Today, IT departments are faced with a whole host of different, extremely demanding tasks. Among other things IT must ensure smooth IT operations at all times. The huge challenge: almost all business-critical processes are supported by IT. To ensure that all business processes run smoothly, the infrastructures must be available at all times. A possible failure would be devastating for the entire company. Monetary damages, legal consequences and/or a considerable damage to the company’s image would be the consequence. In order to detect failures early and to react proactively, the IT environment must be under permanent observation. Because only errors that are known can be corrected. But how can IT ensure permanently smooth IT operations? In addition, the number of systems in a company is constantly growing and more and more applications are being used. Another problem: in most cases, the IT department still lacks an overview of the dependencies between the IT landscape and business processes.
The IT network at a glance at all times?
Keeping an eye on your own complex IT infrastructure is a mammoth task for an IT department. This task alone would be more than enough to keep an IT department in permanent employment and stress. But unfortunately, in reality, many special tasks such as preparation for audits etc. are added to this.
How should an IT department maintain an overview and understanding of the IT environment? This task can no longer be done manually, as the personnel effort involved is enormous and the up-to-dateness of the data can by no means be guaranteed. An enormous overload and frustration of the IT staff is the consequence.
Therefore the following requirements must be met: Among other things the data stock must be maintained automatically, since comprehensive transparency over the IT network, especially in complex IT environments, is only possible with a high degree of automation. Changes in the network must also be traceable and documented at all times. Correlations and dependencies between IT and business must be mapped, because this is the only way to detect problems and risks threatening the business at an early stage. In addition, an IT landscape can be understood best and also most quickly by using meaningful analyses and diagrams.
