What is AIOps?
The term “AIOps” stands for “artificial intelligence for IT operations.” Originally coined by Gartner in 2017, it refers to the way data and information from an application environment are managed by an IT team -- in this case, using AI. Here’s Gartner’s definition:
“AIOps platforms utilize big data, modern machine learning and other advanced analytics technologies to directly and indirectly enhance IT operations (monitoring, automation and service desk) functions with proactive, personal and dynamic insight. AIOps platforms enable the concurrent use of multiple data sources, data collection methods, analytical (real-time and deep) technologies, and presentation technologies.
Since AIOps is an emergent space, the definition is highly fluid. But the core elements consist of:
