What is ITOM?

IT operations management (ITOM) plays an active part of larger IT management models, including IT infrastructure management (ITIM), data center infrastructure management (DCIM), etc. It comprises all of the networking and application monitoring tasks that help you offer uninterrupted, good quality service delivery to end users. An effective ITOM strategy helps organizations ensure network health, performance, and seamless service delivery, which are the critical components to garner client satisfaction and stay ahead of competition. With that being said, organizations should not spend all their time, effort, and budget on using different tools to simplify their ITOM tasks. A unified tool that offers a clear, well-defined process to help them gain the right amount of visibility into their IT infrastructure and ensure peak performance, is the need of the hour.

Benefits of a unified ITOM platform

A well structured ITOM platform can help businesses resolve critical IT infrastructure bottlenecks. With an end-to-end IT infrastructure management solution ensuring optimal performance, organizations can:

  • Simplify IT resource management: Manage an organization's ITOM in a centralized manner, carry out resource request fulfillment, and enable seamless IT help desk functioning.
  • Monitor health and performance of devices: Conduct regular health and performance checks for the various physical and virtual infrastructure components, and ensure their reliable performance.
  • Avoid prolonged downtime: Setup proactive monitors to predict issues before they disrupt your IT and ITOM. Track misconfigurations, and perform periodic backups of critical configurations to enable effective incident response. Plan and implement effective disaster recovery strategies.
  • Monitor and manage network traffic: Ensure optimum bandwidth consumption, and shape traffic accordingly to avoid your IT infrastructure succumbing to bandwidth pitfalls.
  • Meet global compliance standards: Make sure all devices are compliant with the latest security compliance standards, and automate periodic backups, and compliance checks.
  • Enhance capacity planning and provisioning: Understand and identify your network resource utilization trends and stay ahead of resource outages. Log historical utilization metrics and trends, with automated reports. For instance, you can plan storage needs well in advance to accommodate ever-increasing business requirements.
  • Minimize impact on end users: Monitor business-critical applications and servers to ensure that the end-user experience is not affected. Ensure security is enforced across all vulnerable endpoints.

Challenges in ITOM: Why do you need an unified ITOM solution?

While ITOM helps network admins gain visibility into network resources, modernize IT infrastructures, and automate processes, without an unified IT operations management solution, management process can be complex. With networks becoming hybrid, distributed, and dynamic, network admins might face challenges such as:

 

Limited visibility

IT admins require full visibility into all layers of the infrastructure.

 
 

Disparate tools and data sources

Multiple ITOM tools cause data silos and poor visibility. Unified platform ensures consolidation, visibility and better decision-making.

 
 

Lack of integrations

Collaboration and communication are vital part of IT operations. Integration options are critical for seamless IT Ops.

 
 

Scalability, high costs, and budget constraints

Expensive tools and complex licensing strain IT budgets. As a result, integration and scaling becomes tedious.
