Why Convergence In Networking Starts Below The Dashboard
The networking industry has long sought to unify monitoring and management through dashboards, but these tools have failed to reduce complexity or improve operational efficiency. A recent survey indicates that while many organizations believe they have visibility into network assets, fragmentation in underlying data sources like DNS, DHCP, and IPAM hinders effective action. The article argues that the next crucial step is to move beyond dashboards and focus on unifying the data layer, enabling AI to provide more accurate risk assessment and incident response by correlating information across identity, telemetry, and policy.
