Paper Overview
Modern applications are no longer monolithic blocks of code running on a single server. They are now architected as distributed services that are linked together to create a specific function. These services may reside anywhere on the Internet or behind the firewall in the organization’s own datacenters.
Each of these distributed services might be replicated on several different systems to improve reliability, performance and resilience. The systems may be physical, virtual or cloud-based. Physical and virtual systems might be housed in the organization’s datacenter or off-premise in a service provider’s datacenter. Virtual systems might be running on the organization’s own equipment or be hosted on a system in the cloud somewhere.
It is easy to understand that IT administrators find it difficult to know what is running, where it is running and if it is meeting service level objectives.
Each of these systems; physical, virtual or cloud-based, is supporting application components or applications that produce enormous amounts of operational data.
What Can be Done?
Predictive analytics have become an absolute necessity to organizations relying on today’s distributed applications. Today’s application performance management and configuration management tools are no longer sufficient by themselves. Intelligent tools that can capture and analyze real time operational data are now critical requirements for today’s IT environment.
