Why CloudOps teams should prioritize network performance monitoring

For cloud operations teams, network performance monitoring is a central task in ensuring application and infrastructure performance. If the network is sluggish, an application may also be slow, frustrating users. Worse, a malicious attacker may gain access to the network, compromising sensitive application data.

Despite having adopted myriad network monitoring tools, organizations still struggle to identify whether the network is at fault for application and infrastructure problems.

For these reasons, network activity becomes a key data source in IT observability. Teams need visibility into all dependencies and end-to-end traces for each and every session, including cloud and enterprise network traffic, to proactively identify risks to performance and security.

In this network performance monitoring handbook, readers will learn what effective network performance monitoring requires and how to achieve end-to-end visibility into multicloud and hybrid cloud environments.
