Optimize Systems Management to Improve IT Resilience and Proactivity
Streamline processes, use tools with purpose, and continually look for opportunities to improve.
As an infrastructure / systems manager, you are facing the following challenges:
- Spending all this time and money implementing systems management, but not seeing any results.
- Monitoring systems, but suffering from too-much-information syndrome.
- Not knowing how to act on the data you have, nor how to transform it into a usable diagnosis.
- Wanting to take advantage of new technologies like SaaS and the cloud, but not knowing how to incorporate them into your systems management practice.
- Not knowing how to handle change management with your current systems management protocol.
- A growing organization with free/cheap/open source tools that can’t handle the increased size and heterogeneity of the environment.
