Description

Improving business outcomes involves making it easier to spot and address high-priority incidents. The WatchTower Platform serves as a comprehensive observability tool that streamlines incident resolution specifically within mainframe environments by effectively integrating and correlating events, data flows, and metrics across various IT silos. It provides a cohesive and intuitive interface for operations teams, allowing them to optimize their workflows. Leveraging established AIOps solutions, WatchTower is adept at detecting potential problems at an early stage, which aids in proactive mitigation. Additionally, it utilizes OpenTelemetry to transmit mainframe data and insights to observability tools, allowing enterprise SREs to pinpoint bottlenecks and improve operational effectiveness. By enhancing alerts with relevant context, WatchTower eliminates the necessity for logging into multiple tools to gather essential information. Its workflows expedite the processes of problem identification, investigation, and incident resolution, while also simplifying the handover and escalation of issues. With such capabilities, WatchTower not only enhances incident management but also empowers teams to proactively maintain high service availability.

Description

Sift serves as a comprehensive observability platform specifically designed for contemporary, mission-critical hardware systems, equipping engineers with the necessary infrastructure and tools to efficiently ingest, store, normalize, and analyze high-frequency, high-cardinality telemetry and event data sourced from design, validation, manufacturing, and operations, all centralized into a single, coherent source of truth instead of relying on disjointed dashboards and scripts. By bringing various data types together, Sift aligns signals from different subsystems and organizes information to facilitate rapid searches, visual assessments, and traceability, thereby enabling teams to identify anomalies, conduct root-cause analysis, automate validation processes, and troubleshoot hardware with precision in real-time. Additionally, it enhances automated data reviews, allows for no-code visualization and querying of extensive datasets, supports ongoing anomaly detection, and integrates seamlessly with engineering workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and tools, thereby fostering telemetry governance, collaboration, and knowledge capture across previously isolated teams. This holistic approach not only improves operational efficiency but also empowers teams to make informed decisions based on rich, actionable insights derived from their telemetry data.
