What is Skylight?

Skylight is a virtualized performance assurance platform, delivering end-to-end network, application and service performance visibility—right from the user edge to the core network and cloud.

Skylight proactively ensures networks and cloud applications meet increasingly stringent performance requirements, optimize network capacity and meet demanding customer expectations on quality of experience.

Skylight leverages its high-quality performance data, analytics and machine learning to identify, predict and prevent customer-impacting issues.
