What is AIOps?

Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) represents a transformative approach to managing and optimising IT operations. At its core, AIOps is the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with big data analytics to automate and enhance IT operational processes. This integration is not just about addressing incidents reactively; it aims to proactively manage and prevent issues in increasingly complex IT environments. The necessity of AIOps has become pronounced with the evolution of IT from static and threshold-based monitoring to dynamic and predictive observability and with the demand for self-healing systems that prioritise service quality. Large organizations need also to limit human effort in favour of automation, as recommended by Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles.

The main benefits of AIOps

Speeding up IT tasks

Activities typically take minutes or even days to complete each task in traditional IT operations. With the implementation of AIOps, these processes are expedited to the order of seconds, particularly for automated and AI-powered tasks.

Reducing workload

In IT Operations, significant and repetitive effort is required, with humans overseeing every aspect. With AIOps, the effort becomes sporadic, letting humans focus on new developments and innovative solutions rather than routine tasks.

Minimising IT errors

Traditional operations face frequent errors, often stemming from human mistakes, particularly when individuals are fatigued or under pressure. AIOps experiences zero or just a few errors (again, attributable to humans rather than flaws in the software itself).

The three main phases of AIOps

AIOps streamlines IT management through a three-phase cycle: Observe, Engage, Act. This cycle enhances efficiency and reliability using advanced analytics and machine learning to autonomously resolve IT issues by analysing extensive data, promoting a proactive IT environment.
