Five Cloud Deployment Mistakes That Will Cost You
With lack of visibility into how cloud resources are utilized, it's easy to make costly mistakes. This paper covers five network-related cloud deployment mistakes that you might not be aware of that can negate the cloud benefits you’re hoping to achieve.
Topics discussed in this whitepaper include:
- The risks and costs associated with redundant cloud-based services.
- The importance of avoiding “hair-pin” traffic routing scenarios when configuring cloud services.
- How to minimize costs by minimizing unnecessary inter-region traffic.
- Understanding the network behavior of cloud services and taking advantage of basic optimization, configuration, and compression opportunities.
- Recommendations for reducing Internet content delivery costs.
The State of Network Management in 2018
Businesses rely on their networks for nearly every aspect of their operations. If packets don’t move, users and customers are directly impacted and revenue doesn’t flow.
Read the results of Kentik's survey of networking industry professionals and review how organizations are addressing their network management challenges including:
- How network professionals assessed their organizations’ readiness to tackle networking automation and advanced networking/security analytics.
- Why user experience and data breaches are among the top network worries.
- How the proliferation of tools for managing networks and improving cloud visibility is impacting the enterprise and which technologies are most commonly deployed.
Immedion Maintains Always-On, Secure Data Centers with Kentik
With bad actors constantly looking for opportunities to disrupt or penetrate networks, real-time network visibility and threat alerting are imperative. That’s why regional cloud and data center provider, Immedion chose Kentik to help maintain high customer satisfaction and provide always-on, accessible, secure services.
In their search, Immedion found that on-premises solutions required data-collector platforms to be deployed at each of its seven sites, requiring significant resources to setup and manage. With Kentik’s SaaS solution, no additional resources were needed and all sites were covered. Plus, they were able to query their network data within seconds compared to the minutes or hours that other solutions required.
Read this case study and learn how Immedion achieved:
- Real-Time Visibility and Security Across Seven Facilities
- Significant Time and Cost Savings
- High Commitment to Service-Level Agreements
Cloud Architecture Best Practices: Using the Right Tools
Building a cloud application is like building a house. Without following industry best practices, everything could come tumbling down. Fortunately, Amazon established cloud architecture best practices, the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
This paper outlines their principles, "Five Pillars", best practices for cloud and further extends the Framework to networking — a critical part of cloud architecture.
This white paper will:
- Outline the AWS Well-Architected Framework: Principles,“Five Pillars,” and best practices.
- Inform how the Framework applies to networking — a critical part of cloud architecture.
- Highlight how Kentik can help effectively implement these best practices.
How to create and enforce a performance budget
Balancing website optimization and customization is always a challenge. While it is important for your website to look good, the performance of your website is just as important to the experience. The modern website requires features like personalization, analytics, chatbots, or even ads in order to provide customers with a unique experience each time they visit, but all of these features come at a cost. Setting a performance budget at the beginning of the design phase can help you find the right balance between adding needed functionality without impacting usability or speed.

The Future of IT Ops is Autonomous
Today’s IT stack is more complex and more dynamic than ever before. This means that IT Ops teams must support both the legacy infrastructure accumulated over the years, and modern, ephemeral technologies mandated by cloud-first architectures. Stretched thin, and relying on legacy IT Ops tools, IT Ops teams are unable to effectively do this, resulting in a rising tide of outages, poor app performance and service disruptions. This takes a toll on the business, IT leaders and IT Ops teams.
What’s the answer? Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). AI and ML can help IT Ops teams handle and resolve IT problems at scale, by intelligently automating various aspects of IT incident management. But that’s not all. Over time, as IT Ops teams and enterprises experience the benefits of automation, IT Ops will be able to move from simple automation to a more autonomous mode of operation. In this white paper, noted industry analyst Nancy Gohring from 451 Research describes how AI and ML help drive automation in IT Ops, why IT Ops will move from automation to autonomous over time, and key considerations for IT leaders as they embrace automation and autonomous operations.

Market Guide for AIOps Platforms
AIOps platforms enhance IT operations through greater insights by combining big data, machine learning and visualization. I&O leaders should initiate AIOps deployment to refine performance analysis today and augment to IT service management and automation over the next two to five years.
But which AIOps platforms can you trust, and which ones should you consider? Download this Gartner report to learn more.
IT Ops reporting is broken
This is a serious problem for IT execs.
They need to transform IT Ops to catch up with software and infrastructure modernization. In order to transform IT Ops, they must have easy and ready access to insight-rich, actionable IT Ops performance reports and analytics. But because IT Ops reporting is broken, there’s no easy way to do that.
