Cisco Unveils New Innovations on the Cisco Observability Platform
Cisco
announced a series of exciting new solutions - enriched by business context -
on the Cisco Observability Platform. With applications acting as the front door
for nearly every business - and delivering a flawless application experience a
top priority for IT teams - the latest enhancements will help customers deliver
secure and performant user and application experience.
Digital
Experience Monitoring (DEM) for greater visibility and insight into user
behavior
With
application experience expectations at an all-time high, technologists can now
leverage new Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) capabilities for both hybrid
and cloud environments. The new DEM application includes Real User Monitoring
(RUM) and Session Replay modules for deep insights into browser and mobile
applications performance and efficient resolution of session-level issues. In
addition, integrations with Cisco ThousandEyes and Accedian, now part
of Cisco, empower applications and network teams with the insights into
service delivery required to identify whether the root cause of impacted
digital experience is the application, network or cloud infrastructure.
Observability
for Kubernetes workloads, powered by extended Berkeley Packet Filters (eBPF)
technology
Cisco
offers observability for Kubernetes workloads on the Cisco Observability
Platform, using the powerful, lightweight Linux kernel utility, extended
Berkeley Packet Filters (eBPF). Operating at the kernel level allows operators
access to granular visibility into network activity, resource utilization,
application dependencies and misconfigurations impacting network performance,
without the need for multiple tools, cross-team collaboration and manual
dependency mapping.
Unified
Observability Experience for increased application insights
Cisco
is delivering a unified experience across its observability portfolio, with new
capabilities across Cisco AppDynamics and the Cisco Observability Platform.
Using a single account and shared context, the unified observability experience
arms operators with capabilities including Log Analytics, to search with
context and improved log storage; and Core Web Vitals, providing front-end
application owners the golden signals to keep their web pages from being de-ranked
for poor user experience.
Natural
Language Interface, powered by Generative AI
As
part of Cisco’s continued expansion in innovations powered by Generative AI,
the Cisco Observability Platform now offers a natural language interface for
troubleshooting. Operators can use conversational dialogues instead of a
structured query language to perform common tasks during troubleshooting,
thereby increasing productivity.
“These latest innovations further boost the core capabilities of the Cisco
Observability Platform, empowering our customers with better visibility,
insights and actions across domains than ever before,” said Ronak Desai, Senior
Vice President and General Manager, Cisco AppDynamics and Full-Stack
Observability. “Cisco is uniquely positioned to deliver all the benefits of
observability in a unified platform to support our customers’ digital
ecosystems.”
In
addition, Cisco is announcing:
Cisco
AIOps for Cisco Full-Stack Observability for actionable insights that improve
IT operations
The
new Cisco AIOps application simplifies real-time business health monitoring and
significantly reduces noise from events and alerts to automate IT processes and
keep operations teams productive and responsive. The application unifies data
from Cisco AppDynamics, Cisco ThousandEyes, Cisco DNA Center, VMWare, Zabbix
and ServiceNow (ITSM, ITOM and CMDB). It is uniquely positioned having been
built on the Cisco Observability Platform, which supports logs in addition to
alerts, events and metrics. It also provides dynamic thresholds-based alerting
on metrics and events and multiple anomaly-detection approaches.
Data
Security Posture Management (DSPM) Observability
The
introduction of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) Observability to
Cisco’s Business Risk Observability solution delivers real-time and automated
data discovery, classification, policy definition and compliance visibility for
sensitive data, in addition to visualizing and prioritizing attack surface.
New
Partner Modules
Continuing
the momentum of creating an observability ecosystem with its global partners
across categories including AIOps, MLOps, networking, infrastructure
observability and business insights, Cisco unveiled a series of new partner
modules on the Cisco Observability Platform:
· Aporia – Machine Learning Monitoring.
· CloudFabrix – Asset Intelligence, Operational
Intelligence and Infrastructure Observability.
· Komodor – Kubernetes Change Management.
· Perform IT – AS400 Monitoring and I4Cube business
performance.
