This document discusses the need for IT teams to unify big data and traditional IT infrastructure management. As big data projects grow rapidly within organizations in different silos, a unified approach is needed to manage complexity, scale, and visibility across systems. The CA Unified Infrastructure Management (CA UIM) solution provides a single pane of glass for monitoring big data frameworks like Hadoop, MongoDB, and Cassandra alongside traditional IT infrastructure. It offers comprehensive coverage, customizable dashboards, performance analytics and intelligent alerts to improve services levels and reduce costs associated with multiple monitoring tools.
