IT Infrastructure-Monitoring Tools

Abstract

Clients often ask me, what's the cost of our IT services? How do they map to different applications? What are the availability and performance of our services in geographically dispersed centers? How can we effectively reduce the total cost of ownership while improving service quality? A good starting point is to actively use IT-monitoring technology. It provides a quantitative starting point that-with a good understanding of IT systems and service needs-facilitates improving your IT performance. In this installment, Josune Hernantes, Gorka Gallardo, and Nicolás Serrano provide an overview of recent monitoring technologies. I look forward to hearing from both readers and prospective column authors about this column and the technologies you want to know more about. -Christof Ebert PROVISIONING NEW INFRASTRUC-TURES and applications has never been so easy. Virtualization and cloud computing have made this process routine. The result for enterprises' IT infrastructure has been an increased number of diverse elements to manage. Furthermore, nowadays systems are usually geographically dispersed or use different OSs, which complicates their management. This situation has renewed the importance of an old topic: monitoring IT infrastructures and applications. Also, as more businesses rely on software, IT system health is critical for 24/7 customer service and support. The systems can be on-premise applications, applications on a public or private cloud, or any combination of these.The rst step in this process is monitoring the IT infrastructure at the hardware, service, and application levels. Figure 1 describes the architecture.Here, we discuss current tools that monitor networks to detect issues, ensure the components' availability, and measure the resources those components use.

Pemantauan Jaringan Menggunakan Nagios Dan Zabbix Dengan Notifikasi Telegram Messenger Dan Google Mail

“…Zabbix adalah software open source yang menawarkan kinerja hebat untuk pengumpulan data dan bisa digunakan untuk skala lingkungan besar. Ini memungkinkan pemantauan server, perangkat jaringan, dan aplikasi, mengumpulkan statistik dan performa data yang akurat (17). Zabbix dapat menampilkan grafik dengan sangat baik dan menampilkan data yang sangat akurat karena data bisa di update setiap detik (18).…”

Technological Evolution Agility and Dynamic IT Capabilities: A Delphi Study

“…As highlighted by Tallon et al [1], organizations are constantly trying to balance between the "desire to be agile with an ongoing process to streamline IT operations and limit IT spending (p.2)". Due to constant technological evolution, the number of diverse IT components forming organizational ITI are continuously increasing, and managing an ITI has become the main concern for practitioners since it could potentially jeopardize an organization's agility [2,18].…”

“…To cope with the effects of constant and rapidly evolving technologies on organizational agility, managers must have an articulated vision of their ITI as well as the ability to acquire, deploy, combine and reconfigure their ITI [2,19]. Such ability is needed to generate organizational value and sustain competitive advantage [2,20], to support organizational agility [3,19], and to deal with the challenges and opportunities triggered by constant and rapid technological evolution [18,21]. Thus, organizations must have dynamic IT capabilities to purposefully create, extend and modify their ITI to handle these challenges and opportunities as well as to maintain organizational agility [13,15,22].…”

Management and Monitoring of IoT Devices Using Blockchain

“…Necessary changes to the configuration of network nodes can be made automatically based on the observation of the network behavior. Most of the popular network monitoring systems and tools [ 2 ] focus primarily on measurements and tracking of network status. They usually provide various levels of management through plugins and extensions.…”
