The Rising Threat of the Enterprise Debt Crisis

by Charles Araujo, in Intellyx Cortex Newsletter

In enterprises around the world, there is a looming crisis that will dramatically impact their ability to compete and transform.It’s the enterprise debt crisis.

As this crisis continues to worsen, it is hardening organizations and creating evermore rigid structures that are antithetical to the speed and agility they so desperately need in this period of continuous disruption.

But this debt crisis has nothing to do with finances or even capital. If you’re thinking that I’m talking about so-called technical debt, well, you’re only partially right.

The debt crisis threatening the enterprise includes the well-documented technical debt hanging around the neck of organizations, but it also includes two lesser-discussed and much more insidious forms of debt.

And the bill is coming due... [Read the rest of the article here.]

     

In the world of information technology operations, observability extends the principles of IT monitoring by pulling together data from logs, metrics, traces and events to empower operators to identify root causes of issues and resolve them quickly. Cloud-native observability, in turn, extends these capabilities to Kubernetes and, by extension, the full gamut of multicloud hybrid IT.

Cloud-native observability is not only relevant to organizations that are implementing Kubernetes, however. As cloud-native computing represents a paradigm shift in enterprise IT, the observability part of the story also reflects new ways of leveraging technology to ... [Read more]

IBM Power Systems Bring Mission Critical to the Cloud

Intellyx BrainBlog for IBM by Jason Bloomberg

IBM recently announced updates to its Power Systems line of servers. As with most server product announcements, the latest crop of Power Systems from IBM has better performance and more capacity than the previous generation, all at a lower cost.If you’re an existing Power Systems customer, all these updates are good news. But for the rest of the IT community, why should you care?

The Cloud from IBM’s Perspective
IBM’s 2013 acquisition of SoftLayer put it into the public cloud business, but it never managed to join the rarefied air of the top three public cloud providers. Similarly, its Power Systems line has had years of success, but enterprises looking to equip their private clouds have been more likely to turn to Dell or HPE for their servers.

Now that IBM cloud exec Arvind Krishna has taken the reins at Big Blue, IBM is doubling down its cloud strategy. The company is focusing in particular on the mission-critical needs of its largest enterprise clients, who have always been a sweet spot for IBM ... [Read more]
     

We’ve been talking about Service in IT for a long time. More recently, concepts such as Service Design, the Service Experience, and even Human-centered Design have made some headway into the IT mind space.

But while we’ve given these topics some lip-service, most organizations have paid little attention—and devoted few resources—to embracing experience design and embedding into the development and operational culture.

The recent pandemic, however, has brought some emerging trends to the forefront of IT’s reality and accelerated their impact—and in so doing, may finally make experience design a... [Read more]

The New Normal
iGrafx blog post by Jamey Heinze

Early on, when talking with another analyst, Charles Araujo with Intellyx, we realized that the new normal that enterprises would have to deal with would, in fact, be a state of continuous disruption. Whereas in the past, businesses created business continuity plans (BCPs) with the belief that they’d “flip a switch” in the event of a disaster (i.e. hurricane, act of terrorism, flood, etc.), and then pivot back immediately when the event was over. Sadly, there will no longer be an “over.” We are only part of the way into this marathon race that is Covid-19, while at the same time facing global racial unrest, global economic recession, a pivot to...

“New Relic is positioned well, with a good reputation as both an established company and one that’s focused on modern cloud-native trends, as long as they don’t take their eye off the ball,” said Jason Bloomberg, president at analyst firm Intellyx in Suffolk, Va. “But this is still a very noisy space that will continue to shift, and it’s always difficult to tell a modern story without confusing your existing customer base.”...
