InfoVista launched a new version of its flagship network performance management solution, VistaInsight for Networks.
This release supports the growing adoption of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 and the Metro Ethernet Forum’s (MEF) newest network performance monitoring and management best practices.
MEF 36, which comprises a new Carrier Ethernet management information base (MIB), supports communications service providers’ (CSPs) service operations, administration and management (SOAM) performance monitoring, as outlined in MEF 35. The combination of MEF 35 and 36 enables CSPs to implement performance management best practices for Carrier Ethernet 2.0, which focuses on the three tenets of multi-CoS, interconnectedness and manageability.
VistaInsight for Networks 5.2 addresses the newest MEF requirements to help CSPs support multi-vendor Carrier Ethernet services, and delivers the performance visibility and sophisticated reporting that business and wholesale customers are demanding.
With the new version, CSPs can capture service and resource health and usage monitoring, and rely on early warnings and predictive alerts for pre-defined thresholds of service level and network performance degradations.
CSPs also stand to further improve customer acquisition and retention by empowering end users with self-service network performance management capabilities built into their customer and service level agreement (SLA) reporting.
VistaInsight for Networks enables CSPs and shared IT organizations to effectively meet and exceed performance expectations and service-level guarantees of next-generation networks and IT services. The actionable service performance visibility of the solution provides CSPs with the ability to rapidly support revenue-generating services by enabling a new level of control over the planning, deployment and operational phases of their next-generation IP networks.
VistaInsight for Networks 5.2 incorporates Layer 3 services, automated VPN discovery and geographical virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) data to better align customers and services with their network equipment devices. The new version of InfoVista’s unified service performance assurance platform also enables increased microwave support for Huawei’s RTN devices and hybrid packet optical platform.

Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...

For years, production operations teams have treated alert fatigue as a quality-of-life problem: something that makes on-call rotations miserable but isn't considered a direct contributor to outages. That framing doesn't capture how these systems fail, and we now have data to show why. More importantly, it's now clear alert fatigue is a symptom of a deeper issue: production systems have outgrown the current operational approaches ...
I was on a customer call last fall when an enterprise architect said something I haven't been able to shake. Her team had just spent four months trying to swap one AI vendor for another. The original plan said three weeks. "We didn't switch vendors," she told me. "We rebuilt half our integrations and discovered what we'd actually been depending on." Most enterprise leaders don't expect that to be the experience ...
Ask any senior SRE or platform engineer what keeps them up at night, and the answer probably isn't the monitoring tool — it's the data feeding it. The proliferation of APM, observability, and AIOps platforms has created a telemetry sprawl problem that most teams manage reactively rather than architect proactively. Metrics are going to one platform. Traces routed somewhere else. Logs duplicated across multiple backends because nobody wants to be caught without them when something breaks. Every redundant stream costs money ...
