Eliminating Blind Spots in Hybrid Multi-Cloud Environments

This white paper discusses the visibility challenges faced by IT and network operations teams in the context of increasing cloud adoption. It outlines how the shift towards hybrid and multi-cloud environments has introduced significant hurdles, including dwindling resources and a lack of control over network delivery paths. The paper details the concept of active monitoring as a solution to these challenges, contrasting it with traditional passive monitoring methods. Active monitoring involves sending test packets over the network to measure performance and gain insights into network issues, which is crucial for troubleshooting in complex cloud environments. The document further explains the importance of understanding both north-south and east-west traffic dependencies, emphasizing the need for IT teams to have comprehensive visibility into their cloud infrastructure. Additionally, it highlights the role of modern tools in enhancing network visibility and ensuring optimal performance across various cloud architectures.
