Best practices for achieving operational resiliency through AIOps strategies including IBM Z
Intellyx White Paper & Infographics by Jason English for IBM
AIOps means much more than the combination of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ with IT Operations. It’s not just a specific tool you can buy, nor is it a rote technique that guarantees a certain result.
AIOps is a fundamental capability cultivated by organizations that brings together people, processes and technology, intelligently leveraging a deep awareness and understanding of all of their systems and data to improve operational agility — and most importantly – operational resiliency.
Operational resiliency is an essential property that shields an enterprise’s digital lifeline from the most disruptive forces it must face, and this resilience under pressure prepares the company’s entire digital estate to constantly spring back stronger in the face of change.
A comprehensive AIOps strategy should take into account all efforts toward operational resiliency — from ensuring a flawless experience for new customer-facing application functionality, to maintaining the security and availability of the enterprise’s beating heart — the mainframe.
In our previous Intellyx whitepaper “Why You Should Do AIOps with the Mainframe,” my colleague Charles Araujo clearly lays out the inseparability of the mainframe from the rest of a business’s digital function:
“The mainframe must be central to an AIOps adoption effort not because it is somehow more important than the rest of the stack, but simply because it is an essential element of most business-critical workflows.”
Fortunately, a lot of innovation has been focused on making mainframes flexible to stress and responsive to change, and many leading organizations have successfully navigated this change. This paper will discuss strategies for achieving best-in-class operational resiliency by making the modern mainframe a central part of the AIOps transformation.
