Customer Needs Begin with the Device

• Enterprises must connect devices to back-end technology

• Must perform every time, in real-time

IT Ops – The Good Old Days

• Physical servers, networks, and everything else

• Well-defined perimeters• Fixed, tightly coupled

integrations• Infrequent, carefully

planned changes• Formal processes• Centrally managed,

internal ops teams

Welcome to Today’s Digital World!

• Virtual, software-defined everything– Servers, networks, etc.

• “Borderless” applications– Perimeters of little use

• Integration via loosely-coupled APIs

• Frequent, “continuous” change

• Velocity trumps formal processes• DevOps driving cross-organizational team

structures

The Frictionless Enterprise

• Technology extends beyond the corporate perimeter

• Customers demand high-performance, end-to-end capabilities

• Business and technology ecosystems become central organizing principle

IT Operations Management Challenges

• Digital performance is an end-to-end, top-to-bottom challenge

• Network, hardware, physical & virtual infrastructure, containers/runtime, and applications must all perform

• Everything is always subject to change

Manage all the Things!

Traditional Ops Management Falls Short

• Static thresholds– Unrealistic, lead to

alert storms• Siloed management

– Leads to war room fingerpointing, long delays

• “What changed” root cause analysis– Doesn’t work in

environments of frequent, rapid change

Understanding and Managing Complex Virtual and Cloud Environments

• Identifying performance root cause• Predicting the impact of change • Maintaining resilience• Planning for growth

14

High complexity imposed by hidden inter-relationships of a large number

of objects & shared resources

Significant Challenges Exist


http://us.sios.comCopyright @ 2015 SIOS Technology Corp. All rights reserved.

15

Too Much Data, Not Enough Insight

• Key Information Lost in Noise‒ Alert storms, unnecessary data‒ Too many false positives‒ Subtle issues go unnoticed

• Limited Insights‒ Lacking automated integration and

synthesis of broad data sources‒ Finger pointing across domains

• Falls Short of Root Cause Identification‒ Misses correlation of events to behavior to

identify or predict “real” reason for bad behavior‒ No holistic recommendations for correction

• Too Many Different Answers in Too Many Places‒ Conflicting answers to problems across multiple

domains and tools

Reports, Management Tools, Application Monitoring

• ALERT

Data “Noise”

http://us.sios.com

What are Customers Doing Today?

• “Siloed” view‒ Misses complex relationships ‒ Requires multiple tools

• Complex, manual ‒ Difficult setup‒ Significant training‒ Deliver data not intelligence‒ Require ongoing manual threshold

adjustment

• Require specialized skills‒ Highly skilled IT staff to

interpreting results & implement a solution

Use Case: SIOS iQ

• Quickly Explore the Environment State

• One Click to Identify and Define Issues, Severity, Effected Objects‒ Application Compute Contention ‒ Notes issue severity‒ Lists associated host and all effected objects

• Immediately Understand Root Cause‒ Noisy neighbor identified as “ashley” (a VM)

• Recommendations for Correction‒ SIOS iQ recommends “ashley” storage

reconfiguration or load rebalancing

Use Case: SIOS iQ

• Identify Ideal candidate VMs for Host Based Caching• Recommends cache block size & how much cache to use

for each VM• Predicts the resulting cache hit rate, IOPs improvements, and

potential latency improvement for each of the VMs
