Managed Observability Service: A New Era for IT Operations
Introduction
The rise of complex and diverse IT environments has called for innovative solutions to monitor, visualize, and quickly address unexpected issues. Uniadex, a part of the BIPROGY Group, has recently launched the
Managed Observability Service. This service aims to enhance IT system operations by providing comprehensive visibility and rapid response capabilities for unexpected incidents.
Overview of the Managed Observability Service
The Managed Observability Service is strategically designed to cover a plethora of infrastructure setups—whether on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid environments. The goal is to monitor infrastructure, applications, and user experiences seamlessly. This service facilitates the early detection of issues, pinpointing
why and
where faults occur, thus enhancing operational efficiency. By employing this service, clients can expect not only optimization of their IT systems but also an improvement in customer satisfaction resulting from quicker issue resolution. The Managed Observability Service is a noteworthy addition to the
GASSAI™ brand of managed services.
Background
The complexity of modern enterprise IT systems is ever-growing, driven by on-premises infrastructure, cloud solutions, and hybrid or multi-cloud architectures. The widespread adoption of cloud-native technologies, such as containerization and serverless computing, reflects this trend. In such sophisticated operational environments, traditional monitoring—merely tracking what is happening—is no longer sufficient. Instead, businesses must embrace
observability, which encompasses understanding the reasons behind unexpected occurrences.
Specifically, web applications involve intricate interactions among various components, including front-end user interfaces, back-end processes (data handling), and integrations with third-party APIs. This complexity necessitates the swift detection of issues that detract from user experiences, such as performance slowdowns or errors. Likewise, for SaaS applications widely utilized within organizations, prompt identification of issues influenced by external factors is critical. Such capabilities directly contribute to improved employee productivity and satisfaction.
Distinct Features of the Service
1. Broad Coverage and Issue Visualization
The service offers extensive observation across on-premises, cloud infrastructures, applications, SaaS tools, and user experiences. Particularly in hybrid or multi-cloud settings, it's capable of cross-environment monitoring. Moreover, external endpoint monitoring of SaaS and web applications can be conducted globally. This level of observability enables services and system performances to be assessed from the user’s perspective, leading to enhanced response quality and decreasing inquiry volumes.
2. Comprehensive Data Collection and Analysis
The observability functionality spans all layers—infra, middleware, and applications. It allows for cross-layer collection of events, logs, trace data, and metrics. While deploying observability frameworks traditionally requires significant expertise, Uniadex simplifies this through best practices in implementation and operation, ensuring clients can utilize the service comfortably.
3. Enhanced Response Time and Reduced Operational Load
With a 24/7 monitoring framework and initial response services, the Managed Observability Service robustly supports client operations. The system is designed to detect anomalies at any time, enabling immediate alerts and first-response actions by Uniadex’s service desk, significantly relieving the operational burden of in-house IT teams.
4. Usage-Based Support for Observability
This service encapsulates all prerequisites for achieving observability, including necessary platforms, incident management systems, dedicated dashboards, observation items, and standard metrics, within a subscription-based model. This minimizes the initial capital outlay typical in building an observability infrastructure while facilitating smoother cash flow management.
5. Service Offerings and Pricing
Clients gain access to a bespoke service desk portal for inquiries and incident management. A personalized dashboard displays pertinent system performance metrics. Additionally, monthly incident reports visualize response outcomes, enhancing transparency of service interactions. The service price varies based on selected options for service desk functionality, monitoring extent, and operational support levels.
Future Directions
Looking ahead, the Managed Observability Service will broaden its scope to include network layers and PaaS setups across public clouds, along with container environments. The integration of AI for automated responses is also on the horizon, with plans for incremental service expansions. Through this innovative service, Uniadex continues to contribute to the stability and growth of clients' IT systems.
