ITOA solution

Data analytics and the use of large amounts of data have long been standard in specialist departments, but analytics tools have rarely been used to optimize IT system operations.

With Datavard Insights, the software and consulting company Datavard presented an IT operations analytics solution (ITOA) at Sapphire in Orlando. This creates forecasts and models based on user behavior and system data, enabling new insights and well-founded decisions.

"Over 80 percent of our customers know little or nothing about how their data or systems are really being used"

explains Gregor Stöckler, CEO of Datavard.

"If you want to optimally support the business, you need these insights to optimize systems and costs, to invest in the right places and to guarantee the security and high availability of the system landscape."

Based on a holistic analysis of application usage and system performance, Datavard Insights enables the simulation of a wide range of scenarios and the identification of trends and patterns. IT managers use this knowledge to optimize costs, system operation or as a decision-making aid for future investments in new technologies such as Apache Hadoop, Hana or S/4.

In addition, big data scenarios or Industry 4.0 applications can be practiced and tested in a familiar environment.
