Network compliance and automation, IPAM, Cisco ACI monitoring, and more—key achievements in network monitoring: 2024
At Site24x7, we’ve always been about simplifying the complex and empowering IT teams to do more with less. This year was no different; we rolled out a host of new features and enhancements designed to help you manage your networks with greater confidence and ease. From streamlining compliance processes to enhancing visibility and automation, 2024 has been all about addressing your most pressing network challenges.
With your feedback and collaboration, we introduced several exciting updates in 2024, each designed to address real-world challenges. For enterprises and C-suite executives, network performance is no longer just a technical concern; it’s a strategic priority. We delivered cutting-edge innovations in visibility, compliance, and automation, empowering organizations to drive efficiency and mitigate risks across their networks. We even gave you a sneak peek into the future with the early access launch of VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN monitoring, adding SD-WAN insights to our growing portfolio. Whether you’re optimizing hybrid infrastructures or keeping tabs on device performance, our updates this year reflect our commitment to making your job simpler and our tools smarter.
Here’s a look back at the highlights of this transformative year!
Network configuration compliance
Organizations can now ensure adherence to industry standards like Cisco IOS, SOX, HIPAA, the PCI DSS, and Cisco ASA or even custom policies with Site24x7's network configuration compliance features. These features enable compliance checks, flag noncompliance issues, and simplify audit processes. Staying compliant is now seamless, reducing downtime risks and ensuring operational consistency.
Configlets for network automation
Automation takes center stage with Configlets, enabling users to execute predefined tasks, like configuration changes, remediation of compliance violations, and routine checks, with minimal manual intervention. You can also configure the automatic execution of Configlets for threshold violations using our IT Automation feature. This feature saves time, reduces errors, and improves operational efficiency.
IPAM
Say goodbye to manual IP address tracking. With Site24x7’s IPAM, monitor and manage IP usage across your network dynamically. Identify conflicts, visualize subnets, and improve capacity planning with real-time insights, ensuring a smooth, efficient network.
Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure monitoring
Gain deep visibility over all your Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) networks, including Cisco-ACI-enabled data centers. Monitor the availability and health score of your Cisco ACI fabric and tenants to ensure a healthy network. This capability is essential for data-driven businesses relying on software-defined networking for agility and performance.
Cisco wireless LAN controller monitoring
With enhanced support for Cisco wireless LAN controllers, Site24x7 delivers detailed insights into wireless networks. Monitor critical metrics like the access point status, connected clients, traffic, and signal strength. This feature is pivotal for maintaining robust wireless infrastructures and ensuring seamless connectivity across enterprise environments.
Network mapping enhancements
Infrastructure maps provide hierarchical visibility over network topology. The Layer 2 maps are based on device connectivity, allowing administrators to detect bottlenecks, misconfigurations, and device performance at a glance. Our newly updated interactive maps simplify network management and problem-solving, making network administrators' jobs easier.
Enhanced network discovery and reports
Site24x7 has redefined simplicity with unified network discovery. Discover and onboard all devices for availability and performance monitoring, traffic analysis, and configuration management with a single scan. A discovery report is generated each time a profile is run, providing a clear overview of the discovered devices and their monitoring statuses.
What's next?
2024 has been a truly transformative year for Site24x7 as we continued our mission to empower IT teams with tools to master their networks. Building on the foundation we laid last year, we’ve made significant strides towards achieving complete network observability, ensuring businesses can stay ahead of challenges and complexities.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce even more powerful updates for 2025. Our software-defined network (SDN) and SD-WAN monitoring will expand to support more platforms based on your feedback, ensuring you have deeper control over your SDNs. SAN monitoring is also on the horizon and will deliver crucial insights into SAN environments. Plus, expect significant updates to network traffic monitoring and network configuration management, including enhanced capabilities to simplify workflows and improve network health.
Stay tuned for more updates as Site24x7 continues to push boundaries in monitoring and observability! As always, we’re grateful for your support and feedback, which drive us to innovate and evolve.
