A very happy new year to readers of this blog and supporters of Rishidot Research. As we enter a new decade with maturity in cloud services offered by various cloud providers and newer services focussed on IoT and AI becoming a hot topic, it is time to talk about what we expect to see this […]
Real Time Observability for Kubernetes with SwimOS
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 […]
Research Brief: Observability and Modern Enterprise
Summary The term Observability is fast moving towards the peak of the hype cycle but it is critical to managing the cloud native architectures in any modern enterprise. In this research brief, we stake out our position on the evolution of Observability in IT operations and highlight the potential of using machine learning and artificial […]
AI In Observability: Splunk Goes Further Bringing AI To Their Products
The role of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Observability is one of the focus area of research for us in Rishidot Research. It is our strong belief that using ML and AI on Observability data is absolutely necessary for the next generation observability products because Cloud native makes enterprise IT more distributed adding multiple […]
Virtual Panel: The role of ML/AI in Observability
Yesterday, we organized a virtual panel on the role of ML and AI on Observability. Our guests for the panel include: Andy Mann from Splunk Aneel Lakhani from Honeycomb Eric Wright from Turbonomic Rob Hirschfeld from RackN Andi and Eric took a more progressive view on the role of ML and AI while Aneel took […]
Swim.ai: AI, Observability and Edge Computing
With IoT becoming the norm across many industries, manufacturing to retail to public utilities to supply chain to many verticals across the spectrum, it becomes important to focus on the intelligence needed to ensure that this truly distributed system of devices are working seamlessly. In fact, we would even claim that the role of IT […]
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 […]
