About the ITOA Landscape

15 YEARS OF CHRONIC PAIN
For over 15 years that IT operations has struggled with chronic IT operations challenges: from outages to performance and availability problems to incidents and headline grabbing failures.

Increasing data volume, variety and velocity have intensified system complexity turning IT operations management into something so difficult that it requires superhuman skills to manage.

Some call the problem "Big Data", some don't. The truth? It doesn't matter what we call this problem as long as we agree that we're dealing with an overwhelming challenge and that existing approaches won't hold up to, and so it's time to come up with a better strategy.

The[traditional] tools present us with the raw data, and lots of it, but sufficient insight into the actual meaning buried in all that data is still remarkably scarce
