In today’s hybrid-cloud landscape, the network isn’t just supporting infrastructure—it’s the vital artery powering digital business. As companies shift applications from on-premises data centers to AWS Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), success hinges on three core pillars: benchmarking to gauge performance, reachability to keep everything connected, and observability to truly understand network behavior. But traditional tools fall short—they either skim the surface with high-level flows or drown teams in unmanageable packet data, leading to blind spots, delays, and risks.
Enter Cirries DART AI, powered by the DART IQ intelligence engine. This solution turns raw packet data into actionable, contextual insights, helping organizations measure, predict, and even auto-correct network issues. DART AI doesn’t merely monitor—it comprehends the network, making it a game-changer for AWS and hybrid environments.
1. Benchmarking: Building a Rock-Solid Performance Baseline
One of the biggest pitfalls in cloud migrations? Starting without a clear picture of your current network performance. Without a baseline, it’s impossible to tell if AWS is an upgrade, a downgrade, or just different.
DART AI flips the script by drawing from the ultimate truth: the packet itself. Using DART IQ, it creates a detailed performance profile. Here’s what you get:
- Pre-migration insights: Benchmarks across on-prem, WAN, and edge environments.
- Key metrics captured: Latency, packet loss, jitter, retransmissions, throughput, and path variations—all without storing sensitive payloads.
- AWS integration: Correlates with VPC Flow Logs, CloudTrail, and Direct Connect metrics.
- Automated comparisons: Before-and-after analyses to highlight changes.
The payoff? A reliable foundation that eliminates guesswork, empowering leaders to make informed migration decisions with confidence.
2. Reachability: Ensuring Seamless, Real-Time Connectivity
In hybrid setups, “configured” doesn’t always mean “connected.” Traffic navigates complex paths through VPCs, Transit Gateways, Direct Connect, VPNs, firewalls, and routers—where misalignments can cause chaos.
DART AI ensures reachability by analyzing actual packet flows, not just theoretical routes. Standout features include:
- Live verification: Checks real application connectivity end-to-end.
- Deep AWS ties: Integrates with Flow Logs, CloudTrail, and EventBridge for comprehensive monitoring.
- Cross-domain detection: Spots issues like routing drift, asymmetric paths, MTU mismatches, misconfigurations, and regional variances.
- Self-healing: Automatically initiates rollbacks or corrections via closed-loop automation.
The result is a resilient connectivity layer that slashes outage risks, keeping your hybrid network humming without constant manual intervention.
3. Network Observability: Turning Data into Actionable Insights
Old-school monitoring tools spit out dashboards and alerts, but they rarely explain the “why” or guide the “what next.” That’s where observability gaps turn minor glitches into major headaches.
DART AI elevates this with DART IQ’s AI-ready behavioral models, combined with generative AI for deeper understanding. Unlock capabilities like:
- Packet-to-app linkage: Ties network events directly to user experience impacts.
- Plain-language explanations: Generative AI breaks down anomalies, e.g., “Latency spiked due to a Transit Gateway route change in CloudTrail.”
- Unified telemetry: Blends Flow Logs, CloudWatch, and CloudTrail for a holistic view.
- Proactive fixes: Uses EventBridge to automate responses before issues escalate.
No more reactive firefighting—DART AI predicts, explains, and resolves, ensuring your network stays ahead of user complaints.
