Controlling IT spend used to mean managing cloud invoices. Today, it’s far more complex. Modern enterprises run workloads across multiple platforms — cloud, virtualized, and on-premises — each with its own cost structures and dependencies. That’s why FinOps for hybrid IT has become essential. Extending FinOps principles beyond cloud services enables organizations to see how every part of the infrastructure contributes to cost, efficiency, and business value.

If your automation can’t trust the data it’s acting on, it’s not automation. It’s a guess. That’s why AIX automation monitoring is the foundation for success. Many teams encounter this gap when trying to automate AIX operations. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) and Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) can absolutely streamline routine tasks, like expanding filesystems or tuning adapters. But every playbook still depends on one thing: accurate, real-time monitoring.

IT Ops Problem Solver Series – Part 2: This article is a summary of a full report in our IT Ops Problem Solver Series. In this series, we’ll tackle the biggest problems facing IT Ops leaders and explore how some of Galileo’s clients are addressing them. In this part of the series, we delve into IT performance challenges and how to address them effectively.

In 2023, Galileo Suite introduced SMARTboards, our innovative customizable dashboards.

For decades, many of the world’s top enterprises have trusted IBM Power Systems to run their mission-critical applications. IBM’s proprietary Unix operating system, AIX, is widely used in enterprise IT environments for its reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). As a result, performance optimization of AIX infrastructure is crucial.

Today, everyone lives in a hybrid, multi-cloud world. The combination of continuously changing business drivers and complex, heterogeneous tech stacks means that virtually every organization has production workloads on-prem, in co-lo facilities, in private clouds, and in multiple public clouds. Moreover, your stack is likely often in motion, which requires you to manage workload migrations from one environment to another (and sometimes back again) as your needs change.
