Pursuing Full-Stack IT Observability

Observability is the buzzword in the IT industry helping businesses achieve the holy grail of enterprise reliability. By providing a holistic view of system performance, observability tools help organizations monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize their cloud-native environments to deliver exceptional customer and user experiences.

However, implementing observability is not without its challenges. From navigating a complex web of tools to avoiding vendor lock-in, organizations need to make smart choices to avoid costly mistakes and maximize the benefits of observability.

In this presentation, join Tosin Olapade (Head of Enterprise Observability and Availability at Sterling Bank) as he discusses how observability is shaping the future of enterprise reliability. Join the session to explore:
- The common challenges of implementing observability in complex, distributed systems.
- Best practices for selecting and integrating observability tools into your tech stack.
- How to overcome cultural resistance and encourage collaboration between teams to maximize the benefits of observability.
- And more...

Enterprise Strategy Group conducted an in-depth survey of 357 IT, DevOps, and application development professionals to understand the current state, challenges, and opportunities in observability and found:
1. There is near-universal pressure on organizations to accelerate operations.
2. As observability practices expand, complexity and tool sprawl increase.
3. AIOps and cloud cost optimization tools burgeon to accelerate IT and DevOps.

In this engaging research-based presentation, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) Lead Analyst for Observability, Sustainability, and IT Operations will give an overview of the current state of adoption and explore the three major themes that are impacting how organizations adopt, deploy, and use Observability tools today. Use this information to benchmark your own observability practice and to learn best practices that organizations use to get the most value from their observability investments.

Over the past several years you have likely adopted (or planned to adopt) an observability strategy. As you dig into the Metrics, Logs, and Traces (and maybe Events too), you may have realized that increasing amounts of data don't necessarily make your problems go away.

Tune in to hear from Moogsoft CTO, Richard Whitehead and Director of Product Marketing, Kai Rostcheck for a conversation on how to extend Observability into AIOps for a single-pane-of-glass, and the benefits of less noise, fewer incidents, proactive detection, more meaningful insights, and improved automation of your incident management process.

The session will cover:
- The Evolution of Observability
- Common Challenges with Observability
- AIOps: What Is It and Where Does It Fit In?
- Key Use Cases of AIOps with Observability
- Q&A
