AIOps
IT budgets have held up quite well despite the pandemic, and the majority of IT executives (63%) were actually accelerating or maintaining their digital transformation initiatives, according to a 2020 study by OpsRamp study of 230 IT operations executives in the US and UK. The same IT ops pros said they were focused on buying tools that enabled compelling customer and employee experiences ...
The pandemic has spurred organizations to rapidly shift away from traditional in-house IT infrastructures to modern and agile IT systems that support enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, such as cloud migration and automation enablement. These digital transformation initiatives have been critical to business continuity in the midst of an unprecedented global market upset that came in the form of COVID-19 ...
The average "lifespan" of a company on the Fortune 500 list has dropped from 75 to 15 years, indicating that today, a business' longevity is less to do with industrial decline and leadership, and more influenced by technology and trends, suggesting businesses need to be more agile. As digital transformation continues to change business today, innovative technology like observability with AIOps will play a critical role in helping brands keep up. And as more and more brands implement this innovative technology, there are three main ways they'll see it transform their business ...
Unlike some AI initiatives, AIOps doesn't always necessitate the use of a data scientist, so don't let hiring expenses put your AIOps initiatives on hold. It is always nice to have IT team members with AI skills, but this becomes less critical as more intelligent solutions come into prominence that offer AIOps features out of the box, a readily deployable option for IT ...
AIOps is rapidly becoming a de-facto option for enterprises' IT strategies, with nearly immeasurable benefits to be provided.

So, what should organizations expect from AIOps? How can organizations that want to digitally transform their IT pursue AIOps for maximum benefit? ...
The introduction of the latest technology — such as AI and machine learning — can be seen as a way for organizations to accelerate growth, increase efficiency, and improve customer service. However, the truth is that the technology alone will do little to deliver on these business outcomes. AI for IT operations (AIOps) is one area where the application of technology, if not matched with organizational maturity readiness, will fail to deliver all the promised benefits ...

More and more mainframe decision makers are becoming aware that the traditional way of handling mainframe operations will soon fall by the wayside. The ever-growing demand for newer, faster digital services has placed increased pressure on data centers to keep up as new applications come online, the volume of data handled continually increases, and workloads become increasingly unpredictable. In a recent Forrester Consulting AIOps survey, commissioned by BMC, the majority of respondents cited that they spend too much time reacting to incidents and not enough time finding ways to prevent them ...
The demand for AIOps has accelerated as organizations struggle with the increased complexities of IT systems, a disparate workforce, and the explosive growth of operational data. Gartner even recently stated that "there is no future of IT operations that does not include AIOps." For the modern enterprise, relying solely on traditional analysis or humans results in missed opportunities and potentially increases risk. So, what is AIOps? ...
Modern complex systems are easy to develop and deploy but extremely difficult to observe. Their IT Ops data gets very messy. If you have ever worked with modern Ops teams, you will know this. There are multiple issues with data, from collection to processing to storage to getting proper insights at the right time. I will try to group and simplify them as much as possible and suggest possible solutions to do it right ...

Vendors and their visions often run ahead of the real-world pack — at least, the good ones do, because progress begins with vision. The downside of this rush to tomorrow is that IT practitioners can be left to ponder the practicality of technologies and wonder if their organization is ahead of the market curve or sliding behind in an invisible race that is always competitive ...

Complexity breaks correlation. Intelligence brings cohesion. This simple principle is what makes real-time asset intelligence a must-have for AIOps that is meant to diffuse complexity. To further create a context for the user, it is critical to understand service dependencies and correlate alerts across the stack to resolve incidents ...
It isn't uncommon for IT departments to be overwhelmed by alerts each week, causing alarm fatigue and making it hard for them to prioritize troubleshooting. Therefore, disruption of operations is often the first signal of IT problems, leaving enterprises to rely on an outdated break-and-fix model ...
Network management teams routinely perform several activities to plan, deploy, upgrade, troubleshoot, maintain, and monitor the network. So what can you do in the face of all this complexity to ensure network experiences and performance levels that satisfy the needs of the business? The truth is, there's not much you can do if you lack the fundamental capabilities today's digital enterprises require. Here are five key questions to ask that will serve as a starting point for ensuring your team is up to the task ...

Enterprise ITOM and ITSM teams have been welcoming of AIOps, believing that it has the potential to deliver great value to them as their IT environments become more distributed, hybrid and complex. Not so with DevOps teams. It's safe to say they've kept AIOps at arm's length, because they don't think it's relevant nor useful for what they do. Instead, to manage the software code they develop and deploy, they've focused on observability ...
