Tackling Tool Consolidation for Hybrid IT Environments | IT Manages | IT Leaders
Simon Abrahams, Product Marketing Director, SolarWinds
Most in Public Sector IT will have seen their budgets squeezed, with a major focus on containing capex. This naturally makes as-a-Service environments easier to justify, but can bring additional complexity. Hybrid IT and multi-cloud, containerization of apps, new DevOps ways of working, Edge infrastructure and low-latency networks all make for “interesting times”.
For Infrastructure and Operations professionals responsible for managing and monitoring, the challenge is more acute – because with increasing IT complexity, the numbers of point monitoring solutions have become an unwelcome overhead.
One issue is that different ops teams look at different tools and see different things – and the lack of correlation or consistency takes a toll on the level of service delivered. Tools also duplicate and overlap, resulting in unnecessary additional cost – not only directly (cost to buy and maintain) but also indirectly (costs of staffing and training for different tools). Ultimately this all leads to a worse customer experience – because issues get missed, and problems take longer to fix.
Many of these issues can be resolved through tool consolidation, which delivers a single source of truth for all operations teams, along with event correlation to speed root cause analysis.
This Webinar is designed for IT Managers, Networks Managers, Systems Managers, Database Managers, IT leaders and those undertaking Digital Transformation projects.

But correlating the data, detecting anomalies, and being informed when things go awry is the challenge. Knowing a value is outside a threshold is great, but does that constitute a problem? Thankfully, SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability is here to give you that next level of insight. After this session, you’ll be able to:
• Understand how Hybrid Cloud Observability can help you surface important information
• Explain the difference between each Hybrid Cloud Observability scale
• See how you can easily drill down and aid in root cause analysis
• Easily transition from tools you already know to a strangely familiar platform -

Observability: Redéfinir le monitoring
David Buis and Ali Djidjelli
La complexité de la gestion des systèmes informatiques distribués à travers des environnements hybrides a conduit à l'utilisation d'outils disparates, créant des silos d'information, réduisant la visibilité et ralentissant les temps de résolution des problèmes.
Pour contrer les frictions opérationnelles qui en découlent, les organisations explorent des solutions d'observabilité plus complètes. Cependant, le passage de la supervision à l'observabilité dans les environnements hybrides est complexe et peut entraîner des angles morts, entraînant des risques opérationnels plus élevés et des impacts négatifs sur la productivité.
Rejoignez ce webinaire pour comprendre la différence entre la supervision et l'observabilité, ainsi que les angles morts à éviter lors de l'élaboration de votre stratégie d'observabilité, notamment:
• Ce qui distingue l'observabilité de la supervision.
• Les tendances qui expliquent le besoin d'observabilité dans le cloud hybride aujourd'hui.
• Comment l'observabilité peut rendre votre organisation plus productive et agile.
• Les cinq problèmes les plus courants à éviter.
• Comment passer à une stratégie d'observabilité tout en réduisant les coûts et les risques. -
Transform IT Operations with Hybrid Cloud Observability
