As the 2022 GigaOm Radar Report for Network Observability states, "Network observability is a category of platforms and tools that go beyond device-centric network monitoring to provide truly relevant, end-to-end visibility and intelligence for all the traffic in your network, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or anywhere else.".

When running a business, the most crucial aspect for any entrepreneur or organization is to provide an exceptional customer experience (CX) and grow the business efficiently. Not only designing the best product or services but also a lot of things that an organization needs to take care of for delivering quality CX. In today’s digital world, customer retention is as necessary as customer acquisition, and organizations are working towards this path.

To contend with their escalating, intensifying demands, today’s operations teams must constantly be on the quest to boost efficiency. In my prior post, I offered a high-level introduction to DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) Monitoring Configuration Service (MCS), outlining how its key features can significantly streamline administration in large-scale enterprise environments. In this follow up post, I’ll provide more details for teams looking to start working with MCS.

We all know that cloud and SaaS adoption continues to grow rapidly, often outpacing budgets. In fact, spending on IaaS and SaaS exceeded budgets in more than 40% of organizations in 2021. As a result, network traffic is now spending much more time on the internet than in our own data centers. The internet has become the new enterprise network.

When considering application source code, the way you maintain consistency throughout environments is mostly straightforward. You write application code, commit it to source control, and then build, test and deploy via a CI/CD pipeline. Since the application is defined by the source code living in source control, the build will be identical in all environments to which it’s deployed. But what about the infrastructure on which an application runs?

For just about any organization, there’s a balance that has to be struck between absolute security and absolute convenience. Seemingly, every new innovation that increases convenience also introduces new risks. On the other hand, every safeguard instituted can also create complexity, delays, or in some other way diminish the user experience. Either way, businesses are exposed, whether to the catastrophic consequences of breaches, or of an erosion of user productivity and customer retention.
