From Blind Spots to Business Impact: Master Hybrid Cloud with End-to-End Network Observability 

Fragmented visibility is costing you time, trust, and revenue. It’s time to connect the dots across your hybrid cloud infrastructure.

The Hybrid Cloud Network Observability Crisis

Today’s enterprises are all-in on hybrid cloud. They rely on a mix of on-premises infrastructure, private clouds, public clouds like AWS, Azure, and GCP, and containerized environments running Kubernetes. This environment offers flexibility, scalability, and cost control — but it also brings unprecedented complexity.

In many cases, IT and network operations teams are flying blind. They lack a unified view of performance across their entire hybrid infrastructure. Visibility is fragmented, diagnostics are slow, and issues go unresolved for far too long. The impact on the business? Delays, downtime, and dissatisfied customers.

So why is observability broken in the hybrid era? Let’s dig into the root causes.

Why Traditional Monitoring Falls Short

Fragmented Toolsets

Each cloud vendor offers its own monitoring dashboard. Add on-prem tools, third-party APMs, and legacy SNMP-based platforms, and you are dealing with a maze of data sources that don’t talk to each other. Teams waste valuable time switching between consoles, interpreting inconsistent metrics, and trying to stitch together a coherent view.

Incomplete Stack Visibility

Monitoring solutions typically specialize in one layer of the stack — network, cloud, or application. But in hybrid cloud environments, problems don’t respect boundaries. An app slowdown might stem from network congestion, cloud misconfigurations, or a dependency bottleneck. Without integrated, correlated visibility, root cause analysis becomes a guessing game.

Lack of Context

Raw data alone doesn’t help. Teams need context. Which applications are impacted? Which users are affected? What’s the business impact? Without this, teams are stuck reacting to symptoms rather than solving real problems.

Siloed Teams and Workflows

NetOps, DevOps, and CloudOps often work in parallel but disconnected lanes. When observability isn’t unified, collaboration breaks down, incidents linger, and finger-pointing takes over. 

Introducing IBM SevOne®: Unified Network Observability for a Unified World

IBM SevOne solves the hybrid visibility problem at its core. Purpose-built for scale, complexity, and hybrid environments, SevOne delivers app-centric network observability that connects the dots from infrastructure to application, from cloud to core. 
With SevOne, you gain:

• End-to-end visibility across multi-cloud, on-prem, and containerized environments 
• ML-powered diagnostics that accelerate root cause analysis 
• App-centric insights that tie network performance to user experience and business outcomes 
• One unified platform that replaces dozens of siloed monitoring tools 

Let’s explore the capabilities that make SevOne the clear choice for hybrid observability.

Key Capabilities: Clarity, Context, and Control

1. Unified Monitoring Across Environments

Monitor physical infrastructure, SD-WAN, data centers, cloud workloads (AWS, Azure, GCP), Kubernetes clusters, and edge devices — all from a single dashboard. Eliminate data silos and centralize visibility.

2. App-Centric Observability

SevOne understands network behaviors in the context of the applications and services they support. Whether it’s customer-facing apps or internal systems, you can trace performance issues to specific user impacts.

3. Real-Time Flow Analysis and Anomaly Detection

Leverage flow-based insights to visualize traffic paths and identify bottlenecks. Machine learning models baseline normal behavior and flag anomalies in real time — so you can act before problems escalate.

4. Scalable Data Ingestion

SevOne ingests data from SNMP, NetFlow, APIs, and more. Whether you are tracking thousands or millions of metrics, SevOne scales without compromising performance.

5. Role-Based Dashboards and Alerts

Tailor views for NetOps, network engineers, architects, service owners, and business leaders. Surface the right insights to the right roles, without overwhelming them with irrelevant noise.

What Sets SevOne Apart: Differentiators That Matter

Network-Native Expertise

Unlike APM-first platforms trying to bolt on network insights, SevOne was born in the network world. It delivers flow, and device-level metrics that others miss — across multivendor environments.

App-Aware, User-Centric Intelligence

SevOne ties infrastructure health to app performance and user experience. This bridges the gap between NetOps and the business, ensuring alignment on outcomes that matter.

Cloud-Ready and Future-Proof

Support legacy systems, modern cloud-native apps, and future architectures in one platform. SevOne integrates with leading cloud providers and scales elastically as your hybrid estate grows.

ML That Adds Real Value

SevOne’s ML models aren’t just buzzwords. They help detect root causes, forecast anomalies, and auto-baseline performance patterns — all of which reduce the need for manual intervention.

Designed for Scale and Speed

SevOne is trusted by some of the world’s largest telcos and banks. It supports millions of devices, ingesting billions of data points per day, while still enabling sub-second queries.

Business Benefits: Visibility That Drives Value

Faster Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)

ML-driven insights, correlated metrics, and unified dashboards slash incident response time. No more hunting across tools or joining endless war rooms.

Greater Service Reliability

Prevent disruptions with real-time anomaly detection and predictive alerts. Proactively maintain service levels and reduce downtime.

Enhanced Customer Experience

Poor network performance hurts users. With SevOne, you will spot issues before they affect customer-facing apps — preserving satisfaction and brand loyalty.

Lower Operational Costs

One platform replaces multiple point tools, reducing software and training costs. Automated diagnostics also free up engineering resources for higher-value tasks.

Improved IT and Business Alignment

Tie performance insights to business KPIs. Demonstrate how infrastructure investments support revenue, productivity, and strategic goals.

Data-Driven Transformation

Use data-driven insights to guide modernization initiatives, cloud migrations, and capacity planning. Build a future-proof IT strategy based on facts, not guesses.

It’s Time to Stop Flying Blind

The hybrid cloud isn’t going anywhere. And the complexity that comes with it will only grow. But you don’t have to settle for fragmented visibility and reactive firefighting.With IBM SevOne, you gain: 

• End-to-end clarity across your entire digital infrastructure 
• Intelligence that accelerates action 
• Confidence that your IT performance is aligned with business success
