In a world where digital transformation constantly rearranging the business landscape, IT needs to stay on top of things. Observability and monitoring are becoming increasingly important because the IT team faces the challenge of optimizing customer experiences while maintaining visibility and managing a complex technology landscape. Observability throughout the IT environment will be a key to success in the future. Insights into the performance of applications will directly impact the company’s ability to meet user needs.
Cisco has started talking about Full Stack Observability, FSO. FSO gives IT insight into the entire IT environment and gives them the ability to troubleshoot and optimize. “With great observability comes great powers.” Let’s look at what superpowers observability brings to the IT department.
Superpower 1: Observability Helps You Find the Root Cause Faster
Today, it is crucial to be able to quickly identify and address the root causes of IT-related problems. With visibility across the entire IT infrastructure, IT can quickly isolate and address underlying causes of performance issues. This paves the way for better collaboration between departments and reduces unnecessary IT downtime. This superpower turns the challenge of managing complex IT environments into an opportunity to strengthen the company’s digital sustainability.
Superpower 2: Observability – Understanding Application Dependencies in a Complex IT Environment
Applications and services are becoming increasingly intertwined and understanding their interdependencies is critical. By using observability tools, decision-makers, as well as IT, can get a holistic view of how applications interact with each other. But also their dependencies on the underlying infrastructure. This not only facilitates troubleshooting and performance optimization but also strategic planning and innovation. By keeping track of application dependencies, companies can act proactively instead of reactively and ensure smooth operations.
