The network observability solution is used to understand the internal state of the IT network to manage the overall reliability and performance of the infrastructure and application. Network observability can consist of various tools such as telemetry, data analysis platform, AI/ML, and AIOps. Telemetry standardizes the process of gathering data from scattered, multi-layered hybrid-cloud settings and centralizing it on a unified dashboard. Further, AIOps helps IT teams identify the root cause analysis, real-time issue tracking, historical data analysis, and automation to gain entire control over the network, allowing them to gain internal visibility while reducing manual monitoring and human interventions.
