Software & Technology – Observability Using Cloudmon

18 Sep 2024

The Challenge

A technology services software company with offices in 3 international and 5 domestic locations, desired to ensure consistent and seamless access to their network services across its locations. They had increased the bandwidth at many of their sites, especially since some of their applications needed high performance infrastructure.

Their IT infrastructure included cloud services, on-premise virtualized servers and network connectivity using high speed networks.

Though the company invested in a reliable IT infrastructure with the goal of ensuring business productivity, the IT team however faced challenges as the company rolled-out their enhanced facilities:

  • Failures and erratic performance of their business applications occurred during peak-hours, leading to loss of productivity
  • Higher number of trouble tickets were received from users, despite having made investments in IT infrastructure upgrades
  • Finger pointing between different IT teams led to frequent hand-offs between them

Cloudmon platform and its benefits

After the IT team began searching for a solution that would help gain visibility of their network traffic. They decided to deploy Veryx Cloudmon.

“Deployment of Veryx Cloudmon provided us immediate visibility of the network, resulting in improved confidence in knowing and managing our network” said the IT head at the company. “We no longer have to monitor each individual firewall and network switch.”

“We began seeing the benefits of Cloudmon quickly, as our IT team began receiving alerts of potential failures. This helped us to be aware of problems before our users could complain and be pro-active in resolving them. Thus, over time we experienced higher mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR).”

“Cloudmon is a unified IT observability platform that provides excellent root cause analysis (RCA), with drill-downs possible when one clicks on the specific alert, down to the level of bandwidth utilization, protocols, applications, users etc.”

Quick Overview of Cloudmon for Network Monitoring

Performance

Cloudmon monitors LANs and WAN connecting to application endpoints with its synthetic monitoring capabilities, without the need for additional tools. Cloudmon measures availability, loss, response time and jitter and provides hop-by-hop visibility of these parameters to aid in fast trouble-shooting

Top Users
