How to Increase Data Center Performance while reducing Costs?

DevOps + NetOps process is the latest philosophy that’s working exceptionally well in managing IT Infrastructure. 

SaaS Companies for whom Data Center Colocation is a compelling requirement can achieve significant cost reduction in by synchronizing their development teams, Network Operation teams. And within NetOps, ensuring that networks teams and the Security Teams operate in tandem is the trick of the trade.

Bundled APMs, NPMs

Are you auditing IT Infrastructure costs with a view to reduce wastage and duplication of effort? Then have a second look at the security analytics tools, Application Performance Management solutions and Network Performance Management applications. The chances are the vendors have bundled Network Recording facility with any of these tools/ applications. The vendor may be offering such integrated packet capture solution purely out of friendly intentions.
But the overload on rack space, hardware increases costs and drives up power consumption many times.    

Duplication of Packet Capture:

The duplication of packet capture tools actually occurs as the networks teams and the Security Teams buy their own NPM or APMs each of which comes with its own packet capture tools, which in turn is overloading the system as discussed.
Then it should be a simple matter of tracking these applications at the time of purchasing or subscribing to them. Given the pace at which SaaS Companies need to work, you may not find enough time and even if you do, evaluating different software calls for expertise.

Remote Managed IT Infrastructure Services:

Focus on Core Activity
If you want to be free to focus on your core activity and leave essential but standard tasks, think of a Remote IT Infrastructure Management. A provider with DevOps specialization can assess your needs objectively, evaluate applications from an independent point of view (say without being constrained by platforms, technologies and so on,) and recommend what would be best for you.

Here in the simplest scenario, DevOps is nothing but knowing both sides of the table; the client that is you and the vendor of the application.

DevOps goes beyond Agile Development in the sense that while Agile provides a holistic framework, DevOps solves the day-to-day problems which brings practical returns in dollar terms.
