In today’s hybrid networks, traditional packet capture monitoring conducted North-South is failing IT operations teams. North-South traffic describes client-to-server traffic that moves between inside and outside the data center.

But, North-South monitoring only provides approximately 20 per cent of the data needed for the critical application to determine the root cause of performance issues.
