Cumulus Updates Network Operations Toolset for Modern Networks

today updated its network operations toolset — which monitors the health of the entire data center stack — with features to reduce business disruptions and achieve web-scale.The toolset, called NetQ, is built specifically for data center networks, which increasingly includes containers and virtual machines (VMs) in addition to everything between switch and port. The adoption of microservices, containers, and VMs has added a layer of complexity to the data center and monitoring tools are struggling to keep up.
“As web-scale networking becomes the enterprise norm, so does complexity. As complexity increases, so does the need for enhanced visibility,” said Partho Mishra, vice president of engineering, product management, and global support at Cumulus. But, Cumulus provides visibility into this full fabric by combining three key functions in its scalable data ingestion engine: data collection, data analytics, and data visualization.
