Cisco IT transformed its network observability by bringing operations in-house and building a unified monitoring system in just 40 days. The new system collects telemetry from hundreds of thousands of assets, processes 4 million daily alerts with 99.998% automation, and integrates tools like Catalyst Center, ThousandEyes, and Splunk. Results include zero major incidents (down from 3-4 per quarter), 10x more monitored data, and AI-driven automation that enables proactive issue resolution before they impact users.
