SD-WAN, or Software-Defined Wide Area Network, is a technology that connects users across multicloud environments, branch offices, and hybrid workforces. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud services, SD-WAN has become essential for managing performance and security, especially since 43% of mission-critical workloads face latency and performance issues.

Cisco SD-WAN Analytics extends visibility across the SD-WAN fabric and multicloud environments, allowing organizations to quickly identify the source of issues and manage performance effectively. With tools like Cisco vAnalytics and ThousandEyes, businesses can correlate application performance with network health, leading to actionable insights and faster resolutions.

A significant challenge for organizations is the lack of visibility into data and data flow, which 28% of enterprises have identified as a key roadblock in cloud governance. As organizations connect to an average of 20 cloud services, the difficulty in pinpointing application issues and correlating performance with underlying networks becomes more pronounced.
