New Release: The Gorilla Guide to…® Managing and Planning a Modern IT Infrastructure, Express Edition!
Diagnosis is key both to fixing existing problems and avoiding future ones. Fittingly enough, “Diagnosis” is name of a popular weekly column in the New York Times where doctors struggle with strange disabilities that arise in people who were seemingly healthy. The doctors juggle symptoms, tests, family history, and environmental factors to search for the elusive cause. Like a medical TV show, “Diagnosis” always comes up with a cure—but sometimes after the patient has suffered for years.
Diagnosing issues can be just as complicated in IT. In Managing and Planning a Modern IT Infrastructure, Express Edition, author Ed Tittel shows how HPE InfoSight’s Resource Planner can help you quickly diagnose problems with the network. Even better, it can help you place and migrate your workloads to avoid congestion, and plan the expansion of your platform to meet the needs of growth.
Like doctors today, Resource Planner exploits multiple modern sources of insight. It uses machine learning to derive unexpected insights from the wealth of data generated by hosts, network components, virtual machines, databases and other applications, and more. It offers predictive analytics to tell you where to put your resources most effectively. It maintains extensive information on a wide range of commercial databases and other products. And it even draws on knowledge from other customers. A typical dashboard in Resource Planner appears in Figure 1.
Read Managing and Planning a Modern IT Infrastructure, Express Edition to see how cross-stack analytics—an understanding of many different systems and applications—can help you optimize your computing environment.
