IT is changing at an ever-accelerating pace. Moores Law used to be the principle by which we considered the evolving performance/cost of computing, but today this seems to be less useful, instead, we need a model that considers how many layers of systems do we manage.
AIOps is an area of technology that is developing rapidly and is generally accepted to mean “using machine learning to contextualize large amounts of data”.
While data analytics systems are great at identifying unusual patterns in large amounts of data (for example in a data lake) they can be quite poor at providing context to the signals they detect.
The Nastel Technologies Advisory Board was formed in 2021, a critical time for enterprises today. Made up of business and IT leaders from a wide variety of sectors, the common thread is that these enterprise leaders and innovators understand the incredibly important role of the integration infrastructure layer (including messaging middleware and much more) in their hybrid enterprises.
Information Technology as an industry is deeply divided into disciplines. Many organizations have built detailed models to describe all the elements, and how they fit together. ISO and ITIL and what seems like hundreds of additional standards organizations have written books, run conferences, and sell consulting services to help describe just how complex everything is.
Companies considering migration to a cloud environment usually focus first on infrastructure, from data centers to system performance to storage.
But even before you select a cloud environment, the fundamental issue to be considered must be security.
Cloud is not new. The term dates back at least twenty years. Some people will tell you that the term “cloud” just means using someone else’s computing environment, and in some ways, this is where it started.
Live Webinar – De-risk your Messaging Middleware Infrastructure!
Date: Wednesday, April 21st at 11 am ET/8 am PT
Speaker: David Liff, Vice President
Host: Steven Menges, Head of Product Management
Messaging middleware platforms are amongst the most stable and as a result, can suffer from under-resourcing as the accepted business logic is to focus resources where more immediate issues exist.

Customer experience, also known as CX, is a hot topic today. Observability and AIOps (machine learning and artificial intelligence for IT operations), can be used for determining and linking transaction performance to your business performance, in real-time. That makes them hot topics as well. I recently spoke with two experts about the intersection of these topics to discuss what leading companies are doing (and evaluating) in these areas, and how they’re doing it. The discussion includes these areas:
- AIOps
- CX (Customer Experience)
- Observability
- Advanced Troubleshooting and RCA (root cause analysis)
- Next Generation Monitoring / APM
- End-to-end Message and Transaction Tracking
- IBM MQ, Kafka, and challenges with monitoring and management of multi-middleware environments
- Build vs.
