The Role of Metrics and Monitoring Tools in Command Center Performance

Summary: The utilization of various tools and software can provide a command center with a drastic increase in performance.

In every effective command center, lies a set of high-performance tools that provide the data center with metrics that pertain to its’ overall performance levels. Furthermore, these analytics tools play a crucial role in helping the team sustain an efficient work flow that benefits the company.

This article is designed to showcase various components that you can implement in your command center to improve performance levels, improve the capacity of utilization metrics, enhance your forward planning.

End-User Experience

As you already should know, end-user experience is the name of the game. The more complex the data center is, the more difficult it is to obtain visibility into the user’s environment. With so many major organizations implementing real-time data peering into their staff’s desktops to monitor, capture, and record every interaction that is made, it’s no wonder these organizations are light years ahead of their competition when it comes to technology.

Implement Monitoring Tools

Out of the sea of monitoring tools available, there are numerous monitoring tools as well as problem resolution software that can be utilized to improve performance and maintain optimal operation. In turn, this reduces costs due to the fact that there is less need for people as opposed to automated systems.

The right tools will undoubtedly lead to an increased level of performance coming from a command center. For example, if you’re running on a system that’s comprised of thousands of computers that require updating on a daily basis, you can almost guarantee that any slight changes within any of these connected computers will create a gaping hole and compromise the entire system – barring an emergency protocol. The aftermath of this is drastic increase in cost.
