I represent Integrien and our customers have tens of thousands of devices and hundreds of thousands of metrics they monitor. It’s just physically impossible for any human to be able to correlate that much data. Instead, companies are turning to a new generation of systems management solutions with real time, predictive analytics that are engineered to scale (Integrien’s Alive processes 4 million metrics every 5 minutes). Their goal is to correlate metric and alert behavior in real time and provide “automated intelligence” their Ops teams can use to predict and prevent problems before their impact their business.

But looking at it from a different perspective, how do you think other app vendors will react when I ask them with which automation tools their products work?

Will some vendors see this as a way to differentiate themselves, by including plug-ins for their apps for the various process automation apps? Are some already doing it?

Why should I and countless others have to ‘find a way of automating all of these tasks” when the app vendors themselves are better-positioned to do automate their product?
