Proactive Digital Experience Monitoring

In today's world, it is becoming increasingly critical that businesses deliver flawless digital experiences. One slow down, one broken check out button, one failed redirect and a customer or user may be gone forever. Not to mention the underlying impact of security vulnerabilities, which are getting increasingly pernicious by the day.

As customer expectations are growing, so do the complexities of the IT infrastructure. Apps are hosted on-premises, in hybrid environments and in the cloud, and organizations are resorting to adding more and more monitoring tools across application, network and security teams, creating silos, tool sprawl and rising costs. And while 57% of businesses acknowledge using more than ten products for observability and monitoring, 62% admit they still have observability functionality gaps.* Not addressing these observability challenges can leave your brand reputation at risk.

In this session, you will learn how Cisco Full-Stack Observability can help break through the noise, silos and tool sprawl by bringing data together from across application, networking and security - whether on-premises, in hybrid environments or in the cloud, and provide intelligent insights and actions tied to business context. 
We will be joined by two Cisco customers who will share their own observability journeys and how Cisco Full-Stack Observability has helped position themselves and their teams as true growth partners with the business.

This calls for a platform that scales as your businesses scale and seamlessly extends to the ever-evolving digital landscape to give you complete control and visibility into your business universe.

Empower a new observability ecosystem with Cisco Observability

Learn how AppDynamics and Cisco Observability can provide a full-stack, holistic view of application performance, user experience, security posture and business impact.

In this session you will learn how Cisco Observability provides a holistic view of application performance, user experience, application security and business impact across the digital experience.

Full Stack Observability starts here

Most industries experience high demand and significant bumps in revenue based on the time of year and their specialties. For example, air travel increases in the summer which impacts app usage. As such, these companies tend to execute go-to-market strategies for sales and new product rollouts on a predictable schedule which gives cybercriminals the advantage of identifying a path of least resistance while planning attacks.

For those caught in the crosshairs at the busiest and most important time of the organization's year, the consequences of security gaps can wreak havoc. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn: 
How to ensure mission-critical applications are safe during high incident seasons. 
How to prioritize resources against the biggest impact.
What to do if an incident arises.

Security tips & tricks to stay safe during high incident seasons

Elevating and Securing Digital Experiences for Your Business

Applications are the business. Cisco gets applications. Our customers represent 100,000s of global enterprises building, modernizing, and deploying all types of business-critical applications including traditional/on-premises, lift and shift to the cloud, and modern, distributed (cloud native). Applications are the front door for virtually every business, and customers are under pressure to accelerate their digital transformation projects. Flawless application experience is a top priority, and 84% report that the need to maintain the performance of business application is now more important than ever. However, it is also more complicated than ever. Modern applications are built on top of microservices running on cloud-native and hybrid cloud architectures which are based on massively decentralized services, ultimately creating a complex and rapidly evolving environment. A small issue in one service can have a cumulative effect on the overall experience. The information and experience required to operate these environments is scattered and siloed across different tools and teams. This reduces the ability to identify, prioritize, and effectively address the issues that are directly impacting the user experience and most likely the business and its brand and reputation.  
In this session customers will learn about Cisco Full-Stack Observability which moves beyond domain specific monitoring into full-stack visibility, insights, and action, tied to business context, by breaking down silos and correlating telemetry across multiple domains, so organizations can effectively deliver always-on, secure, and exceptional digital experiences for customers and employees alike.

Elevate Digital Experiences with Cisco Full-Stack Observability

Applications are now the business and digital experiences are the new currency. For modern enterprises to deliver the experience that today’s users demand, full-stack observability is now a requirement.

In this webinar, experts from Cisco AppDynamics and CloudFabrix will share strategies for achieving observability across containerized, virtual, hybrid, cloud native and enterprise applications with a full-stack observability solution based on OpenTelemetry.

You’ll learn:

1. Ways to use CloudFabrix’s observability data modernization service powered by the Cisco FSO Platform.
2. Why OpenTelemetry (OTel) is the gold standard for observability — and how to simplify its adoption.
3. How to leverage observability to increase influence over decision-making in IT and lines of business.

Register now for the insights you need to unify siloed operational domains and further extend the capabilities of the Cisco FSO Platform with CloudFabrix.

The OpenTelemetry advantage: Your path to full-stack observability

More than half of application performance issues originate in the database, yet most application teams have little or no visibility into database performance.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how modern DevOps teams can finally gain complete visibility into application performance — from the browser to the underlying database.

Learn how Cisco AppDynamics Database Visibility enables you to:

1. Troubleshoot database performance issues in a live production environment.
2. Proactively detect anomalies and diagnose the root cause of database-related performance issues.
3. Continuously monitor and connect database and application performance.

Register now and learn how to get the database visibility you need to eliminate wasteful war rooms once and for all.

Improving app performance with deep database visibility

The growing complexity of highly dynamic and distributed systems is a double-edged sword for application development teams everywhere. No doubt applications are being developed, tested and pushed faster than ever but the sheer volume of data created by that process obscures visibility into application heath and masks challenges impacting user experience.

Join our webinar to learn how you can embrace the OpenTelemetry™ open source standard for any data source and leverage AppDynamics agents and industry-leading AI and ML capabilities for advanced, business impacting insights.

Along with an overview and demo, we’ll discuss implementation and how AppDynamics for OpenTelemetry delivers:

-Frictionless telemetry with ingestion from any OpenTelemetry data source
-Production-proven agents and telemetry to extend visibility into your technology stack
-A hybrid approach to business transaction correlation, between agentless and agent collected data
