Traditional Observability
In most modern environments, observability relies on three core telemetry types:
Metrics: measurements over time (latency, utilization, error rate)
Logs: event records with detail and context
Traces: end-to-end paths across services
Observability vs. monitoring
Monitoring typically tells you if something is wrong using predefined thresholds.
Observability helps you explain why something is wrong, even in complex, dynamic environments, by correlating telemetry with context.
Why observability matters for network-powered services
For CSPs, MSPs, enterprises, satellite operators, and AI clouds, the “network” isn’t just connectivity anymore, it’s all about customer experience.
Users don’t experience “network health.” They experience whether the apps they care about work.
That’s why observability must evolve from collecting data to delivering experience, context, and action.
“Do More” with your Network
Once you can explain what’s happening, you can do more than traditional tools:
