Large organizations with complex IT infrastructures are facing a significant challenge when it comes to data. The complexity is such that many IT operations teams are struggling to detect, or predict, the complex failure conditions and circumstances that can adversely impact resilience and uptime. Monitoring a multitude of systems is a complex task, as the […]
The Role of Containers in Business Transformation
Containers hold new promise for business and digital transformation. Yet many differences exist between monitoring containers and monitoring other elements of infrastructure, such as VMs, storage, memory and compute. Understanding those differences is vital for ITOps managers as they navigate their businesses’ digital transformation. Interestingly, the differences are as much technical as they are organizational.

What is so Special About AIOps for Mission Critical Workloads?
As the wave of digitization sweeps more enterprises with each passing day, the threats posed to organizations, particularly IT organizations, have never been more complex and pressing. With cybercrime statistics, including those for more targeted crimes (such as phishing) pointing towards an alarming frequency of attacks, the stakes for securing enterprises have been higher. However, […]
Chaos Engineering for ITOps
Chaos engineering (CE) is the discipline of experimenting on a system in order to build confidence in the system’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production. This approach is becoming commonplace in software development and operations (DevOps) practices. But how would its application extend to ITOps? CE for ITOps offers a similar framework for stress-testing […]

Consider the Role of Programmers as Storytellers
Every time I speak with the programmers of our team in casual conversation, I ask what they’re working on. Every time, I get the same kind of answer, “I’m building a dashboard,” or “I’m optimizing a database,” or “I’m testing the user interaction.” In other words, I get the same answer as the proverbial masons, […]
DevOps Is Killing the ITOps Engineer (and That’s Bad)
In theory, DevOps is about bridging the gap between developers and ITOps teams. In practice, however, DevOps often can feel as though its real goal is to turn ITOps engineers into developers, without really requiring developers to dive head-first into ITOps work. In this article, we’ll explain why DevOps gives more glory to development work […]
