The world around us is changing. The cloud is becoming the new data centre, the internet is being transformed into an enterprise network and software is being made available as a service (SaaS). While these solutions provide the flexibility and agility that the modern organization requires, they also create operational blind spots for IT departments. The Cisco® ThousandEyes platform enables monitoring of all cloud and internet environments that customers and employees depend on.
Pillars of ThousandEyes:
1. Network path and performance
Path Visualization within the ThousandEyes platform maps network paths from Enterprise agents to service endpoints on any network - MPLS WAN, Internet, and SD-WAN. The tool provides a detailed view of network performance by:
- reverse DNS and geolocation data for individual nodes
- end-to-end and per-hop metrics
- line loss, delays...
2. Application performance
By measuring the page load time of individual web components or by using scripts that simulate user interaction.
3. BGP routing
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) monitoring allows you to detect peering changes, route flapping, leaks, incorrect route insertion, and their impact on application performance.
