Observe – Analyze – Act. An introduction to HPE OpsRamp

HPE’s presentation at Cloud Field Day 23 introduced OpsRamp, a SaaS platform designed to address the challenges of modern IT environments. OpsRamp provides a unified approach to managing diverse infrastructure by focusing on observing, analyzing, and acting on collected data. This involves ingesting data from various sources, such as applications, servers, and cloud environments, into a central tool, enabling users to access all their data in one place.

The platform’s key features include robust analytics and automation capabilities. OpsRamp utilizes machine learning to assist users in analyzing data, identifying issues, and automating corrective actions. This automation streamlines issue resolution, potentially reducing resolution times significantly through integrations with over 3,000 systems. Furthermore, OpsRamp offers both agent-based and agentless monitoring options, providing flexibility depending on the type of resources being monitored.

OpsRamp differentiates itself by offering full-stack monitoring and an AI-powered analytics engine that can integrate with existing monitoring tools to correlate alerts across disparate tools. It provides both broad monitoring capabilities and integration of existing tools. The platform’s licensing model is subscription-based, determined by the number of monitored resources and the volume of metrics collected, with data retention policies tailored to different data types.
