Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) were first discussed by classical philosophers attempting to describe how the human brain works as a mechanical manipulation of symbols. Fast forward to the 1940s, and scientists began to explore AI and ML with mathematical reasoning and the introduction of the programmable digital computer. But even after the […]

End user experience monitoring is one of the key capabilities of an end-to-end application performance management solution. By tracking every transaction in the customer’s journey, IT professionals can optimize the user experience with end-to-end performance monitoring tools that quickly identify application issues and significantly reduce mean time to repair (MTTR). IT teams today must ensure […]

Applications have become the lifeblood of today’s businesses. Gone are the days when you had to pay bills by mail, or walk inside a bank branch to transfer money. And hailing a rideshare requires just a few taps or swipes on your mobile phone or smart watch. My Experience with IoT On a recent trip […]

This time last year, companies around the world were scrambling to meet the requirements of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, also known as GDPR. Designed to protect the personal data of EU residents, GDPR has had an impact far beyond just ensuring compliance with the management, storage, and sharing of personal data. And […]

For the first time, the European Union (EU) has recognized a country within the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum—Japan—as an equal in terms of privacy, opening a channel of free-flowing data between the two jurisdictions. Reaffirming their commitment to shared values in the field of privacy—and to strengthen their cooperation in shaping global standards for […]

A few years ago at the DevNexus developers conference in Atlanta, I was chatting with a few former colleagues over dinner. As an avid fan of the HBO show Silicon Valley, as well as a technologist impressed with the rise of serverless technologies, I jokingly said we should “build the Box“—i.e., a serverless appliance not […]

We’ve had some great wins at AppDynamics, and today was no exception. For the seventh time, we were named a Leader in Gartner’s 2019 Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring Suites. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of, but this wouldn’t have happened without our amazing team, and of course, our customers. You’ve challenged us to […]

Part one of our series on deploying AIOPs identified how an anomaly breaks into two broad areas: problem time and solution time. Part two described the first deployment phase, which focuses on reducing problem time. With trust in the AIOps systems growing, we’re now ready for part three: taking on solution time by automating actions. […]

In part one of our Successfully Deploying AIOps series, we identified how an anomaly breaks into two broad areas: problem time and solution time. The first phase in deploying AIOps focuses on reducing problem time, with some benefit in solution time as well. This simply requires turning on machine learning within an AIOps-powered APM solution. […]

Somewhere between waking up today and reading this blog post, AI/ML has done something for you. Maybe Netflix suggested a show, or DuckDuckGo recommended a website. Perhaps it was your photos application asking you to confirm the tag of a specific friend in your latest photo. In short, AI/ML is already embedded into our lives. […]
