Business-critical applications
require business-critical infrastructure
Who…
Enterprises are starting to rely more on public cloud infrastructure to support business critical applications and services, but as IT folks we don’t always understand or appreciate how vital or critical those business applications and services are until there is an outage and IT support is needed.
But when support is needed its not only challenging but near impossible to resolve problems in public cloud within minutes, sometimes can drag on for days with IT support credibility at stake and app owners and businesses feeling frustrated.
Nevertheless it’s hardly unreasonable to demand business critical applications supported on business critical infrastructure in public cloud. And when there is an outage, it must be resolved rapidly and efficiently. Having business critical applications and services always available in public cloud is a MUST HAVE and just saying the public cloud infrastructure is good enough is no longer good enough.
Why…
Because businesses need robust, enterprise grade infrastructure and toolsets to support their business critical apps and unfortunately there is a severe lack end to end visibility and enterprise grade troubleshooting capability in public clouds. And, it’s always a network problem! Or at least the network team is the first port of call.
What…
So how do we get business critical infrastructure in public cloud? At the cloud network and network security software layer more and more enterprises are moving toward using Aviatrix Intelligent Cloud Network as the business critical cloud network to support their business critical applications and help keep those apps up and running, and always available.
Why…
Because with Aviatrix you get complete control and the highly important end to end visibility of your entire multicolud environment.
So what…
Why is this important? It’s important because without end to end visibility you don’t have full control of your environment and without control, you can’t manage efficiently and/or optimise effectively. Putting it simply, you can’t troubleshoot quickly and can’t resolve production problems quickly leaving you at the mercy of the cloud provider to help resolve your problems. And we all know how that support call goes (I can’t see anything wrong in the cloud, it’s not my problem mate!).
How…
But with the Aviatrix system you get controls and visibility and much, much more. For example Aviatrix gives you Netflow AND Packet Capture (yes both) right out of the box. These two capabilities alone will quickly tell you exactly what happened, where it happened and when it happened across the entire Aviatrix Intelligent Cloud Network layer.
Anything else…
There’s more, much more, the Aviatrix system also runs troubleshooting diagnostics and will also report on the cloud native failures such as NSGs or ACL, VM utilisation metrics, link latency and more, it then spits out a comprehensive report showing the complete end to end flow between source and destination across the entire multicloud environment. It doesn’t stop there, the report also shows where in the flow the failure has occurred! It takes about a minute to run making diagnosing issues rapid and includes remedy to fix.
To good be true…
If you think this reads as too good to be true, it’s really not, effective troubleshooting is basic capability that every enterprise already has with on premise networking but sadly lacking with public cloud native constructs. But don’t get me wrong, you can get some of the capabilities mentioned from the CSPs, BUT you’ll have to pay lots of $$ for it.
