Hybrid IT Leads to Complexity and Lack of Visibility, Report Says
Nearly half of technology professionals (49%) say the continued adoption of hybrid IT computing is leading to more complexity for IT management, says Sean Michael Kerner, detailing findings from the recent SolarWinds IT Trends Report 2022 (https://it-trends.solarwinds.com/#/).
"The complexity comes in multiple forms," writes Kerner, "including the continued requirement to maintain legacy stacks and the fragmentation between old and new technologies."
Additionally, 49 percent of survey respondents noted that "visibility into their IT operations for infrastructure and applications has been diminished."
This lack of visibility and monitoring capabilities leads to organizational gaps, says Kerner, including the ability to effectively conduct anomaly detection and root-cause analysis and to gather metrics from disparate systems.
