A conversation with the Tolly Group

Recently, NETSCOUT had the opportunity to sit down for an engaging conversation with Kevin Tolly of the Tolly Group, one of the world’s leading providers of independent validation, verification, and reporting services for the IT industry. The information the Tolly Group shares with its user community, from more than 100 countries around the world, helps companies better understand information technology vendors, their innovations, and specific competitive advantages in supporting specific markets.

The results of the conversation with NETSCOUT’s Eileen Haggerty, associate vice president, enterprise product and solutions marketing, is part of Tolly Group’s Network Visibility blog track and was published this month: “The Source of Truth Problem: How NETSCOUT Addresses Modern Network Observability Challenges.”

Responding to Explosive Changes in Enterprise Networks

The last several years of digital transformations have reshaped the way many IT organizations design their monitoring approaches. The complexity of multivendor, hybrid cloud environments has left many companies with incomplete visibility strategies. Reactive troubleshooting approaches are putting corporate business objectives at risk, impacting revenue, frustrating customers, and damaging hard-earned reputations. Overcoming gaps in observability, moving from reactive to proactive and preventive troubleshooting strategies, and data source choices are some of the topics summarized in the blog.

The blog covers a variety of subjects discussed, including:

• Value associated with different types of data sources
• Efficiencies in data processing to consider
• Gaining visibility in virtualized and cloud environments
• Achieving scalability to meet the different end-to-end application performance demands from remote locations to private data centers and other application hosting alternatives
• Evaluating business value
• The future with artificial intelligence (AI)

Flexibility in deployment and pricing as well as observability expectations in light of continuous network and application changes rounds out this comprehensive conversation.
