Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations
(AIOps) uses technologies like Big Data and Machine Learning (ML) to automate
the resolution and identification of the common problems of Information
Technology (IT).
Zero Incident
Framework (ZIF) is an AIOps based TechOps platform which enables proactive
detection and remediation of incidents which helps an enterprise to move
towards a Zero Incident Enterprise.
Five modules of ZIF:
- -
Discover: To auto-discover all
the IT assets and mission-critical workloads
- -
Monitor: End-to-end enterprise
performance monitoring
- -
Analyze: Analyze and correlate
alerts/events across tools
- -
Predict: Predictive techniques
to prevent outages
- -
Remediate: Prescriptive
remediation with minimal or no manual intervention
Predictive Analysis is ZIF’s USP. ZIF encompasses Supervised, Unsupervised and Reinforcement
Learning algorithms for realization of various businesses use. They are:
Supervised Learning Algorithm:
·
Linear prediction
·
Seasonality based prediction
·
Recommended resolution
·
Virtual Supervisor
·
False Probability
·
Anomaly Deduction
·
Estimated Time to Complete
Unsupervised Learning
Algorithm:
·
Sequence-based mining
·
Keyboard extraction
·
Sentiment Analysis (CSAT)
·
Data labeling
·
Log Analytics
-
Reinforcement Learning
Algorithms:
·
Log Rotation
·
Optimizing resource utilization
How does ZIF work:
-
- ZIF can receive and process all kinds of data through its ingestion capabilities
- -
Predicts anomalies by analyzing
these data
- - Anomalies can be presented as ‘Opportunity cards’ to eliminate any undesired incidents
- - It brings out the paradigm shift since its proactive and reactive
- - Predictions occur at multiple levels
Sub-Functions of the Predictive Model:
Functions:
-
Forecast capacity needs
·
Provides accurate resource
utilization and usage predictions
·
Orchestrates the virtual
infrastructure
-
Forecast Incident Volume:
·
Predicts to spike and exceed
capacity
·
Predicts corrective actions
-
Detects potential failures:
·
Forecasts when capacity is
about to exceed
·
Identifies problems even when
they originate somewhere else
Benefits:
- -
Reduced manual effort
- -
Reduced errors
- -
Reduced cost of operations
- -
Optimized staffing
- -
Proactive IT Operations
- -
Drive towards zero outage
- -
Enhanced user experience
Predict module can
categorize the opportunity cards into three swim lanes. They are:
- - Warning swim lane: Opportunity Cards that have an “Expected Time of Impact” (ETI) beyond 60 minutes.
- - Critical swim lane: Opportunity Cards that have an ETI within 60 minutes.
- - Processed / Lost: Opportunity Cards that have been processed or lost without taking any action.
