Control the Chaos: The Rise of Network Observability

Today’s networks are becoming increasingly hybrid and complex to build and run efficiently. Companies’ increased reliance on the internet has recently aggravated the need to converge towards new methods to build and run networks. This demand has marked the birth and rise of Network Observability as a new paradigm. In this webinar, Greg Villain and Steve Meuse will walk attendees through a tour of how Network Observability puts network operators in the driver’s seat to face the challenges of an ever-changing economy and focus their engineering and operational efforts on what matters: Cost, performance, and reliability. In this webinar you will learn: • What is Network Observability? • Tools and methods for simplifying complex, hybrid network data. • The infrastructure decision framework: cost, performance, and resilience. • How to stay efficient in the face of tooling, team siloing, and process. • The essential questions of network monitoring.
