Monitoring as a Service

It is a common knowledge that business requirements on IT are increasing by the day.

Modern IT infrastructures continue to grow in size, scale and complexity, while the demand for higher SLAs (service level agreements) is increasing. Unfortunately, IT departments are having a challenge with increased budgets and resources required to keep up with these developments.

As multi-vendor deployments are becoming the norm; unceasing production of log, flow and machine data are becoming available. The ability to obtain actionable intelligence from this data represents a tremendous opportunity for businesses. Of course, companies will require the ability to collect, analyze, visualize and respond to this data in real-time in order to realize the full benefits. Otherwise, the information and trend intelligence captured will simply be wasted. With the risk of extended outages, slower time to resolution and excessive downtimes, the stakes are high.

Many IT organizations have invested in costly software solutions to collect, analyze and visualize infrastructure data. Unfortunately purchasing the latest monitoring software does not automatically guarantee success.
 

In our opinion organizations face 4 main obstacles as they try to collect, analyze, visualize and respond to infrastructure and application data.

 
  • A lack of monitoring experts that are experienced in setting up the initial monitoring environment

     
  • null

    A lack of experience in deciding on the correct KPIs (key performance indicators) to track and setting up meaningful thresholds. A common issue experienced by an enterprise that has invested in a new monitoring software is that soon after it goes live with the solution, it gets inundated with alarm emails.  Soon the  the team is buried in alarms and sets up an Outlook rule to file the communication away.  This results in the monitoring solution not being used to its full capability.

     
  • null

    As companies connect their IT infrastructure and application stack with a monitoring solution, they also need to set up a multishift operations center to man the ‘monitors.’ The challenges associated with a 24/7/365 operation are complex. Companies need to take not only technology challenges into account, but also design their HR processes to support a 24/7/365  IT operation.

     
  • null

    IT evolves quickly. As companies shift between different vendors, deploy new technologies such as containers, the monitoring environment needs to be redesigned, redeployed and supported.


These challenges to monitoring are costly to address. As a result, while almost all enterprises have workloads that need to be supported 24/7/365, few have made the required investments to support their workloads 24/7/365.
