ServicePilot aims to deliver a precise representation of IT systems and applications, focusing on aspects such as security, availability, and performance. Teams face a significant challenge in ensuring that applications operate flawlessly while maintaining high performance and security standards. This task has become increasingly difficult in the context of agile development, where changes are frequent, the pace of evolution is rapid, and the complexity of information systems architecture continues to rise. The IT landscape has transformed dramatically since the advent of various technologies: cloud computing has become commonplace, mobile devices are now incredibly powerful, the Internet of Things is expanding rapidly, and the introduction of micro-services and containers is revolutionizing application development. These shifts have created new demands, and legacy tools are struggling to keep pace, proving inadequate for modern requirements. Consequently, there is a pressing need for a new generation of monitoring solutions. Additionally, it is crucial to remember that the underlying infrastructure, network, and storage are integral components that must also receive attention, as applications depend on these elements for their functionality. Thus, a holistic approach to monitoring is essential for success in today's complex IT environment.
