Downtime happens. That’s a fact, and it’s nearly impossible to predict. But there are some days when the chances of downtime are higher. Maybe it’s higher-than-normal website traffic, or increased app sign-ups. When planned high-traffic days are on the horizon, it’s a good idea to spend some extra time preparing for the worst.

Whether the data center is running on-premises or workloads are hosted in the cloud, IT operations teams must incorporate monitoring into service delivery and enablement. Monitoring is an early warning system that alerts IT operations when something has gone wrong or is about to go wrong: e.g., application slowness, downtime and outages, configuration changes, capacity issues, and so on.
The ITOps world is a harsh working environment where ITOps personnel are expected to minimize the business impact of incidents at all hours of the day—regardless of the impact to themselves or their families.
