While the growth trajectory for data in general is extraordinary, it is the growth of log files that really stand out. As the heartbeat of digital enterprise, these files contain a remarkable amount of intelligence – across a stunning range, from security to customer behavior to operational performance. The growth of log files, however, presents particular challenges for the enterprise. They are not “readable” per se, they require machine intelligence.

For the last couple of years, I have been highlighting yearly predictions at the beginning of each year. For 2023, I would like to expand on one of the trends that I briefly mentioned in my 2022 predictions: superclouds. Since then, there have been a lot of discussions, vendors staking their claims, and clarity around superclouds. In this article, I will look at how observability, AIOps and automation are going to be key tenets for supercloud abstraction and adoption in 2023.

OpenTelemetry is a popular open-source project that provides a standardized way of collecting, processing, and exporting telemetry data from distributed systems. It is designed to be vendor-neutral and supports multiple programming languages and platforms. OpenTelemetry consists of several components that work together to enable telemetry collection and processing.

The GigaOm AIOps Radar Report 2023 recognized CloudFabrix as an Outperformer, Leader and Innovator for a 3rd consecutive year. One of the only two Outperformers this year, CloudFabrix has been hailed specifically for- Join our exclusive webinar with Ron Williams, Principal Analyst at GigaOm and Shailesh Manjrekar, CMO, CloudFabrix as they explore why CloudFabrix is one of the only two Outperformers for GigaOm Radar 2023.

It’s great to be back to another action and innovation-packed Cisco Live 2023. Continuing my tradition of posting Cisco Live Announcements/Highlights (catch Cisco Live 2022 Highlights here), I am putting together my thoughts and perspective on Top-10 Cisco Live 2023 Announcements and Highlights. Cisco Live 2023 happened at Mandalay Bay Convention Center, in Las Vegas, NV, from June 4th to June 8th. In-person attendance was more than 20,000+ people This year’s key theme is around the following.

In line with its platform strategy, Cisco launched a vendor-agnostic full-stack observability platform built on OpenTelemetry at its signature North American partner and customer event in Las Vegas, the Cisco Live 2023. With nearly 20,000 attendees, the show was full to the brim with product, strategy and partner announcements. Scroll to the end of the article to learn more about Cisco Full Stack Observability (FSO) and how CloudFabrix is helping bring Cisco’s vision to life.

The traditional approach to operations management is quickly growing extinct in organizations, given the replacement of siloed architectures by integrated systems that can work with the multi-cloud, microservices, Kubernetes and distributed architectures of the modern enterprise. While modernization of IT operations was already in full swing, the pandemic tipped it over. Through the pandemic, IT operations teams were on their toes and continue to be as organizations adopt hybrid work approaches.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence in every domain is very apparent, and as a result, the impact of AI on IT operations needs to be comprehended by one and all. AI, or artificial intelligence, is a field of computer science that focuses on developing intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence and decision-making. But what exactly are IT operations?

If you research modern observability solutions to manage multi-cloud and hybrid IT environments, you will inevitably learn about OpenTelemetry (OTEL or OTel). The technology has become so rampant that dev or ops professionals still unaware of it are afraid to ask what it actually means. Fret not, as we’ll describe it for you here.
