The document discusses how digital transformation is driving network virtualization through technologies like SDN, NFV, SD-WAN and multi-cloud. This transition requires new monitoring capabilities to provide visibility across dynamic virtual networks at cloud scale. Traditional monitoring solutions are rigid and limited. The SevOne data platform provides real-time monitoring across physical and virtual infrastructure to help customers ease the transition to virtual networks and technologies like Cisco ACI and Cisco SD-WAN. It provides a unified view of network performance and issues for improved service reliability, efficiency and agility.

Common SD-WAN Management Challenges
Lack of visibility of site-to-site
performance
Lack of awareness of new SD-
WAN policies are working as
intended
Lack of data to plan new SD-WAN
policies
No Unified Views for transition from
MPLS to SD-WAN
Multiple tools monitoring the
legacy MPLS and new SD-WAN
creating silos of data
Additional complexity can
turn a minor issue in a major one
Unable to measure the utilization of legacy
WAN and SD-WAN as a single system to
make decisions regarding budget and cost
optimization
Unable to measure effectiveness of new
SD-WAN investment
