AIOps Let Loose

Expect far more artificial intelligence platforms to be deployed on enterprise networks to help administrators maintain workload integrity amid a surge of new applications.

Algorithmic IT operations, or AIOps – a term recently introduced by Gartner – is an evolution of IT Operations Analytics. The practice allows network analysis and troubleshooting to be conducted in real-time to tackle the complexity of modern hybrid environments.

AIOps takes advantage of recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict application behavior before problems arise, and automate infrastructure management, allowing tasks and processes to be executed without human intervention.

Assaf Resnick, CEO of BigPanda, an incident response software developer, said the industry is on the cusp of embracing algorithmic tools and artificial intelligence for managing cloud infrastructure, taking "IT operations to a new level with advanced analytics."
