End-To-End Application Delivery

Abnormal application transactions are a pain to find in virtualized networks

In modern hybrid cloud environments, managing end-to-end application performance not only requires deep networks analysis capabilities, but also application transactional insights. Traditional network and application performance monitoring solutions are unable to provide enough granular insight: degradations can be caused by heterogeneous network connections like SD-WAN or by abnormal application transactions within virtualized data centers. Being able to correlate network performance metrics with application transactions is an absolute must for optimized IT operations, especially across disparate teams.

Traditional network and application monitoring solutions are not sufficient

It’s not enough to just solve performance degradations. It is critical to improve MTTI (Mean Time To Innocence) to put an end to the blame game and finger-pointing. It’s a business imperative to identify the root cause of bottlenecks so IT spends less time analyzing and mitigating technical issues and instead, focus on reducing operating costs and increasing efficiency.

Skylight enables you to instantly move from network performance metrics to transactional details and vice versa.

Stream to disk platforms are not the solution

Stream to disk solution vendors claim you need all packets to troubleshoot complex network-related degradations this is resource consuming and costly. While limiting the retention time, this technique cannot easily and quickly provide long-term granular KPIs.

Skylight metadata provides highly granular network performance metrics that enable complex network degradation analysis while preserving long-term granular KPIs.

Are you dealing with an East-West blindspot?

Generally, more than 70% of the network traffic is related to East-West transactions between and within data centers. Decoding these transactions at the application layer is critical for troubleshooting end-to-end application performance degradation.

Skylight analyzes transactions at the application layer for databases, web traffic, file transfers, Citrix, DNS, and more.
