Kentik announced a new network performance monitoring (NPM) solution for today's cloud-centric, distributed applications.
Built to meet the needs of modern digital business operations, Kentik's NPM solution builds on Kentik Detect, the big data-based, SaaS network analytics platform chosen by digital leaders like Yelp, Box, Neustar, Pandora and Dailymotion. Kentik NPM also includes nProbe host-based and sensor monitoring agent software offered in partnership with ntop. Kentik's NPM solution delivers real-world insight into the network and Internet's role in distributed, cloud-based application performance issues.
Kentik's NPM solution offers the nProbe host-based agent that deploys rapidly into hybrid data center and cloud environments, and monitors network performance factors such as latency, retransmits, out of order packets, and packet fragments based on actual application traffic flows, offering the most relevant and actionable intelligence.
Unlike siloed traditional solutions, Kentik Detect ingests and unifies network and application performance metric data points from nProbe or third party sensors along with billions of NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, GeoIP, and BGP routing data points from network infrastructure devices. Kentik Detect's big data-powered ad hoc analytics, powerful anomaly and DDoS detection, and visualization of traffic over actual Internet paths and geographies means that engineers have a one-stop network intelligence hub for maintaining the highest application performance.
"Kentik's team came from digital businesses like Akamai, Netflix, YouTube and CloudFlare, so we're deeply aware of the challenges of operating cloud applications and services and the deficiencies of traditional tools to meet those challenges," said Kentik CEO Avi Freedman. "Digital businesses can't afford to go hunting for answers when user experience is on the line. Kentik NPM instantly answers the pivotal question of whether the network is the cause of application performance issues or not; and if so, what to do about it."
Kentik's NPM solution is available immediately.
