, the complexities of these rapidly expanding distributed environments introduce challenges for operational management that make it difficult for teams to get the application visibility they need.But to achieve both, says IDC, IT executives must start by building an environment that integrates two capabilities in particular: application performance monitoring , which provides the ability to monitor business performance at the code level andyour teams.
So, how can you use these technologies to break down data silos? What opportunities are there to streamline operations? IDC makes two key recommendations.From Agile to DevOps, the last few years have seen increasingly advanced efforts to get IT teams on the same page and using the same data to reduce the impact of their organization’s downtime.
By correlating code-level and network-level information, NOCs and network executives could base business decisions on a single pool of data. While some layer of diagnostic information would be required, providing this level of context in terms that both application and network teams can understand creates shared understanding of two otherwise siloed environments.
