Episode 50: Beyond the Cloud: Google Cloud, AppNeta, and the Network Visibility Gap

What happens to your visibility when traffic leaves the cloud?In this episode of The NetOps Expert, Jeremy Rossbach sits down with Alec Pinkham to discuss the collaboration between Broadcom and Google Cloud around Cloud Network Insights (CNI) and the challenge it is designed to address: understanding network performance beyond the boundaries of the cloud environment.Jeremy and Alec explore why cross-cloud visibility matters as applications increasingly depend on SaaS, public clouds, private data centers, ISPs, and other external networks. They also dig into network and application experience monitoring, Mean Time to Innocence, and how richer network performance data could help NetOps teams troubleshoot faster and support emerging AI and agentic operations.The conversation also raises a bigger question for NetOps leaders: If AI is only as useful as the data behind it, what happens when a significant part of your network is still a blind spot?Listen for a practical discussion about cross-cloud visibility, AI-ready network operations, and why understanding what happens outside the four walls of the data center is becoming increasingly important.
