Top 6 Benefits of AIOps You Must Know

AIOps — a term coined by Gartner back in 2017 has emerged as one of the hottest talking points in the realm of ITOps. Since its inception, its adoption by large enterprises has gone up from 5% to 30% in 2023. This impressive 6X growth is a clear indicator that AIOps is here to transform how businesses manage their IT operations. But what is it that makes AIOps special? What are the benefits of AIOps that businesses are looking to leverage.

Discovering Zero Days: Why configuration management wins

“Zero Days” may be one of the most recognizable cybersecurity terms, other than hacker of course, for good reason. Zero Day Vulnerabilities are notoriously challenging for defending security teams to identify. Because of delays between active exploit and discovery, they are one of the worst examples of “Known Unknowns” in cybersecurity (Other than user’s behavior of course..). It’s important to understand that Zero Days are not really brand-new vulnerabilities.

Understanding the ServiceNow CMDB - and how AIOps modernizes it

Navigating the complex world of ServiceNow’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB) can feel overwhelming. You might find yourself grappling with understanding the foundational aspects of the CMDB, or maybe you’re seeking effective ways to utilize and integrate it seamlessly into your IT processes. You want to extract the maximum value from your ServiceNow CMDB but need help figuring out how to start.

Using Cisco Meraki Solution for SD WAN? ScienceLogic Was Built for That.

Since its acquisition by Cisco in 2012, Meraki has taken off as one of the most valuable tools for simplifying networking in the cloud era. Organizations using Meraki to install and configure software-defined networking (SDN) and software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) devices across their IT estates can attest to the fact.

The definitive guide to event correlation in AIOps: Processes, tools, examples, and checklist

Are you tired of sifting through a sea of IT events and alerts? Or perhaps you’ve found yourself overwhelmed by the volume of data flooding your monitoring systems and challenged to identify the incident root cause. There’s a better way to manage the chaos: using AIOps to unite disparate tools, data, and teams for event correlation.

AIOps use cases: Technical, operational, and business examples

ITOps is at a crossroads: Teams struggle to manage a high volume of alerts and coordinate between different tools and teams. Teams also must balance cloud technologies’ agility and on-premise solutions’ stability. The sheer speed of today’s IT demands both flexibility and visibility in development and harmonized tech stacks.

Turbo-charging AI Ops with the Elastic Observability AI Assistant: ElasticON AI

Elastic Observability experts Bahubali Shetti and Gagan Singh take a deep dive into how the Elastic Observability AI Assistant can help you get deeper contextual insights into telemetry, troubleshoot issues more effectively, reduce time to resolution, and streamline operations.

Everything you need to know about IT Operations Analytics

Data is both a challenge and an asset for IT professionals, who rely on IT Operations Analytics (ITOA) to guide them towards operational excellence, system reliability, and swift incident resolution. So whether you’re seeking clarity on understanding what ITOA is and its connection to related technologies, are contemplating how to use it within your organization, or are curious about its enhanced efficiency and cost savings benefits, we’ve got you covered.

Do you need better cloud observability - or AI-powered cloud visibility?

Maybe you’re still using monolithic applications, built and refined over many years. You understand that shifting to microservices or containerized architectures is a huge and daunting task. You’re probably grappling with the limitations of legacy systems—maybe they’re slow, tough to update, or can’t scale as you’d like. And you’re likely using more traditional IT monitoring tools or even some cloud observability tools.

The Future of Database Monitoring - AIOps

IT pros need tools designed to ingest large volumes of data, correlate events across data sources, detect problems, and resolve them with new technologies to support more efficient IT systems. This is the function of AIOps. AIOps or Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations, is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to enhance and automate various aspects of IT.

Avoiding a Major Incident with PagerDuty AIOps

A global retailer has a major incident occurring and the team doesn’t know it yet. Before PagerDuty AIOps, the NOC would get hit by alert storms and page multiple teams. This resulted in large conference calls and customer downtime. Now, a major incident right before Black Friday has been averted with PagerDuty AIOps. The result is better overall customer experience, no matter how stressed the system is.

How AIOps modernizes CMDBs to drive accuracy and value

Maintaining your Configuration Management Database’s (CMDB) accuracy, keeping it fully updated, and improving its performance is a frustrating and elusive goal for ITOps and IT leaders. Aiming for this ‘golden’ CMDB standard can feel like running on a treadmill where you’re putting in a lot of work, but remain as distant as ever from your goal. Can IT leaders ever catch up?

What is Mean Time Between Failures - and why does it matter for service availability

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) measures the average duration between repairable failures of a system or product. MTBF helps us anticipate how likely a system, application or service will fail within a specific period or how often a particular type of failure may occur. In short, MTBF is a vital incident metric that indicates product or service availability (i.e. uptime) and reliability.

Accelerated Remediations: How to Maximize AIOps Investments in Network Operations

So, you’ve spent some money and you’re the proud owner of a shiny new AIOps tool that helps improve your Network Operations. Network alarms are now usable, but with all the constant monitoring, supervision, and incident management, your Network Operations Center (NOC) is still overwhelmed. It’s time to pull out another stop.
