These complementary capabilities enable organisations to proactively identify and resolve infrastructure-related performance, capacity and utilisation issues that are impacting business-critical applications, which removes the need for costly reactive firefighting that is the hallmark of traditional IT war rooms. Once this end-to-end visibility is established, VirtualWisdom then applies real-time, AI-based analytics that include machine learning, statistical analysis, heuristics and expert systems, allowing enterprises to ensure the performance and availability of the mission-critical applications across their highly complex hybrid data centres.īy leveraging Virtual Instruments’ highly scalable wire and machine data instrumentation and app-centric analytics, the new VirtualWisdom6 platform delivers four key capabilities: Application Service Assurance Predictive Capacity Management Workload Infrastructure Balancing and Problem Resolution and Avoidance. VirtualWisdom discovers and maps applications to the infrastructure to understand where each application lives and how it behaves on top of the infrastructure, in addition to discerning the business value and SLA tier of each application. The breakthrough new release of VirtualWisdom eliminates these obstacles by holistically monitoring, analysing and optimising the health, utilisation, capacity and performance of IT infrastructure within the context of the application. This fragmented visibility leads to a lack of control over application delivery, which results in poor business performance in the form of unmet service level agreements (SLAs), reactive IT, and unconstructive, silo-centric finger-pointing within IT war rooms. In attempts to navigate this complexity, enterprises often implement monitoring tools in a siloed fashion, resulting in an incomplete view of the health, utilisation, capacity and performance of the underlying infrastructure supporting the business-critical applications.
However, the reality is that the scale and complexity associated with these highly virtualised, multi-cloud environments is beyond human comprehension. Today’s enterprises are increasingly evolving to a hybrid data centre model in order to utilise cost-effective and flexible compute and storage via the cloud, while retaining the control and security provided by on-premises infrastructure.
