Unveiling Innovation - Digitate's Flamingo Release

ITOps teams across enterprises are overwhelmed by the sheer scale of cybersecurity risks. The challenge is 2-fold – ITOps teams lack clear visibility of non-compliant entities and vulnerabilities, and also face delays in mitigation due to complexities and process gaps. Failure to address vulnerabilities in a timely manner leaves organizations exposed to even known and published threats.
But there’s hope - with unified observability and closed-loop automation, ITOps teams are better equipped to meet the increasing scale of IT operational risks. 
Today it is possible to get a holistic view of all security-related information- encompassing compliance checks, vulnerability scans, security incidents, and threat intelligence - to better assess operational risks. By integrating observability with intelligent automation, enterprises can take proactive measures to reduce operational risks and empower ITOps teams

Transforming the Future of Work: Digitate's Journey to Autonomous Enterprises

Observability projects have recently gained traction across enterprises, in an effort to improve visibility across modern multi-cloud environments and help resolve issues faster, ensuring business resilience. Unfortunately, most existing observability tools fall short due to discrepancies in data availability, as well as shortcomings of the tools themselves.
To be truly effective and comprehensive, observability needs to adopt a flexible approach for data collection across infrastructure layers and cloud service models, link IT metrics with business goals, and provide actionable intelligence, not just data analytics. At Digitate we call this approach “unified observability,” a unique capability to help enterprises gain visibility and control across the business-applications-infrastructure layers.
Join Digitate product manager and observability evangelist Monika Bhave and VS Joshi to discuss the core concepts of unified observability, why it is a must-have for every modern enterprise, and how it impacts both business and IT teams.
 During the webinar, you’ll learn:
• The core concept behind unified observability
• Challenges with traditional observability 
• How unified observability fits into existing IT ecosystems
• How business teams can leverage unified observability
• How unified observability helps IT teams to be proactive

Unified observability: Maximize visibility & control of multi-cloud environments

With exponentially increasing user expectations, a frictionless digital experience has become a primary need. This digital experience spans multiple dimensions. Currently, observability is predominantly focused on the vertical axis, encompassing asset hardware, network, operating system, and applications on an EUC device. However, for a frictionless digital experience, this alone is not sufficient. Other dimensions, such as compliance, security, and sustainability, also become critical.

These dimensions together are pivotal in enhancing the systemic digital maturity of an enterprise. Join our expert, Amit Patankar, with host Rahul Apte, as they delve into the significance of scalable observability and how it transforms digital experiences within enterprises.

Frictionless Digital Experience in Digital Workspace

The hallmark of leading ITOps practices is the ability to ‘monitor and observe’ complex IT landscapes to ensure business resiliency. In fact, most IT teams today have a plethora of tools at their disposal to monitor different parts of the overall IT stack, continuously gathering metrics, logs, and traces.
However, even with these tools, IT teams struggle to proactively detect and resolve issues that impact critical business operations before any damage is done.
With Unified Observability, such problems might become a thing of the past. Today, it is possible to continuously monitor the health and fitness of business operations by leveraging conjoint business-IT dashboards that can detect, diagnose, and remediate issues. These dashboards offer:

1. The convenience of drilling down from a business to an IT view of operations to detect issues requiring intervention.
2. The power to diagnose anomalies that can significantly affect business health and/or business transactions, based on the knowledge of domain models and their normal behavior.
3. The ability to trigger remedial actions to restore business operations that may be impacted.
Join us as we explore the value Unified Observability brings to teams that sit at the intersection of business and IT. We will cover how enterprises:
• Can maintain the health of business functions with vertical observability.
• Can ensure business process fitness with horizontal observability.
• Have leveraged unified observability to drive business resilience.

Can Unified Observability help bridge the divide between Business and IT?

Big data is a big deal!
With increasing focus on digitization and observability, organizations across the world are generating millions of terabytes of new data every day to capture different aspects of business, applications, and infrastructure. Yet there is a huge gap in using that data to derive analytics-driven insights and an even bigger gap in making those insights available and accessible to decision-makers. Digitate offers “AI-powered insights” as a modern take to bridge this gap. 

AI-powered insights are the result of applying data mining and machine learning techniques to automatically generate meaningful insights from the data and enable the business users to make data-driven decisions. They hide the technical complexity of machine learning models and algorithms, while translating nerdy analytical observations into meaningful insights and actionable recommendations. This process is driven by levers such as automated data quality assessment, model-driven reasoning, use of ensemble algorithms, explainable intelligence, and clever ways of bringing humans into the loop. 

Join this webinar to explore this modern space of automated insights and how it can enable smarter decision-making in aspects of IT operations including performance and capacity management, event and incident management, risk mitigation, cloud optimization, batch process management, and business health monitoring.
