Contrail Insights
Juniper Networks
Contrail Insights enables operators to control and visualize how infrastructure resources are utilized by workloads, and plan adequate capacity to ensure application performance. Using Contrail Insights, operators of software-defined data centers have a toolset for visibility into operational performance and infrastructure resources. In today’s large-scale multicloud networks, operations teams must have real-time and historical visibility into their infrastructure to ensure service reliability and minimize operational costs. Cloud infrastructure is typically built in layers of abstraction and, as operations become more automated, performance monitoring replaces manual changes as the most common task. As telemetry data increases, however, and abstraction layers are peeled back to examine and troubleshoot the state of the network infrastructure, monitoring complexity increases as well. -
