I’ve seen so many new types of infrastructure technologies impact the performance of the modern data center. All-flash technologies help consolidate systems, virtualization helps to deliver powerful workloads to a variety of users, and even convergence has helped remove legacy from the data center. Most of all, these solutions are all coupled with the cloud to really help an organization become agile and much more efficient. Still, as our data centers change, so will the way we keep an eye on how everything operates. And, beyond the infrastructure components that we’re monitoring and even cloud monitoring best practices; there’s a key metric business and IT leaders focus on to ensure they’re doing everything right. That is end user experience. There are some cloud infrastructure monitoring best practices to keep in mind that we will get towards the end of this blog.
Before we go on, let me put this into perspective. Gartner recently pointed out that by 2021, 60% of IT monitoring investments will include a focus on business-relevant metrics, up from less than 20% in 2017. As a result, the IT monitoring efforts of infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders should not start with collecting data from the infrastructure, but instead, should start with the business in mind. “Monitoring from the perspective of the business really means that enterprises should try to collect information that helps ascertain a business’ health,” said Will Cappelli, research vice president at Gartner. “Business performance is the only thing that really matters in terms of the goal of your IT monitoring activities.”And, who helps the business operate effectively? Users. And, with poor user experience, there’s just no way your business will be able to function properly.
