The world of enterprise IT infrastructure is undergoing a paradigm shift and becoming more distributed with IT losing their tight hold on the infrastructure. With containers, microservices architectures and serverless functions, the needs of modern day applications are changing. As the container adoption in the enterprise increases, they also face increasing pressure on ensuring business […]
Multi Cloud Governance: Hard Problem But Essential For Success
Multi-Cloud is fast becoming the norm in the enterprise. At Rishidot Research, we estimate that most organizations will use more than one cloud provider by 2020. A recent survey by RightScale of 1,000 IT professionals found 85% of enterprises now have a multi-cloud strategy, up from 82% in 2016. Multi-cloud is fast becoming the de […]
AIOps: Few Considerations For Enterprise Decision Makers
AIOps is fast becoming the next big buzzword and is about using AI as the driver for operations. The early use of machine learning is in the area of observability while some vendors like Swim.ai use deep learning to offer intelligence at the edge. We expect to see more vendors using machine learning or deep […]
Autonomic Computing Will Happen Much Sooner Than You Expect
The term autonomic computing is nothing new. Ever since IBM used this as a marketing term in 2001, this term has been on the periphery of most people focussed on the future IT trends. Clearly, the term has been suffering from overzealous IBM marketing for a long time and, every time I bring this up […]

The increasing role of ML/AI In Observability
With Cloud Native becoming the hot topic in the modern enterprise space, the focus is shifting from the nature of underlying infrastructure for cloud native applications to topics like monitoring, log analytics, tracing, etc.. Not just the tools but the focus is also shifting on what one should be doing with these tools in the […]
Automation to Autonomic Computing: AI’s Increasing Role In Operations
Autonomic computing is not new. It has been in vogue since 2001 after IBM talked about it. But it has been in the sidelines ever since, as a research project with little mainstream attention. Industry conversation has centered on automation with cloud as the underlying fabric. Even though analytics has been playing a critical role […]
