Improved delivery, better visibility: How Accedian and VMware are working together to help CSPs navigate the 5G world
Adding a new dimension of visibility to the Cisco Full-Stack Observability portfolio with Accedian Skylight
Tools & Support
Businesses today face a growing dependence on their digital assets for success, and it’s no longer sufficient to just have a digital strategy–both B2B and B2C organizations require a hardened approach to providing seamless digital experiences that is always on and always delivering.
So how can these organizations, whether CSPs, government connectivity providers, or enterprises reliant on highly performant networks, ensure their digital assets are delivering on expectation?
Through the looking glass—to the finer detail and intricacies of the network below
Digital assets come in the form of business-critical applications and the underlying networks and compute infrastructure that support them. But, the growing complexity of managing these digital assets across multidomain and multivendor environments adds new dimensions of required control and often produces data islands represented by fragmented silos of observability across network, application, infrastructure, and cloud services.
Given the dependence on customer and user experience, the networks undergirding these critical applications must conform to stringent performance requirements, and those managing these networks rely on the visibility needed to rapidly detect intermittent and transient network performance issues that can impact digital business success.
Cisco Observability Platform unveils new innovations including Accedian Skylight integration
Today, we are excited to announce the integration of Accedian Skylight (now part of Cisco). Our integration comes alongside a whole spectrum of enhancements to FSO aimed at empowering customers with deeper visibility to improve overall performance and experience across their tech stacks.
“These latest innovations further boost the core capabilities of the Cisco Observability Platform, empowering our customers with better visibility, insights and actions across domains than ever before,” said Ronak Desai, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cisco AppDynamics and Full-Stack Observability. “Cisco is uniquely positioned to deliver all the benefits of observability in a unified platform to support our customers’ digital ecosystems.”
The Accedian Skylight platform focuses on the microscopic details, the interdependencies and intricacies, of the real performance of the network. We provide critical network performance insights with microsecond precision and millisecond sampling––that high resolution observability you’ve been looking for to ensure no microburst or intermittent issue escapes your notice.
Granular, real-time end-to-end visibility is why Cisco acquired Accedian last year, and it’s why critical network managers and CSPs rely on Skylight to ensure their infrastructure can support applications that respond at the speed of human perception, or machine speed. In the context of communications related to societal safety, health mandates, and security, observability of critical networks supporting the operations and applications of these environments is now a reality.
For our service provider customers whose product is the network itself, this observability provides the confidence to differentiate, to innovate, and to always deliver on Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Always on, always delivering.
Our granular network insights enable a high-resolution digital model to understand how network services are working in real-time across multilayer distributed networks. This visibility combined with the rest of the Cisco Observability Platform will accelerate time to issue resolution and provide a control loop for automated remediation of performance impairments essential to delivering exceptional customer and employee experience.
