SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions
Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today unveiled significant updates to
the Observer Platform, further enhancing the comprehensive network
performance monitoring and diagnostics (NPMD) solution. Observer
18.3 helps network operations (NetOps) teams maintain peak
performance of all IT services, despite the growing work from
anywhere (WFX) trend.
As IT teams struggle to handle the explosion in remote work,
they are confronting critical challenges that extend beyond network
visibility and remote troubleshooting. Difficulty in capacity
planning and demand management can lead to increased performance
issues due to lack of available resources as well as network
constraints caused by unplanned traffic. Proactive capacity
planning doesn't just depend on how much network data is available,
but how that data is represented. Too much raw data that is not
properly visualized, such as a month-long trending view of WAN
utilization, ends up hiding critical information about when and
where traffic spikes occur.
Two solutions within the Observer Platform have been enhanced to
address these challenges and more. Observer GigaFlow now delivers
new intuitive, color-coded capacity planning reports that present
usage and utilization insights in a format that is easy to
interpret, simplifying proactive assessments for strategic WAN
spending decisions, while enabling reactive resolution of
capacity-related issues. Plus, NetOps can quickly gain insight into
which applications are causing peak capacity usage to discern
between critical work-related traffic and non-business apps, such
as Facebook.
Also included is a new Observer Apex Enterprise appliance with
higher scale capacity and software optimizations for faster user
interface render time at larger ingest rates. Apex Enterprise
builds on the popular Apex performance management solution that
leverages End-User Experience Scoring and advanced threat
intelligence to deliver unified, comprehensive visibility into IT
resource health and status.
Key Enhancements
- GigaFlow Workflows and Reports
-
- Device and site-based workflows with improved capacity
reporting for WAN links, and alarms based on traffic volume.
- Apex Enterprise Appliance
-
- Larger hardware appliance and software optimizations enable
increased scalability, reducing end-user performance issues and
trouble tickets.
- Server 2016 Support
-
- Support for Windows 2016 deployments for Apex, GigaFlow,
GigaStor and Observer Management Server.
"Most IT teams are caught in a never-ending cycle of
firefighting, reacting to performance issues and fighting to secure
the necessary resources. Proactive capacity planning and demand
management can resolve many of these headaches," said Charles Thompson, Vice President and General
Manager, Enterprise and Cloud, VIAVI. "The enhanced Observer
Platform takes on network capacity challenges to simplify the
strategic allocation of WAN bandwidth, and eases the burden of
managing performance issues, no matter where and when remote
workers are accessing the network."
