Episode 46: From SD-WAN to SASE: Closing the Network Visibility Gap

Network complexity isn’t slowing down, it’s converging. As SASE brings together SD-WAN and secure edge, many teams still struggle with a critical blind spot: what happens once traffic leaves their network. In this episode of The NetOps Expert, host Jeremy Rossbach sits down with Nestor Falcon to break down key takeaways from a recent SASE conference in Paris. They explore how SD-WAN continues to anchor hybrid environments, why end-to-end visibility is still the biggest operational gap, and how Broadcom customers are using observability to pinpoint issues across third-party networks before they escalate. The conversation also dives into the rise of AI in network operations, including the shift toward agentic AI and natural language interfaces that simplify how teams detect and resolve issues. If you're navigating SASE adoption, AI-driven operations, or increasing regulatory pressure like GDPR, this episode offers practical insight to help you stay ahead.

Episode 45: The State of Network Operations 2026 - Part 4

In this fourth episode of the 2026 NetOps Expert Series, Jeremy Rossbach, Chief Technical Evangelist for NetOps, and Alec Pinkham, Principal Product Marketer for AppNeta, unpack what it really takes to make AI work in network operations. While 92% of organizations plan to adopt AI-enabled observability, only 23% have deployed it, and 71% of professionals still do not fully trust AI. The reason is simple. AI does not fix operational gaps. It scales them. Without trusted telemetry, consistent workflows, and full visibility across cloud and internet networks, AI cannot deliver predictive triage or autonomous remediation. The conversation outlines a practical path to AI readiness, starting with closing blind spots, improving data hygiene, enriching tickets, and maturing automation before introducing advanced AI capabilities. The key takeaway is clear: AI success in NetOps starts with a strong data foundation and mature observability. If you want to understand where your organization stands and what steps to take next, this episode offers a practical roadmap grounded in the findings of the 2026 State of NetOps report.
