Packets & Pints: How Running a Network Observability Company and Two Bars Share Surprising Parallels

By: Brendan O’Flaherty

Ever wonder what running a high-performance tech company has in common with running two bustling bars?

In his latest piece, @Brendan O'Flaherty, CEO of @cPacket Networks (and owner of O'Flaherty's Irish Pub and Five Points), draws surprising and insightful parallels between network observability and hospitality. From packet precision to pint perfection, it's all about trust, timing, and delivering exceptional experiences.

If you're into zero-downtime networking or a well-poured Guinness (bonus points for both), this one's worth a read.

Past Events

Cisco Live San Diego, 6/9-6/12/25

Our team has had an amazing time connecting with IT leaders, NetOps, and SecOps pros who are tackling some of the toughest performance and security challenges out there. We had standing-room-only demos, back-to-back conversations, and meaningful discussions about how packet-level observability is shaping the future of resilient, high-performance networks.

Excellent presentation from Mallikarjuna Rao Mudigonda around Cisco’s partnership with cPacket on day 3 at Cisco Live. Cisco’s integration with cPacket on packet capture and analytics in Cisco dCloud provides a compelling integration with Cisco’s Nexus data broker for robust observability capabilities in dCloud environments.

Thanks to Vincent Stoffer for presenting at cPacket’s booth at Cisco Live about the tight integration between Corelight and cPacket! We are proud to also announce our new integrated Cloud Terraform release on Azure, where users can easily obtain images from the Marketplace and deploy cPacket and Corelight virtual appliances from a single GitHub repo of Terraform modules.

Iain Kenney took the stage at Cisco Live to present “Harnessing the Power of Packets: The Single Source of Truth for Network Observability.”

In his session, Iain explored how the most resilient, high-performing organizations rely on cPacket to achieve full visibility and dramatically reduce MTTR. He walked through our flexible architecture purpose-built for hybrid-cloud environments — and highlighted how precise timestamping, integrated decoders, and real-time analytics empower teams to act faster, troubleshoot smarter, and stay ahead of performance and security issues.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the cPacket x Corelight party — great conversations, great connections, and a fantastic way to wrap up Day 1 at Cisco Live.
