For IT teams, the signal-to-noise ratio isn’t just a technical inconvenience—it’s the tipping point between operational success and systemic failure in today’s modern enterprises. At the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies (IOCS) Conference 2024, this critical issue took center stage.

When cloud adoption grew rapidly in the early 2010s, businesses started facing new challenges. Managing distributed systems, monitoring cloud-hosted applications, and ensuring network performance across global infrastructures became more complex. This shift in how businesses run IT operations creates a clear need for cloud-based network monitoring tools that can give you real-time insights into performance, security, and overall system health.

The scene is familiar to any IT operations professional: the dreaded 3 AM call, multiple monitoring tools showing conflicting status indicators, and teams pointing fingers instead of solving problems. For managed service providers (MSPs) supporting hundreds or thousands of customers, this challenge multiplies exponentially. But at AWS re:Invent 2024, Synoptek’s team revealed how they’ve fundamentally transformed this reality for their 1,200+ customer base through AI-powered observability.

Managing Azure costs while ensuring performance and scalability can be a complex, resource-intensive process, especially when cost management tools are pieced together and used separately from monitoring solutions. To address this challenge, LogicMonitor is excited to announce cost-savings recommendations for Microsoft Azure compute and storage resources, simplifying cloud cost management with integrated insights.
