Key Visibility Gaps in Today’s Multi-Cloud Environments

All with Catchpoint and VMware Tanzu Observability

You’ve checked your application's health status, and everything looks good. But your users still can’t reach the cloud service. That’s usually the point when SRE and DevOps teams are called in to help.

But the only way they can set the record straight is with data—and lots of it. That includes anything from metrics, histograms, traces, and span logs to verify service uptime, to being able to identify issues within specific regions, browsers, and devices, track service performance, and manage SLAs and SLOs.

In this webinar, we’ll show you how Catchpoint and VMware Tanzu Observability work in tandem to do just that by:

- Optimizing business success with enterprise observability. We’ll show how you can combine visibility with your website traffic, so you can simulate (or view real-time) users' behavior with advanced analytics across the stack.
- Proactively identifying customer-facing issues. This includes customer experience testing and synthetic testing to distributed tracing, Kubernetes monitoring, and multi-cloud infrastructure layers.

ontent Delivery Networks are keen on enhancing the user experience on websites and mobile apps. But how can we tell if your CDN is really performing well without monitoring and analyzing the digital experience of your platform? After all, it's all about data. While some CDN monitoring practices are widely-known, it is time to explore new trends that will perhaps shape the future of the UX. On this joint webinar, Serkan Sevim, CEO at Medianova, along with Mehdi Daoudi, Co-founder and CEO at Catchpoint have been exchanging views on CDN monitoring future trends that could lie ahead.

The only way to ensure services, products, and features arrive to end users intact is with proactive testing of the CDNs, private and public networks, ISPs, and other third-party components that form your digital service delivery chain.

In this on-demand presentation Brandon DeLap, Senior Solution Engineer, will present ways of leveraging CDN testing to solve common service delivery problems. Specific topics covered in this session will include:

How to detect single CDN failures in a Multi-CDN infrastructure.

How to test last-mile and wireless network reachability using CDN/Origin tests.

How to test the impact cache hit / miss ratio has on load time performance.

How to debug CDN headers to troubleshoot DNS timeouts and test specific servers to identify source of problem.

The focus on availability and performance distracts from the more complex process of monitoring service reliability. But just because something is difficult doesn't mean it's impossible.

This on-demand webcast spotlights Digital Experience Monitoring's simplified approach to service reliability. Zachary Henderson, Senior Solution Engineer, will share real-world scenarios where DEM can be leveraged to improve service reliability.

In this webcast, we'll cover:

CDN mapping to ensure global service consistency
Network Error Logging to capture user's perceived reliability
Multi-dimensional data analytics to identify historical reliability patterns

If your monitoring and testing doesn't match the distribution of your end users, then it's time to make some changes. In this on-demand webinar, web test experts will share specific tests to run for optimizing user experience, service delivery, and underlying infrastructure.

After this session you'll better understand:

- How to run browser tests to capture telemetry on top-line experience
- How to leverage multiple tests to improve performance in China
- How to pinpoint infrastructure latency, functionality, and security issues using API, DNS, and SSL tests.

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are a core component of your service delivery infrastructure, yet many organizations are blindsided when poor CDN service causes performance and availability problems.

In this webinar, CDN experts from eBay, Walmart, and Catchpoint sharing first-hand tips and best practices for improving CDN service delivery.

You’ll leave this session understanding:
- The Benefits of a CDN or Multi-CDN Infrastructure
- Different Evaluation Processes for Selecting CDN Vendors
- How to Eliminate Visibility Gaps in CDN Infrastructure
- Where to Monitor Regional and Global CDN Performance

Most enterprises are in some stage of data transformation. While many are in the process of meeting their transformative goals, there are some network visibility gaps impacting the user experience and enterprise strategic initiatives. In this session, Catchpoint will discuss these persistent visibility gaps and share a few use cases of how enterprises are able to properly monitor the user experience. As organizations migrate to new infrastructure services and adopt new technologies, there are 3 core monitoring challenges:

•Shifting to a more distributed workforce.

•Relying on third-party services and networks.

•Observing the end-to-end user experience.

With the global shift to remote work and increasing usage of SaaS, it’s time to talk about the mounting pressure on IT and business leaders to deliver seamless digital experiences for their distributed teams. So, we’ve asked the experts to weigh in.

On October 31st, 2019 Dynatrace retired the Gomez platform and abandoned all their ISP and backbone testing locations in favor for the new Dynatrace Synthetic cloud-only infrastructure. Visibility into key components of the delivery chain and ultimately their end users’ experience plummeted because of the lack of physical vantage points and limited cloud testing locations.

Join us for a discussion with Kurt Schneider, Domain Architect at Discover Financial and Louis Oliver, Senior Technical Consultant at Mary Kay about:
•The importance of an expansive monitoring network for successful synthetic monitoring
•Lack of visibility stemming from eliminating physical vantage points, reduced cloud testing locations, and limited connection types
•What backbone testing locations allow you to see
•Technical advantage use cases
•Experience migrating to Catchpoint
