As computing ecosystems become more complex, monitoring and
analyzing those often disconnected moving parts becomes increasingly
challenging.
Today's data center has evolved from a
single supplier producing and selling all-in-one offerings, such as

you chose a vendor and stuck with it. Those same vendors provided you
with the required tools to monitor, analyze and troubleshoot their entire
stack.
