Research published by Cisco AppDynamics highlights the challenges that IT teams are facing in managing application availability and performance within hybrid IT environments. The new report, The Age of Application Observability, reveals the levels of complexity that technologists are encountering as they implement cloud native technologies alongside existing on-premises applications and infrastructure.

How AppDynamics APM, Cloud Native Application Observability and the Cisco FSO Platform can provide a full-stack, holistic view of application performance, user experience, security posture and business impact. Recently, a customer asked me how Cisco’s investment in full-stack observability benefits traditional AppDynamics customers. To answer, first, let’s take a moment to discuss how Cisco AppDynamics fits into Cisco Full-Stack Observability.

AppDynamics Cloud is now Cloud Native Application Observability powered by Cisco Full-Stack Observability (FSO) Platform. With Cisco FSO Platform extensibility, the introduction of new modules will extend observability use cases supported by Cloud Native Application Observability. In addition, we are expanding our Multi-Cloud Observability strategy to include visibility into Google Cloud Platform with this release.

Cisco AppDynamics has reached a significant milestone in supporting traditional and modern application monitoring use cases with AppDynamics and Cloud Native Application Observability (formerly AppDynamics Cloud). Many enterprises have yet to complete their journey to modern cloud native architectures, but most have started embracing such a move.
