Meeting SLAs for hybrid applications can be a complex problem. To effectively reach availability goals and performance targets, one must have intelligent insights to mitigate risks and reduce costs. Fragmented asset views, lack of business context, difficult to diagnose performance problems and a lack of visibility into IT costs are all common challenges for today’s hybrid cloud applications. Savvy CIOs know that leveraging AI can automate maintenance tasks and provide a level of resource optimization which propels their team into more strategic initiatives.
IBM’s hybrid cloud solution comprised of Watson AIOps and Instana’s Observability platform provide AI-driven automation and insights for incident remediation, problem determination and application impact avoidance.
The powerful combination of IBM’s AIOPs solution along with the award-winning Application Resource Management (ARM) technology of Turbonomic, can transform your IT operations to a strategic partner in today’s ever changing business environment.
