Last Updated on 15 hours The recent outage caused by Crowdstrike on Jul 18, 2024 has proved how the fallout was unforeseen and unthinkable, across the globe. In this era of zero trust, the leading cyber security company Crowdstrike sent an update to its Falcon sensor agent and another IT leader Microsoft which had Crowdstrike sensors installed crashed with Blue Screen of Death(BSOD) as soon as the update was received caused by a null pointer issue.

AIOps and Observability Market is set to catapult with the advent of Generative AI and as per the recent Cisco article Observability is soon set-to-be a $34 billion market opportunity and CloudFabrix plays a vital role in this evolving landscape as it seamlessly integrates AIOps, Observability, and GenAI to offer a comprehensive solution that enhances IT Operations and drives industry-specific innovations.

It’s great to be back at another action and innovation-packed Cisco Live 2024. Continuing our tradition of posting Cisco Live announcements and highlights (catch Cisco Live 2023 Highlights here), I am putting together my thoughts and perspective on the Top-10 Cisco Live 2024 Announcements and Highlights. This year, I also had the pleasure of representing CloudFabrix at the event, which helped gain deeper insights on customer needs and expectations on Observability, Asset Insights and AIOps.

Splunk and CloudFabrix are both powerful tools in the realm of IT operations management, but they serve different primary functions, have different use cases and are complementary to each other. Splunk focuses on organizations requiring real-time visibility into IT operations with powerful search and analysis capabilities for large volumes of data, real-time monitoring and alerting for IT operations, log management, security incident response, Observability, and rich visualizations for AIOps.

In today’s digital landscape, IT operations face unique challenges and pressures unlike those of the past. Currently, the cost of a service failure for medium and large enterprises is estimated to exceed $100,000 per hour. At present high incident management costs, coupled with the impact on customer satisfaction, present significant challenges for enterprises. To resolve this challenge AI and ML assists in enhancing the overall management of incidents and reducing response times.

Telco service providers face a unique set of challenges when it comes to service delivery. Their networks are complex and heterogeneous, and they need to be able to correlate events from multiple protocols and layers in order to quickly identify and resolve problems.
