Modern computer networks are complex digital infrastructures that facilitate data transmission and communication. They power global markets, trade, and digital commerce. Any disruption or poor bandwidth can be highly disruptive, making network reliability crucial. However, network failures are still a common challenge.
In the past, network providers and large enterprises relied on monitoring tools to collect and analyze device metrics. These tools helped maintain uptime by detecting and addressing network issues.
As networks have become more complex-with the rise of cloud computing, software-defined networking, hybrid work, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI)-traditional monitoring methods have struggled to keep up.
To manage this growing complexity, a new generation of network observability tools has emerged. These tools provide deeper insights and real-time visibility, ensuring better network performance and reliability.
