The IT Infrastructure Monitoring Dilemma

Ask any member of the operations staff if monitoring is a good thing. Chances are, the answer will begin with “Yes, but...” A monitoring tool is a powerful addition to any IT infrastructure. By monitoring the IT infrastructure, the organization helps ensure the company meets the target ROI for technology investments. Monitoring solutions also help deliver the appropriate application service levels, in addition to optimizing overall infrastructure performance. The end result is higher customer satisfaction.
As technology in the operations center has grown more complex, the traditional monitoring tools have struggled to keep up. This resulted in the emergence of the “point tool.” a specialized product built to examine a specific technology. Over time, many point tools were acquired by one of the large “Big 4” system management vendors. The end result was that a few large vendors ended up with a mish-mash of random, unintegrated technologies that are complex to install, configure, and maintain.
