The weight of the enterprise rests on IT, and complexity is spiraling out of control. IT manages an increasing number of geographically distributed applications and infrastructure with so many moving parts that something nearly always is broken or degraded. The widespread adoption of new technologies, such as server virtualization, network attached storage, and cloud computing, provide greater flexibility and perhaps even cost savings, but new layers of management and complexity are added as well. New strategic initiatives and regulatory-compliance issues make the situation even less tenable.
A hodgepodge of legacy management tools, including packet sniffers, SNMP pollers, NetFlow collectors, and custom performance agents, have been thrown at these problems for decades but are lagging further and further behind. While the business expects flawless management of extremely complex environments, IT teams equipped with obsolete, manual tools are losing the battle.
IT infrastructure and applications will not become simpler. New technology, like the agentless real-time transaction analysis performed by the ExtraHop system, is required to keep pace with future demands.
