New Data Centers – New Monitoring Challenges.
Organizations depend on their data center IT infrastructure to deliver business critical services. Any glitch or downtime will directly impact business operations;
and IT personnel are held accountable for managing corresponding network, systems and applications. More importantly, the IT organization is measured by how well
they meet business requirements and keep mission-critical systems online with expected reliability. New technologies are implemented to expand capacity, such as
web and mobile applications, virtualization (in all areas of storage, network and server), SOA, VOIP, email, wireless, security devices, and now public and private clouds.
While the technologies bring tremendous value and effectiveness to the enterprise, at the same time, they introduce new data center monitoring challenges.
Operational Silo Inefficiencies
Adding to data center complexity and impacting IT responsiveness for large to mid-sized enterprises is the growth of operational silos, such as networks, systems,
applications, help desk, etc. How to scale the management of the trees without ignoring the forest? IT departmentalization provides focus and helps scale IT controls,
but it also contributes to inefficiency in terms of identifying threats, responding to problems, isolating root cause, and getting the network and systems back up and
running in a timely and assured fashion.
These organizations use numerous tools across departments to provide different IT management functions. However, this approach makes it difficult to monitor and link various
operational data quickly to understand how applications and infrastructure connect to deliver business services, and to quickly pinpoint problems and efficiently assess if the
cause relates to performance, availability, security, or a change.
For example, which component is critical to which business services and what is the impact of an update to the performance or reliability of a service delivered to the actual end
user or customer. Data Center monitoring requires a more holistic approach that can be of value to different members of the IT organization and the IT organization as a whole to alleviate
operation silos inefficiencies and disparate toolsets.
New Way of Monitoring Data Centers
Evaluating and guaranteeing the availability of critical systems, monitoring different geographic and application environments, measuring data center operating norms and
service-levels, and improving the bottom line of an enterprise is paramount – especially given the demand on IT to achieve more with less resources. An automated and more
integrated data center monitoring solution increases infrastructure and service reliability, enhances IT operational efficiency and facilitates resource optimization.

The AccelOps Data Center Solution
The AccelOps all-in-one data center solution integrates data center and IT service monitoring functions offering advanced analytics, proactive alerting,
flexible search and robust reporting capabilities. Employing unique and cutting-edge technology, the AccelOps solution provides end-to-end visibility across
IT in terms of service, performance, availability, security, and change management.
The AccelOps solution not only pinpoints network and application problems, but also offers IT the intelligence to know in what domain an issue exists,
how a problem with a specific component affects different IT services, and the impact that an issue or change has relative to IT service performance.

Web 2.0 Meets Next-Generation Data Center Monitoring
The AccelOps solution offers a dynamic and intuitive web interface for highly interactive and customizable dashboards, smart search options, data queries
including trend graphs, and more than 500 built-in and extensible reports.

Enterprise-Class Data Center Monitoring Framework
By complementing or replacing existing, silo’d management tools with a fully integrated data center monitoring solution, AccelOps allows complete
operational oversight from a service perspective.
AccelOps collects, manages and stores diverse operational data (network flows, configurations, events, logs and user activity) in an IT environment
in a scalable fashion, and analyzes the data in real-time and historically to yield end-to-end business service visibility and control for availability,
performance, security and change management.
AccelOps automates CMDB population and IT service definition processes by means of a fast, multi-faceted way to capture and categorize infrastructure
asset configuration details while removing the cumbersome and time-consuming data collection effort across various organizational barriers. With this
information, AccelOps presents a practical way to define IT services (the applications and supporting IT infrastructure that comprise a service) in
order monitor a data center from an infrastructure and service perspective.
