Comprehensive service availability monitoring

Visibility of end-user experience over networks is challenging, particularly as applications are further distributed.

Many factors impact service experience, even though the network infrastructure is available:

  • Client network infrastructure is available and functioning. However, end-users are complaining of slowness and an inability to access critical business services.
  • As critical business services move and change in line with a client's digital transformation agenda, ensuring end-users have a positive experience is paramount.
  • Additionally, internal IT teams need greater visibility into how users are experiencing business-critical applications and services, particularly as they move to SaaS and Cloud.

Service Experience Insights

Service Experience Insights are a way for clients to continuously monitor how their users experience accessing key business-critical applications – whether they are in the cloud or on-premise – from multiple locations on their network.

Service Experience Insights supports the following key use cases:

Continuous path monitoring including ping loss, latency, jitter, and ping round trip time between edge locations and SaaS, Cloud, or on-premise target

Speed test monitoring between edge locations and Cloud or on-premise targets

Internet path discovery and monitoring showing the route traffic takes from the edge location to targets


System Overview

Service Experience Insights provides an easy-to-deploy flexible system for continuous monitoring between agents and targets
  • Deploy lightweight probing agents throughout the network
  • Create sophisticated probing policies that logically map to the network
  • Visualize real-time and time-series monitoring data in a stand-alone dashboard or the NTT Service Portal

Comprehensive, high-fidelity, and affordable network service experience monitoring

Flexibility to monitor rapidly evolving network topologies and changing business requirements

Vendor and topology agnostic solution designed to address as many enterprise use cases as possible

Simple to deploy, simple to use SaaS-based platform designed to provide an observability layer on top of networks under management by NTT
