Three Reasons You Need Visibility to Fuel Your DX Journey
IT modernization and digital transformation is underway across U.S.
federal agencies with an urgent focus on the customer experience,
cloud migration, operational efficiency and cybersecurity.
Driven by legislation, transformation must be among an agency’s top
priorities. With these additional requirements, IT and cybersecurity
environments morph in parallel.
Today it couldn’t be more critical to see and understand the current
network environment before and while embarking on a DX re-
architecture.
Agencies need visibility before they can understand how everything
in their infrastructure works, what needs to be upgraded, and what
needs to be changed.

Three Ways Visibility Supports the DX Process

DX involves investing in new technology. But many agencies
struggle to keep pace with constantly evolving and complex
environments and to get complete visibility across the digital
enterprise.
Fortunately, the network is the one pervasive resource that
reaches everywhere and can provide ultimate visibility. So,
when agencies have a better eye on what is happening
within their network, they are able to see how systems
operate together and where interdependencies and risk
exist.
Network visibility also provides rich insights on traffic
patterns (both cloud and on-premises), bottlenecks (delays in
data flow) and insecure areas. Like remodeling a house, all
of this intel can then be used to inform the blueprint (or plan)
designed to support a robust and secure infrastructure.
Highlighting Interdependencies
1
In today’s digital world, users, applications and devices
continue to grow exponentially, resulting in a data explosion.
In fact, by 2020, about 1.7 megabytes of new information
will be created every second for every human being on the
planet.
This increase in data volume, paired with digital
transformation technology investments and lightning
fast 5G and 100Gb networks, has led to a very complex
infrastructure setup.
Meanwhile, the dangers of cybercrime are simultaneously
escalating.
Data breaches have increased by 75 percent since 2016;
and this is despite a massive and growing investment in
cybersecurity software, which is expected to reach a quarter
of a trillion dollars by 2023.
Balancing Security and Speed
2
The influx of data, the speed of networks and the increase in
threats is the perfect storm for organizations.
Steering through it requires network visibility that spans the
entire distributed digital infrastructure, as well as having
access to all network data to ensure visibility for a whole
host of security and performance tools.
Specifically, organizations need reliable access to data
in motion to tap into traffic across cloud and on-premises
infrastructure and traffic flowing across the fastest
environments including 5G and 100Gb networks.
This type of pervasive visibility allows agencies to keep up
with the speed at which networks and departments run, as
well as with security demands.
Balancing Security and Speed
2
Digital transformation increases application complexity.
These applications can operate on-premises, in the cloud,
or both, as the network evolves beyond the physical
environment, becoming virtual and moving into the cloud.
It is critical that agencies have a clear vantage point from
which to view and understand the interaction, performance
and security characteristics of these applications.
The visibility must stretch across on-premise, private, public
and multi-cloud environments because, as the saying goes,
“if you can’t see it, you can’t secure it.”
Preventing Blind Spots in the Cloud
3
Whether it’s preventing blind spots in the cloud, balancing speed and
security, and/or highlighting infrastructure interdependencies, having
visibility into the organization’s network and application layers is
crucial for guiding digital transformation efforts, reducing risks, costs
and complexity along the way.
Remodeling an agency network is like re-architecting a house. You
wouldn’t get started without understanding the full landscape, the
entire existing structure, the goal of the remodel, and the potential
expenses and risk factors that could arise.
Harnessing the power to see is critical so there is confidence in
avoiding costs or repairs and rebuilding when the architecture falters.
