What does that mean exactly? You can have local agents to monitor your internal network, but this also extends to monitoring the network past your premises. How about if you could ensure your network is always working as you need it to - make it easy with ThousandEyes Managed Services. ![ThousandEyes Managed Services](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/ThousandEyes%20Managed%20Services/ThousandEyes%20Managed%20Services-still.jpg?width=1474&height=790&name=ThousandEyes%20Managed%20Services-still.jpg) What if you could have a ThousandEyes Managed Service to monitor how well your network is performing for the people that matter the most - your end users? This is the core aim of the ThousandEyes Managed Service. Related reading - [ThousandEyes](https://blog.iptel.com.au/thousandeyes) --- ## The Network Monitoring Business Problem Helpdesks are often confronted with difficult to answer questions, such as: - Why is the network slow? - My Teams keeps dropping out - The voice is jittery on my IP phone - File transfers keep getting interrupted [![ThousandEyes (Instagram)](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/ThousandEyes/ThousandEyes%20(Instagram).gif?width=199&height=199&name=ThousandEyes%20(Instagram).gif)](https://blog.iptel.com.au/thousandeyes)These kinds of problems are often viewed as intermittent faults – which are always the most difficult – and time consuming – to fault find. Without continuous network monitoring, you don’t know what your network baseline looks like – so it’s impossible to tell if anything has changed. The whole issue is complicated in that many network applications are now real time – or need a specific quality of service. Taking all this into account – would it be good to have a helping hand to manage all this and just let you know when an issue exists – and how to potentially solve it?

Many companies rely on Software as a Service as a major part of their operating environment. Reliance on the cloud, is – in general – a good thing. However that’s a lot of infrastructure outside of your control. DNS records update and as you connect to your cloud resources, things can change, so having a managed environment allows for tracking of this ever changing, external network.   Related reading - [Cisco Smart Licensing](https://blog.iptel.com.au/introduction-to-cisco-smart-licensing) --- ## ThousandEyes Managed Service Our ThousandEyes Managed Service is all about solving those annoying issues we’ve listed above. Your IT Staff have enough to do – if we can reduce their workload, while helping you offer a better experience to your users, we have met the key aims of the Managed Service. The service includes some key items: - **Baseline Monitoring:** - The key to quickly finding out where and how an issue exists. - Baseline monitoring provides the insight into how to remediate, as you need to have an understanding of the baseline in the network in the first place - **Monthly Review and Report:** - This is where the value really starts. - Having a monthly one-on-one review of your network and any issues discovered allows you to move from being reactive to pre-emptive. - You can finally start to get ahead of issues occurring and resolve escalating issues before they become major problems - **Application Assurance:** - Many companies rely on cloud applications which are distributed in the cloud – but also accessed from a range of branch locations. - The level of network monitoring has changed – it now has to be at an individual application level, not just on a network level – it’s applications that your users are judging the network performance on, so it’s applications we need to measure - **Fault finding:** - Issues do sometimes occur unexpectedly. - This is where you need to be able to quickly determine if the root cause is inside or outside your network - Regardless of where the fault lies – identifying the root cause is the first step in resolving the issue - **Issue Resolution:** - Once the issue has been identified, we can work to put in place the resolution - This could include routing around the problem, or working through other remediations As your network grows, you will periodically add new applications for your users. How do these perform across the cloud and all your branch offices? With our ThousandEyes Managed Service, we can baseline new application deployments, before you kick off a wider rollout. This process allows you to test out how a new application will perform, so you have confidence when undertaking a mass rollout.

Your internal network through local agents, plus the internet, cloud and SaaS paths between your users and the applications they use. ### Why Monitor Networks You Don't Control? With SaaS and cloud, much of the path sits with ISPs and providers. Without visibility, it's hard to prove where a problem lies. ### What Kinds of Tests Can ThousandEyes Run? Network path, HTTP and web transaction, DNS and voice tests, run from enterprise, cloud or endpoint agents. ### Is ThousandEyes Part of Cisco? Yes. Cisco acquired ThousandEyes in 2020. --- ## ThousandEyes Managed Service: Summary ThousandEyes allows you to monitor your network performance within and beyond your network edge. This is powerful as so much of today's workload is based in the cloud, which is typically outside of your control.
