In our previous blog post, we discussed how AIOps functionality has been used primarily in support of IT Ops processes that enable monitoring or observation of IT infrastructure, application behavior or digital experience.

Today’s enterprises are embracing digital transformation and modernizing their infrastructure to deliver products faster and stay ahead of the competition. Here at LogicMonitor, we usually see the result of this modernization as a distributed and hybrid IT infrastructure that allows enterprises to optimize factors like cost and security while still realizing the benefits of being able to scale and deploy faster.

Enterprise troubleshooting is not an easy task with many enterprises. Administrators are typically left maintaining many different solutions, attempting to evaluate root cause manually, or are left with solutions that do not give broad visibility into all aspects of the deployed Citrix or VMware Horizon deployment.
