First coined by Gartner in 2017, artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) refers to the application of machine learning to big data analytics for the automation and management of IT operations. Take any area of IT operations—log analytics, application monitoring, service desk, incident management, etc.—augment it with AI, and you’ve got AIOps. There are many ways AI can be integrated into existing IT operations to help your team be more proactive, accurate, and productive. Let’s take a closer look at the basics of AIOps.
Modern IT deployments must increasingly deal with bigger and faster data demands. This data is often unstructured and streaming in real time from a large network of siloed sources. AIOps platforms help ITOps teams make sense of the volume, variety, and velocity of big data.
Gartner defines AIOps platforms as tools that help organisations consolidate siloed data sources into big data to enable continuous insights across IT operations and monitoring (ITOM).
The best way to understand AIOps is to consider what a typical IT operations professional must do to respond to a disruption of services and how AI can automate the process. Gartner breaks the cycle of responding to and resolving disruptions into three steps:
By automating parts of the process, AIOps can help IT operations respond to disasters faster, minimizing recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs).
There are probably as many AIOps tools out there as there are IT operations that could be automated. Here’s a list of typical ITOps roles that may be automated with machine learning:
When picking an AIOps solution, it’s important to choose the tools that make the most sense for your organisation’s IT operations needs. Check out “5 Ways AIOps Helps DBAs Beat Burnout” to learn more about how AIOps can help your business.
