Broadcom Network Observability provides full-stack visibility across LAN, WAN, SD-WAN, ISP, and cloud networks. It turns data from any source into actionable insights, enabling network teams to resolve issues before users are impacted.
Best for
Network teams manage increasingly complex environments spanning on-premises infrastructure, SD-WAN overlays, multiple ISPs, and cloud providers. Fragmented monitoring tools create blind spots, slow down troubleshooting, and leave teams reacting to outages instead of preventing them.
Fragmented tools mean network teams spend more time switching between consoles than resolving issues. Without an end-to-end view, fault isolation takes hours instead of minutes.
Network Observability provides a unified operations view that improves NOC efficiency, accelerates fault isolation, and reduces mean time to resolution.
SD-WAN and cloud migrations introduce new network layers that legacy monitoring tools cannot see. Teams lose visibility during the transition when they need it most.
Network Observability delivers multi-vendor SD-WAN and SDDC visibility, monitoring both overlay and underlay networks throughout the transformation.
Hybrid work environments depend on ISP circuits, cloud services, and SaaS applications that IT teams do not control. When users report poor performance, identifying the responsible network segment is difficult.
Network Observability monitors the full path from user to application, including ISP and cloud segments, so teams can validate whether the problem is inside or outside their network.
Results reported by enterprise customers including FIS (Fidelity National Information Services), Kyndryl, and Altice after deploying Broadcom Network Observability.
Rapid and accurate fault isolation across multi-vendor network environments. Automated root cause analysis reduces the time spent identifying where problems originate.
Correlates events across devices, links, and services to pinpoint the source of network issues instead of flooding teams with unrelated alerts.
Proactive performance metrics across network devices, interfaces, and links. Baseline-aware thresholds detect anomalies before they impact users.
Capacity planning and trend analysis help network teams anticipate bottlenecks and plan upgrades before performance degrades.
Application-aware traffic analysis that shows which applications consume bandwidth and how traffic flows across the network.
Enables network teams to optimize traffic routing, validate QoS policies, and identify unauthorized or anomalous traffic patterns.
User experience metrics that measure network performance from the end-user perspective, including latency, jitter, and packet loss across the full path.
Validates ISP and cloud provider SLAs with synthetic and real-user monitoring from branch offices, remote locations, and data centers.
All five monitoring pillars combined into a single operational view. Network teams see fault, performance, flow, and experience data in one console.
Eliminates tool sprawl and reduces the time spent correlating data across separate monitoring platforms.
How Broadcom Network Observability compares to traditional SNMP-based tools and cloud-only monitoring platforms across key network operations capabilities.
Network teams managing complex multi-vendor environments need a single source of truth. When an issue occurs, they need to isolate the fault in minutes, not hours.
Network Observability combines fault, performance, and flow data into a unified view. Automated root cause analysis pinpoints the source of problems across LAN, WAN, and data center networks.
SD-WAN deployments introduce overlay networks, multiple ISP circuits, and new traffic routing decisions. Legacy monitoring tools cannot see across these layers, leaving network teams blind during and after the transformation.
Network Observability provides visibility into both SD-WAN overlay and underlay networks, validates circuit performance, and monitors application experience across hybrid WAN architectures.
When users report slow application performance, network teams need to determine whether the problem is in the corporate network, the ISP, or the cloud provider. Without visibility into external network segments, finger-pointing replaces troubleshooting.
Network Observability monitors the full network path from user to application, including ISP and cloud segments. Synthetic monitoring validates SLAs, and path analysis identifies exactly where performance degrades.
Broadcom Network Observability is a full-stack network monitoring and observability platform that provides end-to-end visibility across LAN, WAN, SD-WAN, ISP, and cloud environments.
It combines five monitoring pillars — fault, performance, flow, experience, and unified operations — into a single platform, enabling network teams to resolve issues before users are impacted.
Traditional SNMP tools provide device-level metrics but lack application-aware flow analysis, user experience monitoring, and ISP/cloud reachability validation.
Network Observability ingests data from any source — not just SNMP — and combines fault isolation, performance trending, flow analysis, and experience monitoring into a unified operations view.
Yes. Network Observability provides multi-vendor SD-WAN assurance with visibility into overlay and underlay networks. It monitors SD-WAN performance, validates ISP circuits, and provides end-to-end path analysis across hybrid WAN architectures.
Supported SD-WAN platforms include Cisco, VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud, Fortinet, and others.
Organizations using Broadcom Network Observability have reported a 160% return on investment, 95% improvement in mean time to resolution (MTTR), and 91% improvement in mean time to identify (MTTI) network issues.
These results come from consolidating monitoring tools, automating fault isolation, and reducing network downtime. Customer references include FIS, Kyndryl, and Altice.
Yes. Network Observability provides cloud reachability monitoring, ISP validation, and hybrid network visibility. It monitors the full network path from user to application, including cloud provider networks, internet segments, and on-premises infrastructure.
This makes it well-suited for organizations with hybrid environments where network issues can originate in segments outside IT's direct control.
