A Better Answer: Cross-Team Collaboration
Convergence in Tools, Data &Teams for:
• Faster recognition of problems
First indications can rise anywhere – need all ears (and data collectors) open
• Faster problem isolation
By technology domain and topology (network/server/app, local/cloud, phys/virtual)
Modeling and automated root cause analysis
• Faster diagnosis & troubleshooting of incidents
Contextual traversal from high level view to successive levels of detail
Multiple viewpoints needed because each situation is different
• Faster restoration of services
Shorter MTTR – the ultimate goal!

Integration, Convergence, or Unification?
Some Definitions
• Integration – Connecting independent products together to achieve
broader coverage of the managed environment. Can be event-
level, GUI-level, or data-level
• Convergence – Collecting together a series of related products (usually
from a single vendor) and pre-integrating them for simply modular
deployment. Usually includes common dashboard, standard look & feel
and seamless navigation between products. May still require multiple
databases
• Unification – A single executable solution that covers multiple
technologies, domains, functions, and operator use cases with a single
central database

4 ‘C’s of Effective Integrated/Converged/Unified
Management
Coverage
• Finding solutions that can collect and
present all of the data required for
effective visibility
Capabilities
• Finding solutions with sufficient feature
scope to truly reduce MTTR, by
facilitating accelerated
identification, diagnosis, and analysis
Complexity
• Finding approaches that are not „brittle‟
due to multiple integration points between
independent products
Cost
• Finding approaches that don‟t break the
bank – either up front or over the long run
