DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) from Broadcom is a cornerstone enterprise solution that can be employed for precise and powerful infrastructure monitoring. For many enterprises, DX UIM is central to their overall observability strategy. Over the years, ongoing enhancements to DX UIM have supported continual changes in modern enterprise environments and cemented the solution’s strong position as the single source of truth for all aspects of infrastructure monitoring.

The exponential growth of new technologies, such as generative AI, in conjunction with the rapid adoption of cloud technologies and the boom of IoT devices, has created an abundance of data that needs to travel across diverse ecosystems. This proliferation of technology brings many benefits to organisations but simultaneously creates more vulnerabilities and security challenges to manage.

Network operations have become increasingly complex due to the distributed nature of modern applications which use data from private data centers, public clouds and the internet to provide end user services. With the adoption of these multi-cloud, multi-tier application architectures, network engineers must integrate new services (e.g AWS Direct Connect and Kubernetes clusters) from cloud providers into their existing services.
