Modern IT infrastructures have evolved significantly in recent years. Compute infrastructure is now largely virtualized, and most organizations are leveraging cloud platforms. With network, storage and application virtualization on the horizon, and the entire technology stack becoming dynamic, complexity will continue to increase. Most organizations still rely on either a monolithic legacy monitoring solution that can’t adapt to today’s dynamic technologies or dozens of siloed "specialty" monitoring tools that provide a fragmented view of operations. Both of these approaches are not only expensive from a licensing perspective, but, more importantly, they result in unplanned service disruptions and an inability to respond quickly to business needs.
