Hybrid network monitoring

Gain visibility and control over enterprise-scale hybrid network infrastructure with OpManager Nexus!

Overview

helps you monitor and manage modernized enterprise scale hybrid network infrastructure across local networks, private data centers, and the public cloud. It ensures continuous uptime with performance monitoring and intuitive network visualization.

Get started

Local area network monitoring

  • Monitor the health and performance of the devices in your LAN with dedicated SNMP, WMI, and API-based monitoring.
  • Keep tabs on the uptime and latency of network nodes and interfaces by tracking metrics like packet loss and response time.
  • Safeguard SLAs for VoIP and video streaming by monitoring metrics like Jitter, Mean Opinion Score (MOS), and Round-trip-time.

Wide area network monitoring

  • Monitor the packet loss and response time of individual hops in your critical WAN network paths.
  • Leverage network path analysis profiles to visualize WAN performance and to narrow down the exact source of a congestion in your WAN links.
  • Group WAN IP endpoints into region-based sites and keep tabs on details like the ISP vendor, availability history, and bandwidth utilization.

Public cloud monitoring

  • Manage cloud systems across diverse service providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle cloud, Microsoft 365, and OpenStack.
  • Keep tabs on hosted infrastructure components like cloud virtual machines, cloud databases, cloud containers, and cloud load balancers to optimize cloud performance.
  • Keep tabs on cloud-based virtual machines, databases, containers, and load balancers to optimize their performance.
  • Monitor key metrics like the CPU usage of your cloud services, user response time across regions, as well as the current and forecasted cloud spend.

Datacenter infrastructure monitoring

  • Monitor private datacenter infrastructure systems spread across the world from a single console with probes and remote pollers.
  • Optimize datacenter performance by monitoring key performance indicators for compute, networking, and storage systems.
  • Ensure smooth datacenter operations by keeping tabs on power, cooling, and IoT-based sensor systems.

Hybrid network mapping

  • Automate layer 2 network mapping and organization maps to keep tabs on dynamic network topology and performance.
  • Leverage business views and Zoho/Google map integrations to visualize distributed, enterprise-scale hybrid networks.
  • Leverage rack-views and datacenter floor views to visualize private datacenter infrastructure.

FAQ

What are the primary challenges of monitoring a hybrid network?

The main challenge is tool sprawl. Traditional tools often struggle to track data as it moves from an on-premises server, across a private datacenter, and into a cloud-hosted microservice. This creates blind spots where performance issues can hide. Hybrid monitoring solves this by providing a unified view of both physical hardware (routers, switches) and virtual cloud resources (VPCs, EC2 instances). By normalizing data from different sources into a single dashboard, IT teams can trace the entire communication path, ensuring that a bottleneck in a local firewall doesn't compromise the performance of a high-speed cloud application.

Other challenges associated with hybrid network monitoring include:

  • Getting in-depth visibility across the hybrid network
  • Monitoring network components proactively
  • Keeping track of application availability
  • Securing the network from hazards or privacy breaches
  • Monitoring connectivity between on-premises and cloud infrastructure
How does path analysis improve troubleshooting in hybrid setups?

Path analysis provides a visual, hop-by-hop map of the network path between any source and a destination. It identifies every router, switch, and ISP link in between. If a user in a branch office reports that a centrally hosted CRM is slow, path analysis can show exactly where the latency is occurring, be it a local ISP issue, a congested VPN tunnel, or a problem within the ISP's internal network. This hop-by-hop visibility is essential for identifying the root cause in an environment where you don't own all the underlying infrastructure.
