In this webinar we will explore the common operational challenges many DevOps teams are facing today, how traditional IT Operations best practices could be leveraged to create a closed loop DevOps methodology, and how new operations management tools can help you build achievable automation to fix application issues once in production, observe operational trends and improve operational efficiency.

Management reality in today’s IT landscapes
Issues that go beyond Level 1 support often
involve at least 3-4 people taking up an
average of 5-7 total man hours
Mean Time to Repair for application-related
problems is often 3-6 hours
User calls to applications support are the
enterprise’s “heads up” for an application problem
35% of the time
58% of survey participants said their
enterprise had between 6 and 40 different
monitoring tools
Managing today’s applications is difficult because symptoms may not be visible

11. Structure and Efficiency Starts with Automated Event & Incident Management:
Dynamic lifecycles amidst constant
change:
• Application launches & changes
• Virtualized infrastructure movement
• Digital transformation
• Organizational changes
• Business initiatives
• External: weather, disaster, cyber
attacks
Control of the source not required to detect and resolve incidents as they happen
Incident Management: restore normal service operations as quickly as possible to ensure the best levels
of service quality and availability.
12. Analyze operational activity to learn and improve:
Augmented and automated restoration activity fuels proactive improvement
AI Ops: applying analysis and machine learning to operational activity to understand, improve and predict.

üExpedite problem determination
üRestore service quickly
üBridge the gap between Dev and Ops
üAnalyze and improve operational health
Consolidated operational event and incident correlation, prioritization and resolution in the cloud
• 95% faster time to acknowledge incidents
• 75% less time performing event investigation
• 50% fewer repeating events
• 50% fewer generated incidents
IBM’s Operations Management track record sets the bar:
• 30% faster incident resolution
• 75% fewer events presented to operators
