Compare GateSpeed vs. IBM Instana

The soaring demand for bi-directional content, comprehensive data, and swift processing has severely impacted network throughput, exacerbating congestion at crucial bottlenecks in data networks. GateSpeed's innovative network optimization solution enhances data throughput and hardware efficiency at these critical junctions, delivering performance gains and cost reductions that directly benefit the bottom line. Whether implemented at the network's edge, along links and load balancers, or within the data center itself, GateSpeed technology provides both single-point and comprehensive end-to-end optimization, essential for integrating into your long-term network infrastructure and development roadmap. Utilizing our cutting-edge packet-forwarding engine alongside a tailored Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), GateSpeed achieves packet throughput rates that are five times or more than those of standard Linux systems, and far surpasses conventional DPDK solutions available in the market. As a result, organizations can expect not only enhanced performance but also significant improvements in operational efficiency.

IBM Instana sets the benchmark for incident prevention, offering comprehensive full-stack visibility with one-second precision and a notification time of just three seconds. In the current landscape of rapidly evolving and intricate cloud infrastructures, the financial repercussions of an hour of downtime can soar into the six-figure range or more. Conventional application performance monitoring (APM) tools often fall short, lacking the speed and depth required to effectively address and contextualize technical issues, and they usually necessitate extensive training for super users before they can be utilized effectively. In contrast, IBM Instana Observability transcends the limitations of standard APM tools by making observability accessible to a wider audience, enabling individuals from DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, ITOps, and development teams to obtain the necessary data and context without barriers. The Instana Dynamic APM functions through a specialized agent architecture, utilizing sensors—automated, lightweight programs specifically designed to monitor particular entities and ensure optimal performance. As a result, organizations can respond to incidents proactively and maintain a higher level of service continuity.
