Broadcom announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud on their new Cloud Network Insights service enabled by AppNeta by Broadcom.
Cloud Network Insights provides end-to-end network observability to help organizations manage application and network experience, detect issues and diagnose root cause across complex, multi-cloud, hybrid and agentic environments.
Building on its existing partnership with Broadcom, Google Cloud developed Cloud Network Insights as a first-party offering exclusively for Google Cloud users. With the deep network insights of Broadcom integrated with the scale of Google Cloud, Cloud Network Insights provides a comprehensive picture of all aspects of network performance for a distributed cloud application.
Cloud Network Insights benefits include:
- Network Experience Monitoring - End-to-end network path visibility to monitor critical network metrics that may impact applications. Determine application versus network-related impact to eliminate finger-pointing.
- Application and Agent Experience Monitoring - Agent and application experience and performance monitoring across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments in one place.
- Network Diagnostics and Insights - Reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by rapidly isolating issues and determining if the impact is caused by the network or application.
Cloud Network Insights helps improve operator efficiency by reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) while isolating the source of the issue in Google Cloud or third-party networks. Operators can take proactive action with synthetic transaction monitoring that identifies SaaS and web application issues before they affect users.
“As organizations increasingly deploy critical agents and applications across complex multi-cloud and on-premises environments, agent, application, and network observability has never been more crucial,” said Rob Enns, VP and GM of Cloud Networking, Google Cloud. “By bringing AppNeta’s comprehensive observability technologies into our Cloud Network Insights product, we are equipping customers with the end-to-end insights they need to proactively optimize agent, application, and network experiences and rapidly pinpoint network bottlenecks.”
“As a longtime Google Cloud partner, we are excited to support Cloud Network Insights to help Google Cloud users monitor and manage distributed agents, applications, and networks more effectively. AppNeta offers proven network performance monitoring and operates with a small footprint, making it an efficient and powerful choice for users,” said Serge Lucio, VP and General Manager, Agile Operations Division, Broadcom.
“At Broadcom, our global workforce depends on seamless connectivity to a mix of on-premises and cloud-based applications. We rely on the AppNeta technology behind Cloud Network Insights to gain granular visibility into that traffic, allowing our IT teams to isolate network issues from application issues immediately. It is exciting to expand this capability with Google Cloud to help customers gain access to this same level of observability to optimize their own cross-cloud environments,” said Alan Davidson, CIO, Broadcom.
Cloud Network Insights powered by AppNeta by Broadcom is available now through Google Cloud.

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
