OpenTelemetry Is Essential for Modern Application Observability

While OpenTelemetry provides a vendor-neutral standard for broad application instrumentation, the resulting surge in telemetry volume can lead to unsustainable costs and operational complexity. Riverbed Smart OTel addresses this challenge by providing an intelligent governance layer that filters and manages data at the point of collection. Together, these technologies enable enterprises to achieve deep, scalable, and cost-effective observability across their entire application estate.
