Navigating VCSP Market Consolidation and Optimizing Cloud Infrastructure

Download the full executive brief below to discover how Broadcom helps safeguard hosting margins and transforms network visibility into a revenue engine.

Operational pillars

Four operational pillars of network observability

How unifying network visibility protects hosting margins and scales capacity

Reducing migration risk

Continuous active path monitoring validates network changes to ensure zero-loss tenant migrations.1

Optimizing human capital efficiency

Consolidating tools increases engineer leverage to scale tenant volume with fixed operational headcount.1

Protecting unit economics and margins

Replacing legacy platforms reduces software TCO while predictable licensing prevents unexpected billing shocks.1

Expanding your recurring revenue

Packaging network visibility into white-labeled SLAs increases pipeline win rates and net retention.1

Industry metrics

Industry performance metrics

50%+

Reduction in resolution time

 

Network observability rapidly isolates fault domains across ISP transit and physical leaf-spine underlays.1

Up to 40%

Software TCO savings

 

Consolidating legacy monitoring platforms eliminates the need for expensive, dedicated hosting infrastructure.1

5x to 10x

NOC headcount capacity scale

 

Fixed network operations teams can manage multi-tenant workload expansion without needing linear headcount growth.1

Over 70%

Teams facing tool sprawl

 

Most network operations teams currently manage four to fifteen disjointed point tools simultaneously.1

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is the impact of VCSP market consolidation on cloud infrastructure?

A: VCSP market consolidation requires hosting providers to absorb massive influxes of migrated tenant workloads. Consequently, these firms must optimize their multi-tenant architectures and scale operations without increasing headcount.

Q: How does network observability reduce software TCO for service providers?

A: Network observability reduces software TCO by up to 40% by replacing fragmented legacy monitoring tools with an integrated operational plane, eliminating expensive dedicated hosting infrastructure.1

Q: What are the main causes of alert fatigue in network operations centers?

A: Alert fatigue in network operations centers is primarily caused by tool sprawl, with teams managing numerous disjointed tools. In these environments, less than 30% of generated alerts are actionable.1

Q: How can VCSPs monetize network visibility and observability?

A: VCSPs can monetize network visibility by packaging it into white-labeled assured interconnect SLAs. In this way, they can ensure end-to-end performance and expand recurring revenue streams.1
