Azure PaaS Services Support

Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a framework that developers can build on to develop or customize a variety of cloud-based applications. NetworkBrain can show the visibility about various PaaS services like database and topology between different Service Endpoint, Private Endpoint and various PaaS services. Also, the path feature can show the end-to-end traffic flow hop by hop from Azure or On-Prem server to the destination PaaS service, which can be used for issue troubleshooting and network traffic analysis, planning, and optimization.

Note: The feature has been available since version IE10.1.7.
