Cisco Full Stack Observability (FSO)
The digital transformation that accelerated over the last two years has heightened the need for businesses to provide new and reliable digital engagement models that meet customers’ expectations. As a result, applications are now central to the business, driving a rapid move towards cloud computing, further increasing complexity.
While it used to be enough to understand where the problem is occurring, it is now also important to understand why it is occurring and even more importantly, tie application performance back to business metrics so action can be prioritized based on business impact. This broader visibility requirement spanning infrastructure, security, applications and cloud services have created complexity beyond human scale.
Global technologists say
struggle to quickly cut through noise to identify root causes of performance issues.
are faced with more IT complexity than ever before and wrestle overwhelming ‘data noise’.
(Source: Cisco AppDynamics Agents of Transformation Report 2021).
face real business-impacting consequences of not having visibility and insight in the performance of the whole technology stack.
Full-Stack Observability allows DevOps, AppOps, NetOps and SecOps teams to work together and see the full stack of available data across the entire digital experience through integrations via AppDynamics and Thousand Eyes.
In combination, these solutions
Improve customer satisfaction
reducing time to isolate and repair to improve uptime and performance.
Lower costs
map dependencies between apps and infrastructure to optimise resources.
Increase resilience
proactive contextualise data and identify interactions, interdependencies and patters.
Solution description
