Network observability is more than just the capture of wire data. True network observability means understanding the how and why of network performance in support of business goals – all while delivering the right data as actionable metrics. In the recent VIAVI Perspectives blog, 5 Steps to Network Observability Checklist, the critical and actionable network […]
To keep up with the complex, hybrid networks of today, organizations must have a comprehensive network observability platform that embraces wire data, enriched and enhanced flow, and cloud sources to ensure optimal application delivery to stakeholders. That digital innovation requires a reliable and secure network foundation to deliver its promise – starting with basic observability. […]
As high-bandwidth requirements continue to rise over the last few years, multiple system operators (MSOs) transform their hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks. Available architectures, such as DOCSIS 3.1 and Remote PHY, rely on fiber-based bandwidth deep into the cable television (CATV) network, which is why countless operators aim to create Node+0 architectures via “fiber deep” initiatives. […]
Over the next few years, vendors in the network performance management industry will accelerate their pace of innovation to serve the rapidly shifting requirements of IT operations teams. Network performance management (NPM) is a mature market, with a core set of tried-and-true techniques for collecting and analyzing data from on-premises network infrastructure. But Enterprise Management […]

There is a critical service delivery issue and IT leadership pulls together a tiger team of 8-10 people into a war room session — several network engineers, a few developers, some security analysts, and the CTO are included. Within the first 20 minutes, the network engineering team […]
Network capacity planning is an ongoing process that involves continually assessing network utilization, traffic volumes, and traffic type to identify shortcomings like performance chokepoints that can affect the end-user’s experience. Without investing in capacity planning measures, organizations risk decreased employee productivity from degraded network performance, Service-Level Agreements not being met, and ultimately a poor experience […]
Telecommunication networks play an integral part in facilitating the operations of a wider global market. As such, they are expected to handle large loads of bandwidth at a rapid pace, while maintaining data integrity. Ensuring that the software provided by telecoms companies works flawlessly is of paramount importance. One way to do so is by […]
Turbulent – the word most people use to describe the last 12 months. The nicely protected corporate networks have been turned inside-out by the effects of the global pandemic. Unplanned, universal remote working has put every employee outside of the trusted network perimeter, including the IT team, creating a host of new challenges – and […]
In order to keep pace with the ever-increasing user expectations for instant access to information, operators need the agility to scale on demand, make changes quickly, and launch innovative products and services as required. As such, network operators are leading the path to an open architecture like Open RAN for its ability to provide a […]
