Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a network architecture that provides organizations with a flexible, secure, and cost-effective way to manage their networks. SD-WAN technology abstracts the underlying network and provides an intelligent layer of abstraction, making it possible to manage network traffic and dynamically control the flow of data. SD-WAN technology is an attractive option for organizations looking to improve the performance and security of their networks.

The adoption of software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) technologies continues to pick up pace. By employing SD-WAN technologies, organizations have the potential to realize a range of advantages. Teams can achieve better performance while using lower cost, using commercially-available technologies. For example, teams can use public internet services rather than more expensive private WAN technologies, such as MPLS.

We are excited to share that the AIOps and Observability solution from Broadcom has earned a leader position for platform play and maturity in the GigaOm Radar Report for Cloud Observability, 2023. This report reviewed solutions from 20 vendors on 13 criteria, including across such areas as innovation, understanding of emerging trends, solution capabilities and features, and deployment models.

The answer to this question can be very complex, like today's networks. Many enterprise leaders think that this is a subject that should be left to the care of technology geniuses. However, the reality is that this should matter to everyone given the impact the network has on businesses today. The Internet is the new enterprise network. This is due to the fact that user experiences now rely more on ISP and cloud networks than they do on those that reside within the four walls of the data center.

Limited visibility into network performance across multi-clouds frustrates even the best teams. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce enhanced AWS and GCP support for Kentik Cloud, enabling network, cloud, and infrastructure teams to rapidly troubleshoot and understand multi-cloud traffic.

This model has benefits, but at the same time, it introduces complexity for the IT teams tasked with monitoring and securing IT systems. Existing network monitoring technologies that system admins use with on-premise infrastructure are typically not expandable to include infrastructure and services running on public cloud platforms. This is a problem as you cannot manage and secure what you cannot see.
