IBM SevOne® 7.2: Enhancing Public Cloud Monitoring and SD-WAN Support
IBM SevOne 7.2 introduces a series of powerful enhancements aimed at improving hybrid multi-cloud and SD-WAN observability, workflow automation, and network performance monitoring. This latest release brings expanded public cloud monitoring capabilities, new SD-WAN vendor support, improved metadata management, device fingerprinting, and enhanced reporting functionalities. These updates solidify IBM SevOne as the leading solution for app-centric network observability in complex enterprise environments.
Key Enhancements in IBM SevOne 7.2
1. Enhanced Public Cloud Monitoring
IBM SevOne 7.2 extends its cloud monitoring capabilities with support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This enhancement enables enterprises to gain deeper insights into their cloud-based network performance, ensuring seamless hybrid cloud operations alongside existing support for AWS and Microsoft Azure.
With cloud adoption accelerating, businesses require continuous visibility into their cloud networks. IBM SevOne now provides:
Real-time monitoring of GCP workloads and infrastructure.
Performance analytics to identify bottlenecks and optimize cloud-based applications.
Automated alerts and anomaly detection to enhance cloud security and resilience.
2. Expanded SD-WAN Vendor Support
SevOne continues to broaden its SD-WAN capabilities by adding support for HPE Aruba SD-WAN (formerly SilverPeak) and Cisco SD-WAN. This expansion ensures organizations leveraging these SD-WAN solutions can integrate seamlessly with SevOne’s powerful analytics and reporting tools.
As enterprises shift toward SD-WAN to improve network efficiency, SevOne 7.2 offers:
Comprehensive visibility into SD-WAN traffic and application performance.
Enhanced diagnostics for faster troubleshooting and issue resolution.
Integrated analytics to help optimize SD-WAN policy configurations and network segmentation.
3. Improved Metadata Collection & Management
SevOne 7.2 introduces enhanced metadata population capabilities. This improvement allows organizations to collect, analyze, and utilize network metadata more efficiently, driving better visibility and decision-making.
Key benefits include:
Over 30,000 device fingerprints and enrichment data for providing better situational awareness for NetOps teams.
Newly curated metadata namespaces with authoritative content.
Faster correlation of metadata with network performance metrics.
Seamless integration with existing network monitoring workflows.
4. Streamlined Report Scheduling and Alert Analysis
New features in this release include:
Flow widget enhancements to improve the user experience, including Capacity Management metrics.
Advanced report scheduling options are now available “per user”, ensuring timely data-driven insights.
A new alert analysis side panel to facilitate quicker troubleshooting and network issue resolution.
Refreshed themes in Data Insight (DI) for an improved visual experience.
Bulk editing capabilities in Device Manager, allowing for streamlined device management across large networks.
These improvements enable organizations to streamline reporting workflows, reduce administrative overhead, and gain more actionable insights from their network data.
5. Expanded Deployment Options
Organizations now have greater flexibility with deployment as Nutanix is added as a supported platform. This expansion enhances the adaptability of SevOne across diverse infrastructure environments.
Statement of Direction: Future Changes and Deprecations
As part of its strategic roadmap, IBM SevOne 7.2 signals the phased deprecation of specific legacy reporting features in favor of Data Insight (DI), the preferred reporting UI moving forward. The transition aims to consolidate and enhance UI functionality, ensuring users benefit from a more powerful, modernized reporting experience.
