Cisco announced new software-delivered solutions offering technology teams greater visibility of what is happening anywhere across their networks, at any time. By integrating ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence with AppDynamics and Cisco’s most widely deployed switching family, customers can have ubiquitous visibility and the ability to fix critical issues across their digital applications and services.
As more organizations adopt SaaS and cloud-based services to enable business agility, they become reliant on networks and services that sit outside their control, such as the public internet. Although they do not directly control these domains, they are still responsible for service delivery outcomes. To solve this challenge, ThousandEyes delivers actionable insights into external networks and services so organizations can ensure seamless digital experiences for their customers and employees.
“Agility, flexibility and scalability have never been more important, leading many organizations to embrace the benefits of cloud-first environments,” said Todd Nightingale, SVP and GM, Enterprise Networking and Cloud at Cisco. “With today’s launch we are marking a milestone, putting the power of true internet intelligence in the hands of more Cisco customers, when and where they need it most. No other company can offer this level of visibility and insight.”
Following its acquisition in August 2020, Cisco is integrating the power of ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence with AppDynamics Dash Studio and the Cisco Catalyst 9300 and 9400 Series.

“Continued acceleration of digital demands, cloud adoption, and technology advancements are driving network criticality and complexity to new levels by the day,” said Mark Leary, Research Director, Network Analytics at IDC. “In this hyper-connected digital era, management solutions that enhance visibility and control across both internal systems and external services are absolutely critical to delivering the best possible user experience, resource use, threat protection, and digital readiness.
