Cisco Unveils New Innovations on the Cisco Observability Platform

Cisco has unveiled a range of fresh enhancements to its Cisco Observability Platform, promising enriched insights with a focus on business context. In response to the crucial role of applications in today’s business landscape, these updates aim to prioritize flawless application experiences for IT teams and users alike.

One notable addition is Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM), catering to the escalating expectations surrounding application performance. This feature encompasses Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Session Replay modules, offering deep insights into browser and mobile app performance. Integration with Cisco ThousandEyes and Cisco Accedian further empowers teams to pinpoint the root cause of digital experience issues, whether within the application, network, or cloud infrastructure.

For Kubernetes workloads, Cisco leverages extended Berkeley Packet Filters (eBPF) technology, providing granular visibility into network activity and resource utilization without the complexity of multiple tools or manual mapping.

Moreover, Cisco introduces a Unified Observability Experience, streamlining insights across its observability portfolio. This includes features like Log Analytics and Core Web Vitals, enabling operators to enhance log storage and address front-end application issues efficiently.

In a move toward enhanced user interaction, Cisco incorporates a Natural Language Interface powered by Generative AI, facilitating troubleshooting through conversational dialogue.

Ronak Desai, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco AppDynamics and Full-Stack Observability, expresses confidence in these innovations, emphasizing Cisco’s commitment to delivering comprehensive observability benefits to its customers’ digital ecosystems.
