Even when employees can connect to an app from a mobile phone via places like a crowded airport Wi-Fi, with Flowmon's support of the cloud-native Packet Mirroring function, NetOps can ensure smooth service. This session will demonstrate how to identify the precise nature and origin of networking issues between your clients and apps hosted in Google Cloud Services.

Ronald van Loon & Sendur Sellakumar | Splunk Cloud Is Rebuilt for the Data Age
