IBM Concert And Instana Collab’s for Next-Level Automation

Announcing IBM Concert and Instana’s integration: simplifying application resilience, risk, and observability. Application owners and site reliability engineers (SREs) face the increasing difficulty of managing complexity, preserving performance, and resolving vulnerabilities across hybrid, multi-cloud architectures in the present fast-paced digital ecosystem. IBM is excited to announce the new IBM Concert and IBM Instana integration, a combined solution that fills important gaps in application management and observability. It prioritises your efforts to reduce the risk of application vulnerabilities by providing automated insights and streamlined procedures.

Concentrate on the important aspects of the concert

The data from your application tells a tale. IBM Concert uses Artificial Intelligence to find important information about your business and offers suggestions for improvement that are tailored to your particular application. IBM Concert allows you to:

Pay attention to what matters most

Receive remediation advice and AI-driven solutions that are tailored to your apps and prioritised so you can focus on what really matters.

Automate the process of troubleshooting

Receive insights and remediation recommendations that reduce the mean time to resolution, along with automated data analysis from various systems and tools.

Boost the health of your app

Increase application uptime and reduce risk by being more proactive about application security and health by spotting operational problems early on.

Increase output

Boost productivity by following Concert’s advice quickly and automating tedious processes like creating tickets.

Gain access to cloud-native functionality with Instant Observability

Automate the process of fixing problems. Convert context into action.
Use AI to boost performance.

Get rid of DevOps tasks

Leverage AI and automation to help DevOps increase productivity. Cut down on monotonous work to free up more time for creativity.

Reduce expensive incidents

To fix problems and cut down on revenue-robbing downtime, record the whole application and infrastructure context.

Effectively manage IT

Rely on machine learning (ML)-powered smart alerts to proactively detect issues so you can troubleshoot more quickly and shorten the time it takes to resolve them.

Deploy where necessary

IaaS tracks interrelated dependencies throughout currently complex cloud-native world, regardless of whether your IT architecture is on-premises, public cloud, or a combination of both.

Making life easier for owners of applications

The challenge

One issue that application owners have consistently complained about is the manual correlation of source code, runtime environments, and vulnerability assessments. In addition to affecting app owners’ productivity, this laborious and prone to mistakes process makes it more difficult for them to promptly fix vulnerabilities and preserve application performance.

The solution

With the Concert-Instana connection, you can now analyse vulnerabilities across your apps and runtime environments with IBM Concert enhanced “Arena View,” which offers an easy-to-use visualisation of the full application architecture. Through the correlation of runtime environments, namespaces, deployed clusters, images, source code repositories, and vulnerabilities, application owners can:

  • Determine significant vulnerabilities and evaluate real risk as soon as possible
  • Learn practical lessons about the performance and behaviour of the system.
  • Use a variety of risk measures, such as CVSS, network exposure, asset criticality, and global evidence of exploitation, to automatically assess each CVE.
  • Remove uncertainty so that your SRE team can prioritise vulnerabilities more strategically.

App owners may now rank vulnerabilities according to their possible effect and repair urgency with this improved integration.

Empowering SREs to focus on resilience

The Challenge

Manually connecting Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to runtime environments and applications is a common challenge for SREs. During high-pressure occurrences, this laborious procedure becomes more difficult, raising the possibility of mistakes and insufficient patching.

The Solution

SREs may observe CVEs and their status in runtime environments in a comprehensive, centralised manner with the Concert-Instana connection. With this degree of visibility, teams can:

  • Apply fixes to all impacted systems in an efficient manner.
  • Reduce the dangers associated with unresolved vulnerabilities.
  • See the identical CVE risk evaluation that the app owners have set up in IBM Concert.
  • Reduce the amount of human labour required to maximise the security and resilience of applications.

Instead of balancing reactive activities, SREs may devote their efforts on guaranteeing system dependability by automating these procedures.

Why the Concert-Instana integration matters

More than simply a technical improvement, IBM Concert and Instana’s collaboration marks a fundamental shift in how teams handle intricate, cloud-native apps. When combined, they provide:

Combined Perspectives

SREs and app owners have a common understanding of system dependencies, vulnerabilities, and performance.

Active Management

AI-powered suggestions and automated correlation guarantee that problems are resolved before they worsen.

Increased Efficiency

Reduced physical labour benefits both roles and frees up teams to concentrate on strategic objectives and innovation.

Organisations may reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, guarantee application security, and streamline observability by combining these two potent solutions. The outcome? an IT environment that is more robust, safe, and efficient.
