Welcome to Packet Pushers Heavy Networking. SD-WAN has been making steady progress in replacing heritage networking technology with a wider range of choices for networking connectivity. Using public networks or the Internet often creates uncertainty and customers are looking for tools to know what’s happening before the help desk starts getting complaints. It’s common for SD-WAN vendors to offer monitoring as part of the solution but leaves the question … how do I monitor the rest of the network? Most companies roll out their SD-WAN gradually and operate it alongside their existing WAN. Today’s sponsor Broadcom offers digital experience monitoring that is independent of the underlying WAN infrastructure. We explore how it works. Our guest is Jeremy Rossbach, Chief Technical Evangelist, NetOps by Broadcom. We discuss: * Broadcom’s network monitoring portfolio * Why network engineers need a broader view of the overlay, underlay, and cloud in SD-WAN deployments * How Broadcom combines active, passive, and synthetic monitoring for networks and applications * Integrating user experience into monitoring * Pinpointing troublespots on service provider networks or in the cloud for faster MTTI * Real-world use cases of Broadcom NetOps * More Show Links: Experience-Driven NetOps – Broadcom Experience-Driven NetOps Technical Specifications – Broadcom 2023 NetOps Virtual Summit – Broadcom Broadcom NetOps GigaOm Radar for Network Observability – Broadcom Small Bytes Webinars – Broadcom WAN Transformation with SD-WAN: Establishing a Mature Foundation for SASE Success – Enterprise Management Associates and Broadcom Jeremy Rossbach on LinkedIn @JeremyRossbach – Jeremy Rossbach on Twitter
