Event correlation is a critical aspect of modern IT management, involving the analysis and correlation of events to filter out noise and isolate significant events requiring attention. This process helps quickly identify the root cause of issues, reducing the time it takes to resolve incidents and ensuring smoother operations. Key reasons for event correlation include reducing noise data and identifying root causes efficiently.

In today’s digital landscape, IT operations face unique challenges and pressures unlike those of the past. Currently, the cost of a service failure for medium and large enterprises is estimated to exceed $100,000 per hour.

To resolve this challenge AI and ML assists in enhancing the overall management of incidents and reducing response times.

Quality medical care today relies on “health systems” built from geographically distributed healthcare settings such as hospitals, urgent care clinics, imaging centers, nursing homes, pharmacies, and specialist offices, among many others. Each setting shares data within the broader health system through Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). EMR systems, which were purpose-built to manage patient records, help improve patient outcomes through the real-time sharing of patient data.

Savvy organizations are embarking on a journey toward Autonomic IT to better manage their IT environments, particularly as hybrid configurations grow in popularity and are accompanied by greater complexity. Driven by AI and automation, Autonomic IT can help organizations optimize resource allocation, improve the effectiveness of maintenance efforts, avoid downtime, and keep end users happy.

As technology evolves and IT systems become too complex for humans alone to manage, enterprises need to work towards an autonomous business model. This state – known as “Autonomic IT” – unlocks the transformative potential of automation and generative AI to help businesses resolve issues faster, minimize customer interruptions, and drive innovation. However, achieving an Autonomic IT state is not a simple plug-and-play process. It is a gradual evolution, a journey.
