BEING ABLE TO PING A SERVER

DOESN’T MEAN SERVICES ARE

ACTUALLY UP & RUNNING

@dez_blanchfield

Once upon a time we had a single server running multiple services and monitoring it was relatively straight forward..

Is the server up and responding

Is the operating system online

Are the applications up and running

Are the app services responding

Can users connect to the services

Is the helpdesk phone ringing

Who’s turn is it to get doughnuts

WHEN THINGS WERE A LOT SIMPLER

HYPERSCALE COMPUTING HAS

INCREASED COMPLEXITY BY

ORDERS OF MAGNATUDE

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF PAIN

@dez_blanchfield

Today things have gotten a lot more complex and managing uptime and service availability is a science in itself..

On-site / Off-site / Data Centers

Physical servers / Virtual servers

VMWare / Hyper-V / OpenStack

Cloud / IaaS / PaaS / SaaS

SDN / NFV / Services vs Apps

Kubernetes / Docker / Swarms

Traditional DB / Hadoop Big Data

Mobility / BYOD / M2M / IoT

HYPERSCALE COMPLEXITY & SPEED

MONITORING SERVICES WAS

ONCE ABOUT THE PAST, BUT

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS NOW

LETS US PREDICT THE FUTURE
