Hybrid cloud environments have streamlined the movement of workloads and data between private and public clouds, offering flexibility, control, and multiple options for data deployment. However, managing these environments presents unique challenges.
Fragmented visibility due to separate monitoring tools for on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud infrastructures creates confusion and hinders performance optimization. Correlating data from these disparate sources to pinpoint the causes of issues becomes a time-consuming task. Furthermore, migrating applications and ensuring seamless accessibility across environments can be complex. Inconsistent configurations and siloed data during migration can lead to unforeseen bottlenecks and accessibility issues.
ManageEngine Site24x7 is a one-stop shop for predicting, analyzing, and troubleshooting problems in on-premises, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud environments. It brings diverse layers of IT infrastructures, including microservices, containers, databases, networks, websites, and applications, onto a unified console, providing you with granular insights into every event and transaction. It integrates all the metrics from the distinct components of your ecosystem, making them available in a meaningful, usable way. This helps you resolve issues faster and meet your IT goals.
1. Establish single-pane visibility for all your on-site computing, private cloud, and public cloud environments
Correlating data is important when the same metrics are monitored with the same names and labels at different frequencies. The most challenging part of all of this is unifying these KPIs to attain a one-pane view, which is the holy grail of a hybrid system.
Imagine a web application hosted on Azure that relies on a critical database located on premises. If the web application experiences slow performance, it is important to narrow down to the cause of this hiccup. In this case, it could be Azure App Service, which hosts your application; Azure SQL Database, used for on-premises to cloud migration; or the on-premises database server that stores your application data. Juggling across each environment creates confusion and inefficiency.
Site24x7 provides a consolidated portal for all your on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud environments so you can visualize application performance metrics, resource utilization across cloud and on-premises infrastructures, and any security events. Our single-pane setup lets you switch between these aspects seamlessly. It enables you to see how resources in all environments interact so you can detect anomalies faster.
2. Mitigate issues related to migration and accessibility in your hybrid cloud environment
A hybrid cloud environment is often prone to issues related to the migration and accessibility of applications, processes, and services outside their dependent environment. Often, an application's transition can be impeded by differences in configurations and APIs, making it complex to migrate and manage the application seamlessly.
Site24x7 stays with you throughout your migration procedure, ensuring the optimal functioning of your workloads by monitoring each component involved in the migration, including your on-premises environment, Azure environment, databases, APIs, VMs, and network connectivity. It helps you conduct a pre-migration and post-migration assessment of your infrastructure by monitoring the status of the environment before and after the transition, identifying potential bottlenecks, helping with resource capacity planning, and finding cost-optimization opportunities.
Site24x7 also automatically discovers and maps interdependencies between applications and resources, helping you understand how a migrated component might impact others. You can now seamlessly migrate your applications from legacy setups like IIS to Azure App Service without any hindrances, ensuring high interoperability and continuous access to your applications regardless of their environment.
3. Scale up to meet the demands of dynamic architectures by monitoring your entire tech stack better
Gain granular visibility across all your applications, systems, and services in minutes by obtaining out-of-the-box support for your entire infrastructure stack with over 150 integrations. Leverage Site24x7's robust, prebuilt setups for on-premises, cloud, multi-cloud (including Azure, AWS, and GCP), and hybrid cloud environments to reduce onboarding complexity and get your hybrid cloud observability running quickly. This allows for harmonious integrations and instant insights.
Site24x7 also monitors your containerization (Kubernetes, Docker, and OpenShift) and virtualization (VMware, Nutanix, and Hyper-V) technologies comprehensively to help increase the efficiency and productivity of your IT and development teams.
4. Employ intelligent monitoring with the IT trinity: Capacity planning, anomaly detection, and IT automation
Cloud environments are known for their scalability. Scale to meet your monitoring and utilization needs and avoid resource contention by predicting and prioritizing resource allocation based on utilization patterns and application requirements. Forecast the capacity needed for your hybrid cloud with Zia forecasts by observing historical patterns and trends and plan your resource utilization way ahead of time. Use the Zia-powered AI framework for anomaly detection to identify unusual spikes or aberrations and proactively prevent performance crises in your hybrid environment before they impact your production setup.
Orchestrate management actions to initiate corrective responses, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Let automated workflows handle critical operations in your systems. Separate resources based on their subscription, resource group, service, and location; associate them with resource tags; and regulate resource alerts and automation. Receive alerts and collaborate efficiently during incident remediation through various third-party workflow channels to reduce the MTTD and the remediation time across on-premises and multi-cloud environments.
5. Analyze performance details through intuitive dashboards and in-depth reports
Site24x7 offers an array of visualizations for your hybrid environment. Utilize the various interactive dashboards, including the Inventory Dashboard, Infrastructure Dashboard, and Service View, to get a comprehensive overview of your cloud inventory details, critical performance metrics, and cloud service and resource lists. This helps you manage your ecosystem better for around-the-clock uptime. You can also handpick and monitor KPIs specific to your on-premises and cloud requirements and personalize your monitoring experience with the Custom Dashboard.
Get in-depth reports on root causes, resource availability, performance, health trends, inventory, and more. Receive actionable insights into enhancing your security posture and managing costs efficiently, inching away from conventional ideas about monitoring and moving towards observability with Site24x7's exclusive Guidance Reports for cloud setups.
6. Get an all-encompassing, observable environment that aligns with your modern IT goals
Organizations adopting a hybrid cloud approach should invest in a monitoring tool that can scale to meet their IT needs. With observability comes the power of correlation, which helps isolate the root cause of each problem without impacting the business. Businesses need a bigger picture of outages to avoid their recurrence. Site24x7 enables you to identify and troubleshoot performance issues across the entire IT stack. You can now correlate incidents across your hybrid setup and zero in on the issues making the performance of your IT environment stagnate.
