Driving Network Observability with SuzieQ
Driving Network Observability with SuzieQ and Our Practice
At EIA, we’ve long recognized that true network observability goes beyond dashboards and alerts. As Dinesh G. Dutt, creator of SuzieQ and author of Cloud Native Data Center Networking, puts it:
“Observability is the ability of a system to answer either trivial or complex questions that you pose as you go about operating your network. How easily you can answer your questions is a measure of how good the system’s observability is.” — Dinesh G. Dutt
This perspective resonates strongly with our approach. Monitoring alone tells you that something is wrong, while observability empowers you to understand why it’s happening and how to address it.
Our Observability Practice
We’ve built our observability practice around this philosophy, leveraging SuzieQ Enterprise as a foundational platform. From the beginning, we saw the value SuzieQ brought in answering both the simple and complex operational questions across:
| Wired and Wireless Networks | Enterprise connectivity across LAN, WAN, and Wi-Fi environments. |
| Security Infrastructure | Firewalls, intrusion detection, and compliance-focused protection. |
| Cloud and Hybrid Environments | Public, private, and hybrid cloud strategies integrated with on-premise systems. |
Our practice doesn’t stop at visualization—it’s about giving operators and engineers the confidence to explore, troubleshoot, and optimize networks at scale.
