Your team is working on a critical project when an unexpected issue arises in your multicloud environment. Until you can troubleshoot the problem, key people and resources are going to be diverted from essential business activities, causing delays and frustration.
Deadlines could be missed and customers frustrated, all because you took a reactive approach to infrastructure management. Today, nothing but a proactive approach will ensure an optimized operation.
That’s where ModOps comes in.
What is ModOps?
Modern operations (ModOps) is an approach to managing and optimizing multicloud environments proactively. It involves applying DevOps principles and practices to your operations, focusing on automation, monitoring and continuous improvement to improve resiliency.
ModOps teams focus on minimizing downtime, helping ensure compliance and optimizing performance by leveraging advanced tools and processes. ModOps aims to enable organizations to take full advantage of cloud benefits while minimizing the operational challenges and risks associated with managing complex cloud environments.
Proactive ModOps is essential for businesses looking to stay competitive and agile, while not suffering from burdensome costs.
