**Best Practices for Incorporating Packet Visibility into Network Observability** 

### Wednesday, November 11 10 a.m. Pacific | 1 p.m. Eastern

Packets are the most reliable evidence of what happened on a network. When engineers need to troubleshoot a problem or investigate a security incident, packet capture and analytics tools provide the best insight into what happened. In fact, 42% of IT professionals say that packets and packet metadata have become more important to network operations over the last three years, according to Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research.

Despite this truth, many enterprise network observability practices neglect packet visibility due to budget constraints and skills gaps. Instead, they rely heavily on observability solutions that offer broad but shallow insights into networks, such as device and flow monitoring tools. This lack of observability depth undermines operations in multiple ways.

Join EMA VP of Research Shamus McGillicuddy and Allegro Packets Network and Application Performance Engineer Mike Canney for a presentation that will explore:

- Why packet capture and analytics are essential to a modern network observability practice
- How to select the right packet visibility tool for your organization
- How Allegro Packets helps teams overcome budget and skills barriers to deep network observability
