Broadcom Debuts Groundbreaking WatchTower Platform for Mainframe Observability
05 Mars 2024 - 3:00PM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) announced today the availability of the
WatchTower Platform™, an innovative, open observability solution
that improves business performance by streamlining identification
and resolution of high-priority incidents in the mainframe
environment. WatchTower enhances visibility across IT silos by
integrating and correlating events, data flows, signals, and key
metrics. This enables operations teams to rationalize and
coordinate workflows with far greater efficiency. It also enhances
alerts with pertinent context, allowing teams to improve the
signal-to-noise ratio so they can zero in on those alerts most
critical to ensuring continuous business operations.
To ease implementation, WatchTower builds upon the foundation of
already-popular mainframe AIOps solutions while enhancing the
visibility of mainframe telemetry in enterprise observability
tools. It integrates operational tools, workflows, data, and
machine learning insights from sources across the enterprise into a
unified, user-friendly experience catering to a range of skill
levels. By doing so, WatchTower can detect patterns that may
indicate actual or potential problems at an early stage. This frees
organizations to address minor issues before they have a chance to
impact operations.
“IT teams today are drowning in a flood of data that continues
to grow at a truly staggering rate. This makes it challenging to
find and react to the critical insights that could impact their
business operations,” said Greg Lotko, senior vice president and
general manager, Mainframe Software Division, Broadcom. “WatchTower
tackles this challenge head on by giving organizations better
visibility into how application resources are performing
end-to-end. That improved awareness is a huge advantage for those
teams who are constantly pressed to make their monitoring and
problem resolution more efficient.”
A Broadcom customer puts the value WatchTower represents in
perspective. “If we can detect that a problem is brewing, much
quicker, in the early warning system, automation and other
technologies can react and make decisions,” said Mohesh Punjabi,
executive director, Morgan Stanley. “As a result, organizations are
empowered to transition their mainframe operations from reactive
recovery to proactive avoidance.”
Making Enterprise Observability Mainframe
Inclusive
WatchTower also leverages OpenTelemetry, an open observability
framework, to stream key insights and mainframe performance
telemetry to distributed application traces in observability tools,
such as Datadog, Grafana, New Relic, Splunk, and Jaeger. This
extends the view of a request’s workflow, makes interactions with
mainframe services visible, and ensures that analysts have
real-time information to identify bottlenecks and the impact they
have on the end-user experience.
“The availability of mainframe telemetry in this open
observability framework is a huge step forward,” said Cory Minton,
field CTO, Splunk. “Now, organizations can fully observe the
end-to-end structure of applications across their entire hybrid
cloud, giving them a fantastic window into their overall health. As
a result, not only can organizations identify root cause of errors
and performance issues much faster, it’s now possible to determine
the effect they have on the processing of business
transactions.”
WatchTower also includes existing support for enterprise
integration through open APIs, currently used by products such as
Broadcom’s DX Application Performance Management (DX APM).
The WatchTower Platform Suite seamlessly integrates new
capabilities with established AIOps solutions based on SYSVIEW®,
OPS/MVS®, NetMaster®, and Vantage™. Existing customers of these
solutions can immediately harness WatchTower’s new capabilities at
no additional cost.
