In the ever-evolving and fast-changing landscape of cloud computing and modern software development, achieving 360-degree visibility into your critical business services, applications and infrastructure is essential. This is where observability comes into play. Observability, especially in a cloud-based or cloud-native environment, has become a critical aspect of maintaining and optimizing complex systems and services.

OpsRamp has enhanced its hybrid observability capabilities by adding an integrated log management solution to unify log, event and alert data within customers’ monitoring and event management command center. Presenting this log data as part of a unified view of IT performance data and integrating it with remediation capabilities will allow enterprises and service providers to expedite the process of identifying and resolving potential issues before they impact their business operations.
In the last two decades, the software industry has shifted away from on-premises applications to software-as-a-service (SaaS). SaaS now accounts for 70% of the business software market according to BetterCloud, and is worth more than $170bn annually, according to Gartner.

As another autumn fast approaches, any look back at the summer would be incomplete without a review of the latest round of Gartner Hype Cycle reports. The Gartner Hype Cycles are an annual summer ritual, a series of reports published every July (and sometimes August) that track the maturity, adoption and business impact of technology innovations.
