The well-being of the infrastructure that underpins your vital applications is crucial for effective application delivery. A failure in your infrastructure leads directly to a breakdown of your applications. Furthermore, the infrastructure is dynamic and not fixed; it frequently undergoes changes regarding both its configuration and layout. Therefore, IT departments must take a proactive stance in managing and monitoring their IT infrastructure to identify performance problems, map out application network paths, create network diagrams, track changes in configurations, and resolve infrastructure-related issues. Utilizing a variety of methods such as SNMP, WMI, streaming, CLI, traps, syslog, and synthetic testing can provide a comprehensive view of the performance of enterprise infrastructure. Additionally, employing native health scoring can quickly pinpoint which devices and sites are experiencing degradation, facilitating rapid problem resolution. This comprehensive approach ultimately ensures a more resilient and efficient IT environment.
