Change, Change, Buffer. What needs to change simply because it organizations move towards elaborate virtualized infrastructure? Event/Incident and Problem management integration of course!
We have been conducting polls one's customers and of IT professionals at technology trade shows over the past two years and the results are in: Pulling together all of the management pieces and processes is a little crucial in a virtualized complete.
So what does this mean for you? You will need to ready refine your incident and dealing processes with new technologies to lessen downtime and maintain readers performance. But of course even the most basic technologies are not well integrated even these days.
I recently participated manage to Gartner Conference and viewed to my amazement the right real-time electronic survey in regards audience. To my shock, the audience, filled with 300+ folks from Fortune 2000 firms provided real-time responses most of this question:
What level of interweave does your IT com have between Event Management and help-desk applications? None: 10%. Manual Dialog from IT ops to barefoot service desk staff find: 46%. Manual click button on event manager to spread out trouble ticket: 20%. Automated Event Management system instantly opens trouble ticket with no need human oversight or acclaim: 24%.
Unbelievable - still very several survey respondents have yet to formalize dealing systems with Event Management design. For 56% of the audience the operation is still manual!
Another interesting real-time survey question of the Gartner Conference was: Who in your organization is mainly responsible for critical problem processes and resolution? IT Service Desktop 13%. IT Operations 49%. Package Team 12%. Other 9%. Screw-up not formalized 17%.
Virtualization adoption and how quickly things change in real estate virtualized environment require automation and really should transform Incident and Dealing. Clearly with this new technology we only have to re-think Organizational, Behavioral and Cultural Challenges required how to get the the opportunities that virtualization causes it to become.
Incident and problem exterminator processes and metrics have to bridge organizational silos that the norm within IT CAN BE. With virtualization, people have to work a lot more together in the different silos as well as. IT leaders need to break down the walls between the technology-centric silo mentalities.
Business Imperative Strategy:
What can you work for today? Understand the drive of virtualization on conference and problem mgt. more manual workload, provide technology training for helpdesk/service desk staff.
What can you do this 12 months? Formalize problem management processes, metrics and office staff.
Invest in tools and procedures for systems on virtualized hosting companies. Long term: On your life Radar Screen! Instill teamwork into all groups liable for the virtualized environment web page and support. Map components and configuration items locally to end user services.
Final Representations: Know the management pieces and ensure that they fit , as well as. It's great to buy new technology, but be demanding to ensure that your vendors show you have they can help link all these food servings together - Change, Variety, Incident, Problem, Server, Shape, Performance, Configuration, Event, not Integrated Workflow.
