The Network Traffic Analytics that Enterprises Need

These cloud technologies also are not handled by the legacy network monitoring tools as those legacy tools typically do not monitor traffic—or if they do, they cannot scale to today’s new data volumes, nor are they path-aware. And none of them understand application topology, especially when running in cloud-native environments.

This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN). When configuring traffic sources, the flow data is sent directly to Kentik over the internet, or it can go through kProxy, a Kentik client that encrypts the flow or Syslog data before sending it over the internet.

What is SD-WAN?

CATO Networks

Work is done in more places and the Internet has become central to how business is conducted. IT becomes far more agile, deploying sites in minutes; leveraging any available data service such as MPLS , dedicated Internet access (DIA), broadband or wireless; and being able to reconfigure sites instantly.

The business case for SD-WAN: Because MPLS is Not Fit for the Cloud

CATO Networks

That means making sure the wide area network (WAN) that connects branch offices, data centers, cloud services and SaaS applications can handle the connectivity needs of digitally empowered global organizations. Particularly with SaaS, many business critical applications are no longer hosted in on-site data centers.
