EDITOR ’ S QUESTION
SINCE ALL BUSINESSES ARE TRANSFORMING INTO DIGITAL ENTERPRISES , WHAT SUITE OF SOLUTIONS SHOULD ENTERPRISE CIOS USE TO MANAGE APPLICATION AVAILABILITY , PERFORMANCE , WORKLOADS , SECURITY .
Digital organisations need a different set of real time performance parameters to ensure they are optimally functioning . Executives from Cisco AppDynamics , Fortinet , Siemon share their perspectives .
Over the last two years we have seen a seismic evolution in applications , and technologists need to ensure that their monitoring capabilities keep pace .
From understanding how highly-distributed cloud-native applications work and predicting incidents , to adopting new ways to gather vast amounts of MELT telemetry
Organisations should look to adopt a digital experience monitoring platform which gives their IT teams end-to-end visibility across their entire infrastructure .
With the increasing complexity of application delivery , organisations need a comprehensive approach to performance management that covers all access points , maintaining end-user experiences while ensuring quality service delivery .
This approach must extend across geographical borders , catering to users working from home offices , field locations , or corporate headquarters .
Cloud-Native applications are built in completely different ways , and they are managed by Site Reliability Engineers , DevOps and CloudOps , that have new and different skill sets , mindsets and ways of working compared to other functions within IT . As such , they require a completely different kind of technology to track and analyse availability and performance data . data , teams across ITOps , DevOps , CloudOps , and SREs need contextual insights that provide business context deep within the technology stack .
Legacy application and network performance monitoring tools lack the holistic , end-to-end visibility necessary to monitor , troubleshoot , and optimise today ’ s user-to-application experience . For this reason , organisations should look to adopt a digital experience monitoring platform which gives their IT teams end-toend visibility across their entire infrastructure .
SRE and DevOps teams need a solution that embraces open standards , giving a full-stack , correlated view of all telemetry data across the technology stack , most notably , Open Telemetry .
Technologists need to be able to collect all telemetry across the stack and domains , and then analyse all of that telemetry data , since it is interconnected and interdependent , at once . A standards-driven solution is essential to future-proof organisations for the next decade and beyond .
