With the onset of more modular and cloud-centric architectures, many organizations with disparate monitoring tools are reassessing their monitoring landscape. According to Gartner, hybrid IT (especially with IaaS subscription) enterprises must adopt more holistic IT infrastructure monitoring tools (ITIM) to gain visibility into their IT landscapes.

The guide provides insight into the IT infrastructure monitoring tool market and providers as well as key findings and recommendations.

• The ITIM market definition, direction and analysis
• A list of representative ITIM vendors
• Recommendations for adoption of ITIM platforms
  

Key Findings Include:

• ITIM tools are helping organizations simplify and unify monitoring across domains within a single tool, eliminating the problems of multitool integration.
• ITIM tools are allowing infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders to scale across hybrid infrastructures and emerging architectures (such as containers and microservices).
• Metrics and data acquired by ITIM tools are being used to derive context enabling visibility for non-IT teams (for example, line of business [LOB] and app owners) to help achieve optimization targets.

• Deliver the user experience on any device and make the process simple for users and IT alike.
• Lighten the load for your IT team by creating a unified workspace for a simple environment that’s easier and faster to manage.
• Automate cleanup of end users’ workspaces and synchronize applications with the latest versions, all without disrupting end-user productivity.
• Enable anywhere operations using your preferred cloud — on-premises, public, or hybrid.
  

What Can IT Leaders Do to Counter Endpoint Cost Inflation?

"Inflation and supply chain challenges have resulted in device costs increasing up to 20% since the start of 2021, placing significant pressure on budgets for end-user computing. This research identifies three key actions IT leaders must take when faced with extreme budget pressures."

How can IT Leaders counter this endpoint inflation? Recommendations include producing a TCO report on endpoint devices and refreshing, not replacing old hardware.
