Monitoring and managing IT environments has never been more complicated. Today’s IT systems are built with hybrid infrastructure, distributed architectures, and advanced technologies like multi-clouds, containers, and microservices. The massive amounts of multi-dimensional data flows generated by these ecosystems create excessive noise, making it harder for IT operations management teams to identify and resolve service incidents.
To complicate matters, IT environments contain increasingly complex dependencies between an ever-expanding set of business services and applications. Changes and errors can happen so fast that human teams are no longer able to efficiently identify issues or determine root cause. To simplify IT operations management, teams need machines that can work faster and smarter.
That’s where ScienceLogic can help. SL1, part of the ScienceLogic AI Platform, powers IT operations management by leveraging artificial intelligence to streamline and automate workflows for modern IT operations.
The journey to AIOps
Many IT operations management solutions cause teams to struggle to control the complexity of their IT environments. To move their organizations forward and ensure the availability of business services, ITOps teams must ensure that everything is running smoothly and securely while dealing with multiple IT operations monitoring tools that constantly generate alert storms.
AIOps solutions help to solve these challenges by automating manual tasks and providing a single platform for monitoring and remediation. By single interface with a comprehensive view of an IT environment, AIOps platforms support IT tools consolidation, minimizing the cost and expense of managing and maintaining multiple point solutions for infrastructure monitoring.
The most effective AIOps platforms help to accelerate IT operations management by adding context to data. This makes it easier to automatically produce insights, analyze root cause, and remediate actions to restore services. Solutions that combine extensible monitoring with generative AI-assisted automation can automatically identify and remediate potential bottlenecks, mitigate security vulnerabilities, and combat other threats to network efficiency. With the potential for self-healing capabilities, AIOps technology enables IT operations management teams to begin or continue the journey toward autonomous IT systems.
