Network Visibility Architecture for the Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Enterprise
Reports
Introduction
This summary of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research explores how IT and security organizations use network visibility architectures to deliver network packets to critical performance and security analysis tools. It especially examines how organizations need to evolve their network visibility architectures as they adopt hybrid, multi-cloud architectures.
Network traffic data is essential to IT and security operations. Simply put, the data packets that traverse networks are the best source of truth about what is happening with digital infrastructure and services. With full access to packets crossing the wire, analysis tools can diagnose and warn users about security incidents, network and application performance issues, compliance violations, capacity trends, and more.
