Who we are...
eG Innovations is a provider of enterprise-class performance
management products that provide complete visibility across
every layer and every tier of dynamic & complex, cloud,
virtual and physical IT environments to reliably deliver
mission-critical business services.

Why customers come to us...
• 75% of IT organizations are suffering
from degraded business applications
– IDC Research
• 70% of the time, IT organizations learn
about performance problems from
end-users
- Gartner
• 31% of performance issues take more
than a month to resolve or are never
resolved
- Forrester
Why is my
application
slow?!!!

What we do...
eG Enterprise takes measurements at every layer of every component of
an end-to-end IT service, learns the norms of all measurements, and
through patented analytics automatically isolates which layer of which
component is the source of an anomaly.
Today we do this across any cloud deployment model and from code to
bare metal.

APM/IPM
•
•
•Saying that management consists
of a monitor function and a
control function is useful as a
quick pneumonic, but this hides
the complexity required in order
to effectively manage
applications (or any other
object). The monitoring and
control of an application is not
achieved in a vacuum.
- Application Performance Management (APM) in
the Digital Enterprise: Managing Applications for
Cloud, Mobile, IoT and eBusiness, Sturm, Rick;
Pollard, Carol; Craig, Julie

Audience Poll
• What are your biggest performance
management challenges today?
A. Finding the root-cause of performance issues so
we can prevent them from reoccurring
B. Mapping business impacts of performance
issues in real time
C. Lack of an overall performance monitoring
strategy
D. Monitoring from the perspective of the end-user
to help prioritize improvements

WHERE ARE WE YOU NOW?

2018’s Gold Rush
• Cloud is an as-a-service operating
model and will require
transformational change
• Public Clouds SLAs are not your SLAs
• People/Process capability gaps may
present greatest risk
94% of Organizations Using Cloud

Hybrid Cloud
67%
Public
Cloud Only 22%
Private Cloud Only 5%
Not Using Cloud 6%
In 15 months, 80% of all IT budgets will be committed to
cloud apps and solutions

Black Boxes and Black Holes
• Black Box monitoring is
outside-in
– Tests externally visible behavior;
i.e., Real User Monitoring
– Service Level Agreements
Monitoring distributed systems - O'Reilly Media Apr 27, 2016
“[Black box] ...Testing
externally visible
behavior as a user
would see it.”
“...white-box monitoring is
sometimes symptom-
oriented, and sometimes
cause-oriented, depending
on just how informative
your white-box is.”
• White Box monitoring is
inside-out
– Provides details about the
internal state
– Required for root-cause analysis

It’s not just data gravity that creates clouds as
black holes--
AppsSvcs
Data
Gravity
They’re called clouds, but they could just as well
be called black holes. Amazon Web Services and
those that have followed have demonstrated a
voracious appetite for sucking in computing
workloads
How Amazon has become the black hole of the cloud world
CRN Magazine, June 2017
“cloud service providers are
catching on that they need to
build and operate a service
similarly to how an enterprise
runs their services ... This
transparency will help
enterprises have greater
confidence in the cloud ...
Allan Leinwand, Chief Technology Officer - ServiceNow
lack of transparency is also an issue

Containers and microservice architectures
• 'Cloud native’ refers to applications or services that are container-
packaged, dynamically scheduled and micro services-oriented1
• Bare metal (physical infrastructure) and virtual machines will coexist with
container technology; hyperconverged infrastructures can provide
flexibility to leverage both approaches

are often comprised of

Hyper-Converged
Infrastructures
• Organizations must adopt a

- WHY SERVICE ORIENTATION IS
IMPORTANT FOR CLOUD

– A services-oriented approach is paramount

Observability Monitoring
Monitoring and observability
Dev Test Stage Prod
Unified monitoring solutions must cross-correlate code-level and transaction-level
performance with the health of the supporting physical, virtual, container and cloud
infrastructures
Digital Business Services that are designed with observability in mind
provide mechanisms that build telemetry into the service that can
trigger self-healing through embedded analytics and automated
diagnostics.

Technology
Unified monitoring is an important element of a
culture of observability and transparency.

Embedded analytics
• Applying AI and observability to large data sets may not be
the same as embedding analytics into a unified monitoring
solution
Dev Test Stage Prod
Unified Monitoring
• Reach across all tiers
• Depth throughout each tier
• Speed of diagnosis
Unified monitoring is most effective when there’s a single source of
actionable truth. It’s what moves us away from diagnosis-related
activities, and toward collaborating on how to establish self-healing
properties when that diagnosis is identified. This is not only more
cost-effective, it’s a more “unifying” activity than troubleshooting.

CONCLUSION

Performance monitoring best practices 2018
• Digital Business Services Orientation
• Understand what you’re monitoring from the eyes of the
customer
• Visibility/Observability
• Recognize that observability and monitoring are
complimentary and both are required for unified
monitoring
• Proactive Analytics
• Analytics focused on observability drive design; monitoring
is about rapidly isolating performance issues– both are
needed
• Single Pane of Glass
• Achieving a single pane of glass for performance monitoring
will require an accepted and ongoing program of work

• eG and/or our Authorized Partners can provide Professional
Services
– Standard Installation support
– Implementation Support
• Monthly baseline analysis reporting
• Knowledge transfer & training
