When the Pandemic hit our World, two years back, everyone's life changed. There was an unexpected and a sudden shift from what we were accustomed to and everything started to seem way more complicated and unconventional. This was certainly not just restricted to how we lived or how we dealt with various stuff on a day to day basis, but it tremendously transformed the Digital World as well. With the increasing consumer demand, companies started "digitally delivering" every little thing possible. And to manifest the idea of this Digital only world, the door opened to tons and tons of distributed applications. Businesses were in distress and there was an obvious IT complexity. There were blind spots the IT teams were dealing with on an everyday basis and they needed to see more to do more.

The Advent of Full Stack observability from Cisco: Moving beyond domain monitoring

As per recent statistics, there will be close to 500M new applications in the next 3 years and 80% of customer interactions will be digital. Customers are craving for unmatched application experience and IT teams can no longer depend on short term solutions. Even with the heaps of "Data Noise", they need to make every decision faster with accurate real time data. Full-stack observability provided by Cisco solutions, helps our customers move beyond domain monitoring and gain full-stack visibility, insights, and actions. Application performance can now be correlated across the entire technology stack, helping the IT teams to be proactive in solving issues and in turn optimize application experiences.
