AppDynamics, a unit of Cisco, today announced it is melding the worlds of AIOps and application performance management (APM) with the launch of Cognition Engine. At the same time, AppDynamics is making good on a promise to integrate metrics drawn from Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), the software-defined networking (SDN) that Cisco is embedding in […]
AIOps: How to Solve Performance Issues in Complex Data Pipelines
AIOps takes center stage to topple barriers as modern data application growth accelerates There seems to be a chasm between DevOps and big data teams in the enterprise, and the bridge over that chasm is long and treacherous. In fact, data analysts who are charged with managing and making sense of the growing volumes of […]
How AIOps Makes DevOps Less Noisy
For DevOps engineers, “noise” is the enemy of productivity. In this context, the noise we’re talking about is unnecessary or low-priority alerts and notifications that distract engineers from identifying serious issues—and ultimately can cause alert fatigue syndrome, in which alerting systems are ignored altogether. Without the application of a well-constructed noise reduction plan, alert noise […]
How AIOps Helps You Get More Out of DevOps
DevOps may seem like an overused term. It involves taking an application’s source code and running it in an environment. It can cover the processes, the technology or even the people that maintain the technology that is running those very processes. At its heart, though, DevOps is about helping developers to be self-sufficient when it […]

Unlocking the Power of AIOps
AIOps is becoming quite the hot topic lately. It seems as though everyone is realizing that Ops is difficult. As we have to deal with more big data at greater velocity with more automation and complexity, there is no way humans alone can tame the beast. AIOps seems to be the answer. I recently sat […]
A Vendor Guy Goes To Monitorama
I attended my very first Monitorama this year, in Amsterdam, and I have thoughts! First of all, it’s deeply weird speaking at Monitorama when you work for a vendor in the monitoring and observability space, but you’re not there as a sponsor. This would be pretty odd at the best of times, but the crowd at […]
Rethinking the APM Paradigm: A New Vision for Enterprise Application Monitoring
Traditional APM systems today can’t measure up to tomorrow’s processes IT today is inordinately complex; continually pushing the boundaries and comprehension for even the most sophisticated minds. And while modern IT is unlocking new, innovative experiences and capabilities, the advent of cloud computing and its distributed, ephemeral nature has also made it extremely difficult for […]
Measure What’s Important: DevFinOps
Lately there seem to have been quite a few DevSomethingOps terms being coined. However, I do think we need one more: DevFinOps. Dev-What-Ops? One of the biggest problems in IT is working out the cost of IT. Left unchecked, IT will expand to fill whatever budget it is given. This may mean evermore involved business […]
AIOps: Managing the Second Law of IT Ops
Or, why IT systems keep breaking The tension between the two halves of DevOps is long-standing, going back long before the term was even invented. What underlies the split between Development and Operations is a fundamental difference, like an actual physical law. Let’s explore that analogy together. IT Ops is fundamentally a constant fight against […]
