Hybrid Cloud Monitoring

Comprehensive end-to-end network and application performance visibility for hybrid cloud environments

It’s impossible to fix performance problems that you can’t see

Spanning data center and cloud infrastructure is complicated. Enterprises are adopting hybrid cloud infrastructures for a number of reasons—agility, cost-effectiveness, and to respond to mobile access demands. This mix of clouds requires vastly different performance monitoring methods to achieve end-to-end visibility and to ensure an exceptional user experience. Most performance monitoring tools provide adequate coverage for on-premises users to the system (North-South) and server-to-server (East-West) traffic, but they are inadequate for East-West traffic visibility in the cloud.

It’s impossible to fix performance problems that you can’t see. Invisible, end-to-end performance issues spanning hybrid clouds significantly complicate performance problem triage.

Suffering from visibility gaps?

A hybrid cloud performance monitoring solution needs to span both data center and cloud infrastructure equally, without any visibility gaps. Interactions between every service, from the user to the databases, has to be monitored in order to ensure that no user transaction is performing poorly. It also needs to provide in-depth insight for resolving performance problems quickly.

Skylight gives complete performance information and end-user experience status for all applications and network transactions across an entire hybrid infrastructure. Powerful analytics that provide in-depth insight for performance issues.

Traditional performance monitoring in the public cloud is expensive

Capture appliances require high capacity storage as the volume of raw packet traffic can be an incredibly large, even for short periods of time. This is costly.

Skylight is a virtualized software-only solution that’s designed to deliver the same detailed level of performance visibility in the cloud as it does on-premises. It eliminates the need for expensive mirror ports and capture appliances and uses virtual TAPs or virtual switch SPANs to monitor network packet traffic. It can be deployed to new capture points in seconds – anywhere, anytime, and at no additional cost. This makes it ideal for multi-cloud configurations.

Skylight delivers 7x total cost of ownership improvement on any hybrid cloud deployment.

Don’t let hybrid cloud take away operational control

When straddling between public and private cloud or data center, it gets complicated. You need even greater visibility for greater operational control without the added toll on your network infrastructure.

Skylight is a disruptive hybrid performance monitoring solution covering on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud network and application traffic from the end user and network edge, leaving no performance visibility gaps through a lightweight SaaS deployment model.

The traffic that Skylight captures is processed and compressed, or turned into metadata, to drastically reduce the amount of captured information sent over the network – 20 to 50 Mbps for a full 10 Gbps link.
