Hybrid IT architectures bring significant benefits to organizations—agility/time to market, cost savings, flexibility. These benefits are fueling the hybrid revolution. In fact, according to Gartner, “75% of enterprises expecting to have hybrid cloud deployments by the end of this year.”[1] But, along with the benefits, hybrid IT also brings challenges, including less visibility, less control, and greater need for optimizing app performance over long distances. Effectively managing application performance in these evolving hybrid environments requires broad and deep visibility across application hosting architectures, complex networks, and end-user experiences. The complexity of multiple applications, clouds, networks, service providers, and end users everywhere all combine to hinder the application and network visibility needed to ensure optimal performance and a consistently great experience for end users, independent of their location or device. Such a consistent end-user experience is essential for everyone to work effectively and for the enterprise to perform at its peak.
