Your Internet Application is full of unknowns, which will affect its performance and availability for your customers. This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Catchpoint CEO and co-founder Mehdi Daoudi, Eric Wright, Jon Myer, and Alastair Cooke. Internet applications are seldom self-contained, relying on other web services for specialized functions and needing responses from the services before a final response to a user. Functions such as DDoS protection, tracking, embedded advertising, and other valuable services enable faster application feature development, but at what cost? Any delayed response from these services can slow down your application for your users, leading to dissatisfaction, even when your servers perform beautifully. Remember that the services you choose to use may, in turn, use other external services. Catchpoint champions user-centric monitoring and Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) to complement existing APM tools. Visibility of issues outside your data center is vital to identifying issues before they become helpdesk tickets or application outages.

Managing Hybrid Cloud Networks Complexity with Infoblox
Managing hybrid-cloud networks is complex due to differing architectures and naming between on-premises and the multiple public cloud platforms. This Tech Field Day Podcast episode features Glenn Sullivan, Senior Director of Product Management at Infoblox, Eric Wright, and Alastair Cooke. Each public cloud has a unique management console and network management paradigm; none provides deep integration with each other or with on-premises networking. It is left to individual customers to assemble a jigsaw of pieces into a coherent whole. Customers may not plan to use multiple public clouds, but through different project requirements or mergers and acquisitions, most large organizations find themselves in a hybrid multi-cloud environment. Combining fast-changing public cloud applications with on-premises applications further complicates network management, requiring an automation-based approach. Infoblox UDDI (Universal DNS, DHCP, and IPAM) provides a consistent, automatable interface to manage and operate basic network infrastructure across all enterprise locations. UDDI includes bi-directional operation where changes using cloud-native consoles are visible in UDDI and vice versa.

Hybrid and Multicloud Applications are a Headache
Hybrid-multi-cloud applications have become part of the enterprise IT landscape, but they give me a headache. This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Barton George, Mike Graff, Mitch Lewis, and Alastair Cooke discussing the dream of a single cloud provider being home to every application in the enterprise has long been morphed. The goal is to optimize applications by using both cloud and on-premises resources, but integrating different platforms is challenging. Services like AWS and Azure have distinct configurations, making a unified management console difficult to achieve. Some companies simplify by using a single cloud, but mergers or unique business needs often disrupt this approach. While hybrid multi-cloud setups improve efficiency, they also bring ongoing IT challenges.
