ExtraHop Networks' EH1000v virtual appliance is now certified and available for the Cisco Unified Computing System Express (UCS-E).
With ExtraHop’s recent news that its network-based APM solution is verified Citrix Ready for XenDesktop and XenApp and Cisco’s and Citrix’s strategic alliance to deliver rich-media-enabled virtual desktops, this certification is particularly valuable for branch office customers running Citrix VDI with Cisco UCS-E.
ExtraHop’s UCS-E validation is another proof point of the ExtraHop system’s complete visibility for end-to-end application environments, from the datacenter to the branch office.
Managing applications and desktop environments across the enterprise is a daily challenge as applications continue to become more complex. This problem is only exacerbated at branch offices, which have few or no IT staff and are trying to consolidate IT to reduce complexity, footprint, and cost. Furthermore, while VDI is one way to simplify the management of routine operational tasks at branch offices, it also obscures visibility into end-user experience.
ExtraHop’s EH1000v addresses these challenges by providing real-time transaction analysis at sustained 1Gbps speeds for applications running in branch-office deployments, including virtualized desktops and applications. This approach enables geographically distributed IT teams, including Citrix administrators, to quickly troubleshoot application performance problems. A virtual appliance that can be deployed and managed remotely, the EH1000v delivers a small-footprint solution and a scalable, cost-effective option for monitoring application performance across large numbers of branch offices.
“Cisco owns 80 to 90 percent of the data networking market, so it’s great exposure for us to be certified for the Cisco UCS-E,” said Jesse Rothstein, ExtraHop CEO and co-founder. “This certification further validates our ability to deliver completely passive, network-based, end-to-end application performance management across the enterprise, all the way from the datacenter to the branch office.”
ExtraHop has joined the Cisco Developer Network as a Registered Developer within the Cisco Integrated Services Routers technology category. In addition, ExtraHop’s 1000v has successfully completed interoperability testing with Cisco Unified Computing System Express Services-Ready Engine.
The Cisco Developer Network unites Cisco with third-party developers of hardware and software to deliver tested interoperable solutions to joint customers. As a Registered Developer, ExtraHop provides a complementary product offering and continues to collaborate with Cisco to meet the needs of joint customers. With the ExtraHop 1000v, customers can more quickly deploy a broad range of Cisco Compatible business applications, devices, or services that can enhance the capabilities, performance, and management of their Cisco network.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
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 ...
