Bigeye is a data observability platform that allows teams to measure, improve and communicate data quality at any scale. A data quality problem can cause an outage that causes trust in the data. Bigeye starts with monitoring to rebuild trust. Before executives see it in a dashboard, find missing or broken reporting data. Before models are retrained, be aware of potential issues in training data. You need to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling that most data is correct most of the time. The status of a pipeline job doesn't tell the entire story. Monitoring the actual data is the best way to make sure data is available for use. Monitoring data-level freshness will ensure that pipelines run on schedule even when ETL orchestrators are down. Learn about any changes in event names, region codes or product types and other categorical data. To ensure that everything is working as it should, detect drops or spikes of row counts, nulls, or blank values.

Everything is interconnected in dynamic and distributed environments. IT teams still rely upon siloed tools to manage their performance. They deal with too much data, not enough sampled data, and thousands upon thousands of alerts that offer little context or provide no actionable insights. Troubleshooting requires highly skilled IT staff and war rooms to manually investigate issues across domains. There must be a better way. Riverbed is working towards delivering an observability system that unifies data and insights for all IT. IT can eliminate alert fatigue, data silos, war rooms and war rooms with unified observability. They can facilitate more effective decision-making across domains and apply expert knowledge more broadly to continuously improve the digital experience as well as business performance. Alluvio, a SaaS-based and open-source solution, captures full-fidelity data about the user experience, application and network performance for every transaction in the digital enterprise.

Complex IT environments and applications can make it difficult to see performance. They often span traditional data center, SaaS and IaaS clouds. Companies that adopt a traditional, siloed management approach often have a fragmented and incomplete view of their performance. IT spends a lot time analysing data, but comes up with different conclusions about the causes of performance problems. Alluvio Portal integrates performance data telemetry to provide a dynamic, centralized view of performance. This holistic view provides IT Ops teams with a single source for truth to accelerate troubleshooting and provide meaningful data to all stakeholders. IT can efficiently manage and optimize applications, traffic, and data across the entire hybrid network. This allows IT to keep key resources focused on strategic projects.

Organizations can solve problems faster by investing in an observability platform that unifies insights, data, and actions across IT. They can also eliminate alert fatigue, resource-intensive war rooms, silos, and resource-intensive warrooms. Alluvio IQ unified observability enables quick, effective decision-making across IT and business. It codifies expert troubleshooting knowledge so that junior staff can achieve higher-level resolutions. This facilitates digital innovation and continually improves the digital experience for customers as well as employees. Broad-based Telemetry provides a unified view and insight of performance, which is the foundation for unified observability. Alluvio IQ’s approach to unified observability starts with full-fidelity telemetry - across network and infrastructure, and including end-user experiences metrics.
