ITRS Group announces the launch of its newest product offering, Obcerv.
The launch of Obcerv will introduce end-to-end visibility into infrastructure and applications, and through intelligent alert aggregation, it will identify the most likely source of a problem, enabling users to improve service delivery. Obcerv will act as both a data storage and analytics platform for critical monitoring, allowing users to gain full visibility and ultimately take back control of their systems.
Obcerv simplifies and accelerates traditionally complex monitoring systems with benefits including but not limited to:
- The intelligent correlation of data from multiple data feeds and streams to simplify analysis
- Data compression minimizes storage costs, without having to aggregate the data as many tools do, ensuring data fidelity is maintained
- Root cause analysis is accelerated, offering alerts based on commonality, thereby providing context and meaning to alerts
- Unique APIs facilitate full interoperability, Obcerv can store data from other ITRS Group products, but from monitoring tools from other vendors too
Guy Warren, CEO of ITRS Group, said: “Monitoring is often seen as the canary in the coal mine: it may be able to tell you that something is wrong, but too often the message lacks context and meaning. Obcerv will provide IT operators with an understanding around why certain things happen, allowing them to accurately decide the best course of action.
In recent years, modern IT estates have become extremely complex, pushing many monitoring teams to the edge of their capability, leaving them struggling to deliver on uptime and reliability metrics. And with more than half of all firms experiencing at least a day of downtime each year, it is clear that monitoring solutions that are able to match the increasing complexities of the systems they are monitoring is required. Obcerv will not only help firms to gain full visibility across their estates but in doing so, it will enable them to regain control of them.”

Ask most IT leaders about their biggest concern with AI and you'll hear the same answer: hallucinations ... Today, however, the conversation has shifted ... As organizations move beyond chatbots and experiments, they are increasingly deploying AI agents that perform multi-step tasks. These systems retrieve documents, query databases, call APIs, generate reports, write code, and make recommendations. The issue is not whether the model can reason. The issue is whether the organization can see, verify, and govern the decisions being made along the way ...
While organizations want to take control of their telemetry, building telemetry pipelines from scratch can be a very daunting, complicated task, even when leveraging open-source standards like OpenTelemetry. It requires specialized knowledge across distributed systems, data engineering, and security. This fragmented approach across systems causes higher operational costs; it puts a strain on resources and reduces efficiency as teams have to work with different interfaces and processes ...
For decades, enterprise networks were designed around a simple assumption: work happened inside the office. Applications lived in centralized data centers, employees connected through internal infrastructure, and security focused on protecting the perimeter that surrounded everything ... But the way organizations operate today bears little resemblance to that environment. Cloud platforms host critical applications, employees connect from homes and airports as often as they do from offices, and partners collaborate through shared systems that exist far beyond corporate walls. In short, the corporate network no longer resembles the environment it was designed to protect ...
As an analyst who researches how IT organizations design, build, and operate their networks, I find that network data is a constant source of pain. Network teams struggle with data quality, fragmentation, authority, access, and trust. And these issues undermine everything they try to do. Here are the numbers: Only 45% of network teams are completely confident in the accuracy of their network source of truth, which documents the intent of their network ...

The next observability gap may not be in the code. It may be under the rack. That sounds strange until you think about how AI incidents actually feel in the middle of an investigation ... The application dashboard may be accurate. It may also be stopping at the wrong boundary. AI systems depend on software, but they also depend on a dense physical stack: racks, power paths, thermal margin, maintenance activity and, in many environments, liquid cooling. Those physical dependencies can change slowly before they look like a software incident ...
Certificate expiration is the rare outage you can see coming. Every TLS certificate carries the date it stops working, so the moment it will begin breaking connections is knowable in advance. That's what makes an expired certificate such a frustrating way to lose a service. What's changing now is how often that date comes around ...
Enterprises operate different combinations of workloads across cloud, hybrid and multicloud environments. For business-critical workloads, teams need to consider monitoring and observability early so they can detect health issues, investigate failures, and understand operational impact. Organizations place workloads on cloud platforms based on a combination of technical requirements, economics, existing dependencies, organizational standards, and business priorities. Their monitoring priorities therefore depend on what they operate and where those systems run. Those priorities will not look the same for every organization ...
Top-performing businesses prioritize data-driven decision making, enabling leaders to move from intuition and gut feel towards evidence-based judgment. But that judgment is only sound when the data underpinning decisions is accurate. With incident management, data accuracy is particularly important. Long-term revenue, customer trust, and operational stability depend on high-quality data that enables teams to quickly identify and address the root cause of major incidents. Against this backdrop, governance becomes a critical endeavor to ensure the right data drives the right action ...
