Datadog, Inc. announced the general availability of Network Device Monitoring. This new product enables network engineers to monitor servers, routers, switches and firewalls in data centers, as well as access points in campus and branch office networks, directly from the Datadog platform. Maintaining either an entirely on-premise or hybrid environment is critical to the success of many businesses. For instance, some companies have made capital investments into data centers for security reasons, or have decided to run large static workloads, while others must execute their critical business processes as close to the edge as possible to ensure minimal latency. On-premise infrastructure can contain thousands of network appliances, and any one of them can be a point of failure. This makes it extremely important to employ a monitoring strategy that provides full visibility into every network component.
