Take on IT Operations Realities
Now more than ever, the weight of the business rests on the shoulders of IT Operations teams. Not only must IT teams keep old and new applications running flawlessly, but they must also enable new computing models such as cloud computing, desktop virtualization (VDI), and mobile applications. As a result, most IT organizations spend 80 percent of their resources on maintaining their existing systems and only 20 percent on supporting new initiatives that add value to the business.
In a perfect world, IT Operations teams could flip this dynamic around by regularly analyzing their application environments and then proactively fixing issues before they cause major problems. This proactive approach would improve service levels and free up time for IT innovation.
The reality, however, is that few IT organizations can spare the time to regularly examine the health and performance of their entire application portfolio, even if they are able to gain visibility across the network, web, VDI, database, and storage tiers of their environment.
Enable Continuous Service Improvement
Atlas Services remote analysis reports from ExtraHop change this dynamic by augmenting IT organizations’ analysis capabilities and resources. The report reflects the accumulated expertise of the ExtraHop support engineering team and engagements with IT organizations at dozens of Fortune 1000 companies. This PDF report is delivered monthly with analysis and specific recommendations for critical components, such as:
- Web applications
- Citrix VDI
- Database servers
- Storage infrastructure
- Network infrastructure
- Network services (DNS, LDAP, FTP, etc.)
- Application communications
Atlas Service remote analysis engagements use the following methodology:
- Baseline performance – The ExtraHop platform automatically discovers and classifies all the components in the application delivery chain and passively analyzes their performance. This measurement forms the basis for subsequent improvement.
- Acute issue diagnosis – ExtraHop support engineers learn about an IT environment and use the ExtraHop platform to examine more than 85 performance metrics, identifying outliers in performance metrics that affect end-user experience.
- Chronic issue diagnosis – In addition to acute issues, ExtraHop support engineers diagnose potential issues that the IT organization should monitor with alerts on their service dashboards.
- Continual service improvement – ExtraHop support engineers identify opportunities for tuning and optimization to improve the efficiency and reliability of the application environment.
- Action list – The report includes a list of recommended follow-up items for acute issues, chronic issues, and continual service improvement. The impact of implementing these recommendations can be measured immediately with the ExtraHop platform.
- Post-action results – Subsequent reports provide a record of previous activity and recommendations, and report on the results of previously recommended changes.
