An introduction to

Visual Application Discovery & Analysis (VADA)powered by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager

The challenge:Enterprise Application Monitoring

Huge sprawl of applications Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Physical, Virtual, Azure…)

New and legacy applications Constant change

1. The Environment

Multiple app stakeholders & IT teams Traditional silo mentality between teams Many apps are never properly mapped / modelled Static app definitions quickly become out of date

and inaccurate

2. The Knowledge Traditional tools focused on infrastructure

monitoring Sprawl of monitoring tools Each tool provides a narrow, siloed view Next-gen, app-centric monitoring products =

extremely expensive and complicated

3. The Tooling
