Over the last 3 years of my last gig, I built a little bundle we could deploy with tools across public cloud instances or in our data center. When I onboarded here at Kentik, they said we had a cool new product coming out to help uncover network-related latency. I was ecstatic! Was it network or application or OS related?

This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN). This data is useful for Kentik’s automated capacity planning workflows and building topological maps (layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity). This keeps employees safe at home.

The Corporate WAN is Rapidly Changing In the past, the majority of an organizations IT assets were located on-prem. The company managed its own data centers, and employees were primarily connected directly to the corporate LAN. Often, these solutions adapt poorly to securing the modern, distributed corporate WAN.

To quote: “Today’s typical NPMD vendors have their solutions geared toward traditional data center and branch office architecture, with the centralized hosting of applications.”. But you can’t do any of it without the instrumentation of cloud-friendly monitoring and the scalability of big data.

One of the more obvious, yet powerful uses for Kentik Detect is a dashboard that provides a comprehensive overview of network traffic across the entire infrastructure: LAN / WAN, internal data centers and public cloud. The Sankey diagram illustrates the utilization across datacenter zones, server IPs, and services.

In addition to legacy data centers, enterprises now have extensive assets in the cloud as well as in branch and remote offices and, increasingly, in workers own homes. This has necessitated a rethink of the WAN architecture. A basic security measure is to keep the attack surface as small as possible.
