Network observability tools were built for a different era - one where networks were predictable, workloads stayed on-prem, and "visibility" meant watching traffic flows and device health.
That world doesn't exist anymore.
Today's networks span hybrid clouds, SD-WANs, and edge environments. They are carrying AI-driven traffic and dynamic workloads that change by the minute. Yet most NetOps teams are still relying on monitoring stacks that can't keep up.
According to EMA, only 43% of IT organizations believe their current observability strategy is fully effective. The rest face rising complexity, fragmented visibility, and slower response times - all while business expectations climb higher.
It's time for observability to evolve.
The Next Chapter of Network Observability
Join EMA Vice President of Research Shamus McGillicuddy and IBM SevOne Chief Architect & Strategist Brandon Hale for a fireside chat that unpacks five emerging trends every IT and NetOps leader should track:
Cloud-Based Network Management
The shift from on-prem to cloud-native observability platforms is accelerating agility, scalability, and integration with DevOps ecosystems.
AI-Driven Insights
Beyond monitoring - AI and ML are powering predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and autonomous troubleshooting.
Application-Aware Operations
Visibility must go beyond packets to performance. Linking network behavior to application experience is now a business necessity.
End-to-End Observability Across Hybrid and Multi-Cloud
Unified visibility across SD-WAN, on-prem, and cloud environments is the key to reducing blind spots and accelerating resolution.
AI Traffic and Workload Evolution
AI workloads are rewriting bandwidth and latency dynamics. Observability must evolve to understand and optimize these new patterns.
