues in Modern Networks
In this latest episode of the NetOps Expert, Nestor Falcon, from the NetOps by Broadcom product team, explains how to troubleshoot issues in modern networks in five easy steps. He will walk us through examples of how a network operations team can use DX NetOps by Broadcom to determine the root cause of a network degradation issue that affected users accessing a cloud application.
NetOps Expert ep 12: AI/ML and NetOps - A Conversation with EMA
In this episode, I talk to Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research at EMA about how IT organizations are improving network management with intelligent systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Sometimes known as AIOps, these AI/ML technologies are helping organizations optimize their networks, streamline operations, and reduce security risk. We break down his research and get to real use cases that network teams can utilize today.
Three Ways to Gain End-to-End Network Coverage and Visibility
Network operations teams face many challenges in ensuring optimal network performance and availability in today's complex and dynamic environments. These teams need to monitor and manage multiple devices, technologies, and vendors, while contending with huge amounts of data and significant complexity. How can your teams get a clear and accurate picture of your network performance and health?
The Recipe for Speeding Troubleshooting in Modern Networks
I love cooking. I find it to be a very creative outlet. I enjoy being able to combine various ingredients, which each add a specific flavor, color, and even texture. When these ingredients come together in a complementary way, it can result in a tasty, satisfying dining experience. If you think about it, network operations troubleshooting is not much different. Isolated data sets from various siloed tool sets are like the separate ingredients in a recipe.
How AppNeta Complements CASBs for Network Monitoring
In today's cloud-centric IT landscape, cloud access security brokers (CASBs) have become pivotal in managing and securing cloud applications. CASBs act as gatekeepers, enabling enterprises to extend their security policies beyond their own infrastructure and into the cloud. CASBs work by performing various kinds of network monitoring—they track user activities, data movement, and application usage within cloud environments.
