It has been specifically designed to allow three-dimensional network observability across data sources, locations, and scales of deployment.

With increasing data demand, ubiquitous remote users are required to provide critical IT services, irrespective of their location.

In fact, IT teams need to run a GigaTest to ensure visibility into cloud-based Software-as-a-Service applications while understanding the service experience of remote users.

Thanks to automated analysis and scoring, IT teams can continuously monitor and manage the network of connections between data and end users. Backed by three dimensions of network observability, the innovative platform can offer visibility across private cloud, public cloud, and remote users. They also provide a plethora of entry points for enterprises. This enables enterprises to rapidly adjust to the evolving IT landscape.
