When Gartner predicted that by “2025, 85% of infrastructure strategies will integrate on-premises, colocation, cloud, and edge delivery options, compared with 20% in 2020,” it was clear that a seismic shift in how we monitor and manage infrastructure was on the horizon. We’d already lived through multiple generational shifts within data centers: from monolithic to client-server; from LAN to WAN; from physical systems to virtualized infrastructures; and even to compute and storage modes that served temporary, containerized workloads. The increasingly distributed and diverse landscape would put even more pressure to meet and exceed availability, performance, and security SLAs.
