Value of end-to-end monitoring

Today’s business applications are complex: – Virtualized environments – Hybrid networks using both in-house and Internet bandwidth – Interdependencies: other applications, databases, Internet

connected sources (e.g. supplies availability)

Monitoring only end points or only network devices only provides partial visibility

End-to-end monitoring reduces MTTI/MTTR Comprehensive monitoring reduces IT costs through better

utilization Proactive alerting across the entire infrastructure improves

system availability and increases staff productivity.
