Public Cloud Visibility

Build trust and peace of mind with the assurance that applications and services always meet expectations

You can’t fix what you don’t see: demand full visibility of public cloud-hosted applications and services

According to RightScale, more than 90% of companies use the public cloud in production, and nearly 40% make it their reference platform. Unfortunately, it isn’t as straightforward to know exactly what is happening when a public cloud provider hosts our applications. And it’s even more complicated when you multiply the number of different cloud providers you use depending on the services you need to run. Yet, we can’t effectively manage what we don’t measure. And you can’t fix what you don’t see. Multi-cloud strategies often open the door to multiple problems: security issues, unnecessary costs, and poor performance.

80%

of IT professionals say they do not have the visibility to monitor public cloud-hosted applications and services accurately

Gain control over applications as they move to the cloud

According to NTT Communications, 44% of respondents “plead guilty of insufficient planning by failing to understand application dependencies before deploying.”

Successful migration to the cloud begins with thorough planning and ends with continuous performance evaluation of the migrated applications. To do this, it’s necessary to have an accurate view of the existing situation before starting the migration, or a baseline, and also to be able to measure where you are at each stage of the migration.

Skylight provides high definition visibility of all network traffic and application performance throughout the entire migration process.

Analyze, correlate, and act on that data in order to realize immediate value

Visibility is complicated. You need to monitor network and application traffic from the end user and network edge, across the entire application infrastructure, leaving no performance visibility gaps. You can’t effectively manage what we don’t measure. And you can’t act on what you can’t see.

Skylight provides actionable, historical high-quality data, without the burden of storing raw traffic. It’s information that you can act on immediately. Captured traffic is 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.

Fast time to value and faster time to break even with a radical TCO model

For enterprise IT departments, the cloud is probably more of an ongoing challenge than a benefit, particularly when accounting for the known and unknown cost of migrating to the public cloud. Most solutions are not able to scale the data store to the size IT departments need over time time or deliver additional capture points, or sensors, at no additional charge.

Skylight unifies capabilities normally distributed in several appliances and products to reduce complexity and total cost of ownership.
