Introduction to AIOps

“AIOps” stands for “AI for IT operations,” refers to the way data and information from a dev environment is managed by an IT team — in this case, using AI. AIOps platforms leverage big data, machine learning, and analytics to enhance IT operations via monitoring, automation, and service desk functions with proactive and personal insights, enabling the use of multiple data sources and data collection methods. In theory, AIOps can provide faster resolutions to outages and other performance problems, in the process decreasing the costs associated with IT challenges.

The benefits of AIOps are driving enterprise adoption. Eighty-seven percent of respondents to a recent OpsRamp survey agree that AIOps tools are improving their data-driven collaboration, and Gartner predicts that AIOps service usage will rise from 5% in 2018 to 30% in 2023.

But when deploying an AIOps solution, businesses without a clear idea of potential blockers can run into challenges. That’s why it’s important to have a holistic understanding of AIOps before formulating a strategy.
