Harness the True Power of vRealize® Operations™ Manager
The MTTI Game
First, let’s discuss the issue or issues depending on how you define the problem. “We” live in a reactive, instant gratification world. So too, do our business operations and critical business application teams.
· Definition of “We”: IT team or siloed IT teams who are involved in managing day to day IT operations for efficient administration of the full IT stack across datacenter, public, private, and hybrid clouds.
· Goal of “We”: Transition from “We” to “The Team”.
When applications start crawling to a halt or even worse seize up and crash, we instantly go into reactive mode. We postulate and hypothesize on who or what the culprit might be. We hold emergency team meetings where we play MTTI, or Mean Time to Innocence, where we clearly validate why it’s “not me” or “not my teams issue”. We may go even further and incriminate another team as the offender or cause of the failure based on our view of the data.
Why do we always blame others? I guess the more important question really is, why do we continue to do this repeatedly every time we have a failure or an outage or any kind of service issue?
We continue with this blame charade because our organizations still lack true operational visibility into the entire data centers and operations teams. Organizations continue to use a myriad of IT operations monitoring platforms which each uniquely identify where the problem lies, resulting in differing root causes. The problem with multiple monitoring platforms is that they don’t talk to each other, they don’t speak the same language or monitor the same metrics and data. The conclusions are conflicting and confusing to the teams using these multiple monitoring platforms.
True Operational Visibility
There is a better way to find out where the problem lies. When we combine the power of VMware vRealize Operations Manager with Blue Medora’s True Visibility Suite we create a single source of truth across all the operational teams. We not only give the teams powerful depth into their virtual, physical, and application performance; We also give the teams the ability to change their organizational processes from being reactive to a proactive one. An organization that gets ahead of the potential issues and problems before they become one.
· Power of vRealize Operations Manager and Blue Medora True Visibility Suite
The power and scope of vRealize Operations Manager has been relegated to the virtual level and it does a tremendous job of giving administrators proactive insight into their virtual data center. Now that same power and scope has been unleashed through the entire application stack.
