Observability is a system property and telemetry practice that allows enterprises to infer internal system states from external outputs such as logs, metrics, and traces, supporting reliability, incident analysis, performance management, and governance across complex, distributed, and hybrid technology environments.
Enterprises should modernize networking with software-defined, open approaches like SONiC to cut costs and support AI-ready performance, scalability, and observability.
Alan Weckel of 650 Group projects AI networking could exceed $200B by decade’s end, driven by Ethernet fabrics, telemetry, automation, and open networking.
The blog recommends open, AI-ready networking for e-commerce, using SONiC, packet brokers, and AI-powered observability to handle spikes and improve visibility.
