Enterprises need strong observability to ensure system reliability, proactively detect and resolve issues, optimize performance, enhance security, and maintain seamless business operations across complex distributed environments.

As organizations in the public sector continue to undergo what Deloitte has called a “radical transformation” and embrace new, innovative technologies, they’re seeing improvements in everything from agility to customer experience. And, the good news is that innovation tends to breed more innovation, meaning the digital transformation of the last two decades laid the groundwork for the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Enterprises are yet to hit a sweet spot with their IT infrastructure monitoring. Despite investing thousands of dollars and getting a bunch of monitoring tools, it is almost always true that the customer catches the issue before the monitoring tool does. In today’s time, teams are looking at more than just monitoring tools. In fact, they want a system that can detect and resolve the issue in the same platform without any delays or intervention.

IT incident management focuses on quickly identifying and resolving IT issues to restore normal service operations. Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) of incident response is vital in minimizing service disruptions affecting customers and users. With so much data and many things to track, it’s difficult to identify which metrics and KPIs are right to track. What are the right incident response metrics to use to drive meaningful improvements?

Since ScienceLogic was founded in 2003, our goal has been to support our partners, including Managed Service Providers (MSPs), with solutions that help them and their clients gain unparalleled visibility into their IT environments. Our objective has always been to help these organizations bring order to complexity, turn inefficiencies into productivity, and, in the process, help service providers and the companies they serve exceed their business objectives.

Our thinking and use of topology within AIOps and Observability solutions from Broadcom has advanced significantly in recent years while solidly building on our innovative domain tools. We’re looking to communicate these innovations, advancements, and benefits for IT operations. In this blog, we continue where the previous blog left off to explain the boundary blame concept and mechanism to obtain a sufficiently complete topology.

Strong observability in cloud environments is essential for monitoring the health of interconnected systems. Unlike traditional monitoring, which is limited to specific cloud stacks or devices, observability provides comprehensive visibility across the entire hybrid IT infrastructure including applications, IT systems and services.

First, let me give you proof that AI didn’t write this. The discerning human is learning that a significant portion of the media they consume is AI-generated or at least AI-enhanced. AI readers will likely crawl this post and distribute it to those the algorithm deems to be likely prospects for our product.

Managing IT operations is becoming more complex with the rapid evolution of IT environments. As a result, leaders are looking for more efficient, intelligent ways to monitor and maintain their IT systems. AIOps has evolved as one of the most promising solutions in recent years. AIOps uses machine learning (ML), big data, and automation to streamline IT operations.

So far, we’ve detailed the Autonomic IT maturity model and discussed the characteristics of the early stages of that journey, progressing from “Siloed IT” to “Coordinated IT” and then to “Machine-Assisted IT in recent blog posts.” Wherever your organization is on this journey, there is likely still work to be done.
