Monitoring Network Bridge Hardware with Cisco Systems

Integrating Network Bridge Hardware and Cisco Systems with your monitoring system

To integrate Network Bridge Hardware and Cisco Systems with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Network Bridge Hardware and Cisco Systems and how that can support your monitoring system.

What is Network Bridge Hardware?

A Bridge is a computer networking device used to connect two or more hosts or network segments together. This function, called Network Bridging, creates a single, aggregate network. As Bridging connects two separate networks as if they were a single network, it is different from Routing.

Routing allows multiple networks to communicate independently and yet remain separate. By looking at the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the devices connected to each segment, bridges can either forward data or block it from crossing. They are used to make a larger logical LAN, by connecting two physical LANs. In the OSI (open systems interconnection) Model, Bridges work only at the Physical and Data Link layers. There are three main types of network bridging technologies which are; simple bridging, multiport bridging, and learning or transparent bridging.

What is Cisco Systems?

Cisco Systems is a global US enterprise established in the mid-80’s. Cisco is an IT products and services provider in five major technology areas. These areas are Networking, Security, Collaboration, Data Center, and the Internet of Things. About 85 percent of Internet traffic travel across Cisco's systems.

Cisco develops, manufactures and sells many products ranging from networking hardware, software, and telecommunications equipment. They also offer other high-technology services and products within this space. Cisco is one of the leading B2B networking and telecom companies in the world, offering products and services to businesses of all sizes.

What is MetricFire?

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.

      undefined

         

MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.

         

Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance: 

  • Cloud Monitoring

  • Hosted Graphite

  • Dashboards


The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.

       

The benefits of MetricFire are:

  • Simple, low-cost pricing
    A structured pricing model based on unique time series metrics allows you to work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allow you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future. 1 metric is 1 metric.


  • Easy-to-use dashboards
    Easily share your dashboards with clients for free.


  • Responsive alerting
    Alert notification integrations PagerDuty, Slack, email, and webhooks.


  • Freedom of customization
    Custom metrics through your code.


  • Fantastic customer support
    Highly available support is provided by engineers for engineers to get you set up quickly.


  • Enterprise-ready
    Dedicated clusters for users that need their own environment.

Don't just take our word for it

Why thousands of engineers choose us:

fingerprint icon Own your data
dollar icon Major savings
eye icon Nothing hidden
face icon Engineering support

Vendor lock-in's not our thing. We’re believers in you still owning your data, so you can request a full export at any time. That means you get all the benefits of an open-source tool, but with the security and stability of a SaaS tool.

“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”

Maxime Audet, Cloud-Ops Team Lead, Coveo
