Overview:
IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps (CP4AIOps) embrace artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation to help ITOps managers and Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) address incident management and remediation.
IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps is an AIOps platform that deploys advanced, explainable AI using the IT Operations (ITOps) toolchain data so that you can confidently assess, diagnose, and resolve incidents across mission-critical workloads.
Why CP4AIOps ?
The scale of IT systems and their complexity is continually increasing over the last few years because of digital transformation, containerization, and hybrid cloud adoption. To accelerate business automation, reduce complexity, save costs, and automate regular tasks, companies are seeking the power of AI.
CP4AIOps eases the path to adopting advanced AI for ITOps.
- It powers automation by using diverse data sets from an entire range of hybrid environments from cloud to on-premises, and bringing the information together across ITOps.
- It helps you uncover hidden insights from multiple sources of data, such as logs, metrics, and events by directing into the tools that your teams already use, such as Slack or Microsoft Teams, in near real-time.
- Included AI management tools provides you with unprecedented visibility into your organization's infrastructure so that you can predict failures and facilitate problem resolution.
Feature and Capabilities:
Data ingestion and integration:
Simplify data configuration and leverage automation tools for connecting to various systems, ingesting and analyzing data from multiple domains, tools, and sources in real-time or historically.
Topology generation:
Gain control over dynamic infrastructure, enabling periodic assembly of unified IT asset topologies, providing visibility into applications and resources with real-time or historical data for effective incident pinpointing.
Correlation and compression:
Reduce event overload with event correlation and compression. Leverage event analytics to group, enrich, suppress, and visualize events based on user-defined attributes. Use time, topology, and behavior patterns for efficient incident management.
AI-accelerated operations:
Reduce MTTR using multiple AI models enabling operations teams to understand and diagnose an incident. Access unsupervised training and easy to use model management tools. Visualize correlated incident alerts, metrics, topology and recommended runbooks within a single management console, while ChatOps integration ensures communication and coordination with critical team members.
Augmented remediation:
Detect anomalies and establish baselines, leveraging AI models for automatic anomaly detection, deep insights, and explainability, accelerating remediation through Next Best Action recommendations, automated runbooks, and proactive risk avoidance.
Why Z and Advantages of CP4AIOps on Z :
- IBM z17 Telum II Integrated Accelerator for AI, fuels innovation and growth with AI. AIOps on IBM z/LinuxONE customers will have
- Highly scalable, secure and elastic server, allowing the increase in resource capacity within the same server –data center in a box.
o Potential cost savings without sacrificing on performance, security, reliability, or openness.
- Customers with existing applications on Linux on IBM Z/LinuxONE.
o Co-located applications benefit from on platform networking technology (Hipersockets) to ensure low latency between the data layer and the application layer. Z comes with high levels of security (e.g., Crypto Express card plugin), compliance, and platform uptime.
- Cross domain data ingestion and integration of AIOps ensures reduced false positives and faster incident detection through data correlation.
- AIOps provides accelerated diagnosis with reduced manual effort and improved accuracy - Understand ‘what happened, when’ with the history timeline.
With AIOps on IBM z and LinuxONE, customers get best of both worlds. i.e. reduced manual effort, accelerated diagnosis in a secure, fast and highly reliable platform bring AI-driven intelligence and automation to one of the most critical and high-performing platforms in the world.
