Story
Industrials work at American Express GBT spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Application traffic was splitting across regional habits. Network and app owners asked for a shared way to run application delivery without freezing local judgment.
Cisco (ThousandEyes) is what they standardized on. Cisco provides networking, collaboration, and security products that connect offices, data centers, and hybrid work. American Express GBT uses it as the system of record for application traffic, with network and app owners as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
