Cisco Provides Clients Unparalleled Visibility Across Applications and the Internet

Cisco introduced today new software-delivered solutions that provide technology teams with a better insight of what is happening all around their networks, at any time. Customers can have ubiquitous insight and the potential to address crucial problems through their digital apps and services by combining ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence with AppDynamics and Cisco's most commonly distributed switching family.

When more businesses embrace SaaS and cloud-based services to increase business mobility, they become more dependent on networks and services that are outside their reach, such as the public internet. While they do not have full authority over these areas, they are nevertheless accountable for the results of service delivery. ThousandEyes solves this problem by providing actionable information into external networks and services, allowing companies to provide integrated digital experiences to their customers and employees.

"Agility, flexibility, and scalability have never been more important, leading many companies to welcome the advantages of cloud-first environments," said Todd Nightingale, SVP and GM of Cisco's Enterprise Networking and Cloud. "With today's announcement, we've reached a significant milestone by placing the power of real internet wisdom in the hands of more Cisco customers, when and where they need it the most. There is no other organization that can have this degree of exposure and perspective."

Cisco is combining the capacity of ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence with AppDynamics Dash Studio and the Cisco Catalyst 9300 and 9400 Series following its acquisition in August 2020.

ThousandEyes Internet and Cloud Intelligence in AppDynamics Dash Studio: integrates ThousandEyes network and internet efficiency analytics into AppDynamics Dash Studio, AppDynamics' next-generation dashboarding experience. This new integration provides network, application, and cloud teams with a shared working language for easily isolating and resolving problems around the entire digital distribution environment, allowing them to provide world-class digital services for both customers and employees.

ThousandEyes Internet and Cloud Intelligence for Catalyst 9000:Customers with DNA Advantage and Premier will now be able to run the ThousandEyes agent natively on their Catalyst 9300/9400 switches and will have free access to ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence. Customers can achieve end-to-end insight with ThousandEyes, from deep inside campus and branch offices to apps and facilities across every network, to easily pinpoint problems and maximize efficiency.

"Continued growth of digital demands, cloud acceptance, and technical advances are pushing network criticality and sophistication to new heights by the day," said Mark Leary, IDC's Research Director of Network Analytics. "In today's hyper-connected digital era, management solutions that increase visibility and control across internal systems and external services are essential to ensuring the best possible customer experience, resource efficiency, threat protection, and digital readiness. The ThousandEyes integration with Cisco Catalyst 9000 and AppDynamics Dash Studio makes management easier for an IT team that is already under a huge amount of pressure, while still allowing for more precision in handling the network infrastructure and the many important users and applications it serves."

Beginning in April, consumers of ThousandEyes and AppDynamics will be able to access network and internet metrics within the AppDynamics Dash Studio without the need for external license or agents. ThousandEyes Internet and Cloud Intelligence will be available to Catalyst 9300/9400 customers with a DNA Advantage or Premier license in early April.
