The forces of change impacting today’s IT operational environment are diverse, bewildering, and rapidly accelerating.
Technology innovation continues its Moore’s Law exponential path, while DevOps revamps the ops organization. Simultaneously, digital transformation initiatives are driving new applications, new devices, new sources of traffic. And the data – so many data! – pour in, with no end in sight.
But the old ops priorities still remain. Keep the lights on. Make sure everything is working properly, all the time. And if something breaks, then fix it, and fix it right away.
Add to those timeworn priorities a new litany of mandates: move fast. Don’t just avoid downtime, avoid slowdowns as well – every millisecond is money down the drain. And most of all – automate everything.
Fair enough – but the weary ops staff faces a challenge. Customer demands and business pressures may be moving quickly, but all the gear that ops has been using to do its job for the last decade or so has been unable to keep up.
The monitoring technology of the early 2000s was perhaps the best tooling available in its time, but today it’s woefully inadequate to meet the diverse needs of next-generation operations. Modern ops cannot afford to move slowly, and old gear is slowing it down.
It’s time to clean house.
