FRAMINGHAM, Mass., November 15, 2016 – International Data Corporation (IDC) has just released a 2016 IDC Innovators report recognizing vendors within the enterprise network management market focused on cloud-based network monitoring solutions.
Each of the startups featured as IDC Innovators have secured multi-million dollar investments by venture capitalists, lending credibility to their unique business models and product offerings.
IDC has named four vendors as IDC Innovators for 2016 within the cloud-hosted network monitoring and visibility market: 7Signal, Kentik, Nyansa, and ThousandEyes.
"Enterprise IT departments are increasingly looking to cloud technologies for optimized business operations and greater flexibility in managing network infrastructure," said Nolan Greene, senior research analyst, Network Infrastructure. "Innovative vendors like 7Signal, Kentik, Nyansa, and ThousandEyes are harnessing the benefits of cloud management, long utilized in other areas of IT infrastructure, for digital enterprise-ready network monitoring and visibility."
7Signal provides a mobile application that measures and reports on end users' Wi-Fi experience. Kentik monitors service delivery and optimizes Internet peering with ad-hoc traffic analysis. Nyansa offers a cloud-sourced, vendor-agnostic analytics system for the network edge. ThousandEyes is a network intelligence platform that can detect performance issues with enterprise network infrastructure, including traffic outage detection, and provide suggestions for remediation.

The IDC Innovators research document examines cloud-based network monitoring companies with revenue of less than $100 million with a product, service, or business model with a specific use case.
