Monitoring The Edge

A lack of visibility and proactive monitoring of end user experience hurts productivity and performance

Don’t let blindspots at the edge impact user experience where it matters most

Monitoring the core network is critical, but as you reach the customer and network edge, quality of experience directly impacts local application performance and end user satisfaction.

Up to 65% of network operations budget is spent on edge performance issues, driven predominantly by the lack of monitoring and visibility according to Accedian data. A high number of ‘no fault found’ and recurring ‘invisible’ issues keep the operations team busy, but not productive.

You may have the best highway in the world but if the on-ramp is full of potholes, the user experience is compromised. A lack of visibility and proactive monitoring at the edge impacts productivity and results in costly and unnecessary truck rolls.

Network security intrusion and anomaly detection 43% and network QoS performance visibility 38% were among the top capabilities that service providers are looking for.

Performance insight at the edge

Your team needs insight to be able to efficiently prioritize and solve the most pressing network issues that are causing applications to slow down and impacting productivity and user experience. 

Skylight provides complete end-user experience visibility for application performance from the edge, through the fog, and to the cloud and data center, with 100% of application transaction-level metrics provided.

Skylight is unique in providing both passive monitoring for the cloud and fog and active real-time performance monitoring for the edge which gives complete visibility for the entire network.

5G will multiply edge connectivity demands 

5G will expand the network edge to a new and unprecedented level of connectivity and performance with Gartner predicting more than 20 billion devices will be connected in 2020.

Managing local performance of business-critical applications will rely on complete visibility from edge devices all the way to the core cloud and datacenter.

Skylight advanced sensors monitor all the traffic traversing the network mesh and features high-precision microsecond microburst detection from the edge to the core network.

Stretch your budget to monitor the edge at scale

The sheer volume of low-cost edge devices and cloud applications that will need to be monitored is on a completely new and massive scale.

Cost-effective solutions that give complete visibility are needed, including the ability to actively test devices and monitor application transaction times between the cloud and edge infrastructure.

Skylight’s edge monitoring capabilities are able to capture traffic at scale by supporting thousands of capture points in a distributed architecture with a very low total cost of ownership.

“Detecting a problem with Skylight is actually much faster than writing an email about the problem to another team!”
