Cisco has announced a series of new solutions on the Cisco Observability Platform. With applications acting as the front door for nearly every business, and delivering a flawless application experience becoming a top priority for IT teams, these enhancements will help customers deliver a secure and competent user and application experience.

With application experience expectations at an all-time high, technologists can now leverage new digital experience monitoring (DEM) capabilities for both hybrid and cloud environments. The new DEM applications include real user monitoring and session replay modules for deep insight into the performance of browser and mobile applications, and efficient resolution of session-level issues. In addition, integration with Cisco ThousandEyes and Cisco Accedian will empower applications and network teams with the insights into service delivery required to identify whether the root cause of a compromised digital experience is the application, network or cloud infrastructure.

Additionally, Cisco has announced Cisco AIOps for Cisco Full-Stack Observability, for actionable insights to improve IT operations. The new Cisco AIOps application simplifies real-time business health monitoring and significantly reduces noise from events and alerts to automate IT processes and keep operations teams productive and responsive. The application unifies data from Cisco AppDynamics, Cisco ThousandEyes, Cisco DNA Center, VMWare, Zabbix and ServiceNow. It is uniquely positioned, having been built on the Cisco Observability Platform, which supports logs in addition to alerts, events and metrics. It also provides dynamic threshold-based alerts on metrics and events, and multiple anomaly-detection approaches.

Cisco has unveiled a series of new partner modules on the Cisco Observability Platform:

  • Aporia – machine learning (ML) monitoring
  • CloudFabrix – asset intelligence, operational intelligence and infrastructure observability
  • Komodor – Kubernetes change management
  • Perform IT – AS400 monitoring and I4Cube business performance
  • SoftServe – operational intelligence for oilfields

The Cisco Observability Platform brings data together from multiple domains at scale, including networking, security, applications, end-user services, cloud services, and multi cloud infrastructure and businesses, to break down silos by leveraging ML and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to contextualise and correlate real-time telemetry across these domains. This can help organisations better attain visibility, insights and actions to improve digital experiences for customers and end-users.
