Gartner Market Guide for IT Infrastructure Monitoring Tools
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.

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.

Get the 2018 Gartner Market Guide for IT Infrastructure Monitoring Tools to see:

  • 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.

Get this interactive Choose Your Own Cloud Adventure E-Book to learn how Veeam and AWS can help you fight ransomware, data sprawl, rising cloud costs, unforeseen data loss and make you a hero!

IDC research shows that the top three trigger events leading to a need for cloud services are: growing data, constrained IT budgets and the rise of digital transformation initiatives. The shift to public cloud providers like AWS offers many advantages for organizations but does not come without risks and vulnerabilities when it comes to data.

451 Research: New Monitoring Needs Are Compounding Challenges Related to Tool Sprawl
The industry is trending toward the concept of observability as organizations aim to aggregate an array of operational data from their IT environments to generate deeper insights to monitor and optimize applications and infrastructure. However, achieving holistic observability is possible when the strategy is underpinned by effective monitoring and management practices, which is being complicated by the ongoing challenge of tool sprawl.

Monitoring a modern-day hybrid cloud environment
Adopting a hybrid cloud model provides IT teams with the advantage of on-premises infrastructure, the flexibility of the private cloud, and the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the public cloud. However, maintaining a hybrid cloud infrastructure requires you to monitor a complex spread of resources and applications, making monitoring a challenging pursuit. This whitepaper discusses the challenges of managing a hybrid cloud with a list of best practices for monitoring it.
Most enterprises are in the middle of their cloud migration journey, and 83 percent of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud by 2020, according to research by HostingTribunal. Of the enterprises that are migrating, many are choosing a hybrid cloud strategy. The combined on-premises and public cloud architecture benefits organizations by maximizing cost savings and addressing security concerns. For a successful digital transformation journey, organizations also need to implement full-stack monitoring of their hybrid cloud environment. The biggest challenge is finding a monitoring tool that oers complete visibility across the entire hybrid cloud architecture. This white paper discusses the essentials for adopting a hybrid cloud strategy, as well as the components that need to be monitored.
VMware performance and storage monitoring
Scaling up your VMware monitoring is a challenging game. IT teams have to constantly diagnose performance issues, rationalize their VM sprawl, and visualize their dynamic deployments to troubleshoot, manage, and cut costs. Read this whitepaper to understand why IT teams need an observability platform like Site24x7 to monitor their VMware deployments. Learn how Site24x7's detailed graphs and dashboards go beyond the default vSphere metrics provided onboard, to help observe all their VMware deplo
VMware virtualizes servers and consolidates resource allocation and usage. However, to reap the full benefits of this technology, it's important to understand the challenges surrounding VMware to overcome them and fully optimize their use. For this, it is necessary to understand the architecture of VMware resources, their usage, and performance at every step. To build a successful virtual environment, you have to first observe, understand, and evaluate the current trends and performance of your IT infrastructure, and then plan resource allocation for the future based on this analysis. This whitepaper illustrates the need to monitor different CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics and explains how these metrics provide visibility to your virtual environment. It will also discuss how each of them is important to eliminate over-commitment and under-provisioning.
