How to unify IT monitoring: organizing the crumbling IT silos

In today’s business environment, companies don’t have 24 hours to solve IT problems; they barely have 24 minutes. Legacy solutions tailored to static infrastructure are failing within today’s dynamic and programmable data center. On the plus side, emerging devops teams and continuous-delivery solutions enable companies to be more nimble, while hybrid cloud options and mobile applications expand the enterprise so that workers can be productive in multiple locations across all time zones. However, these advances create a whole new set of problems, not least of which is IT monitoring. Breaking down silos so that groups work together is great, but once the silos have crumbled, who’s in charge? And what solutions are available to meet these new demands?

Questions we’ll answer:

  • How does a company find an IT solution that is both elastic and scalable?
  • How does a company break down silos without losing control and accountability?
  • Does unified monitoring mean giving up control?

Our panel of speakers includes:

  • Paul Miller, founder, The Cloud of Data
  • Barb Goldworm, president and chief analyst, FOCUS, LLC
  • Mike Karp, analyst, GigaOM Pro
  • Floyd Strimling, VP Community, Technical Evangelist, Zenoss
