That’s the challenge that NetOps vendor Selector is now tackling with an update this week to its platform. The new capabilities give network teams a single correlated view across branches, colocation facilities, on-premises data centers, and public cloud infrastructure.
“I need the same type of detail, AIops and observability for my network constructs in the cloud that I had to do for my data center, connecting to my branch locations,” Kannan Kothandaraman, co-founder and CEO of Selector, told Network World.
Closing the visibility gap
Selector is positioning the new multi-cloud capabilities as an extension of its existing platform, not a separate product. The goal is to let network teams trace a connectivity problem across the full hybrid path without switching tools or context.
That path can span an SD-WAN provider, a service provider circuit, a colocation interconnect, a Direct Connect gateway, and a VPC transit gateway before reaching a cloud-hosted application. Kothandaraman said most APM tools do not go deep enough on network path analysis to cover that end-to-end trace.
