AIOps in IT Infrastructure | Progressive Infotech

Overview

Enterprises across India are rapidly adopting digital technologies, cloud platforms, and hybrid IT environments. With this transformation comes complexity — distributed applications, rapidly growing data volumes, and 24/7 service demands. Traditional IT monitoring and management methods are no longer enough to ensure seamless operations.

To tackle these challenges, Indian enterprises are turning to AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations). By applying artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data analytics, AIOps helps organizations shift from reactive to proactive and predictive IT infrastructure management. This is especially critical in industries such as BFSI, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing where uptime, performance, and customer experience directly impact business outcomes.

IT leaders surveyed in India (85%) believe that their existing IT infrastructure is ready for the demands of AI, while only 56% in Asia-Pacific have certainty about the ability of their infrastructure for AI.

What is AIOps?

AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) is the application of AI and ML algorithms to automate, enhance, and optimize IT operations. It ingests massive amounts of data from logs, events, monitoring tools, and infrastructure components, then analyzes it in real time to detect issues, predict failures, and recommend or execute remediation actions.

In short, AIOps empowers Indian organizations to:

Ensure faster incident resolution.
Reduce costly downtime.
Improve service reliability.
Deliver better digital experiences to employees and customers.

Why is AIOps Needed?

Traditional IT operations teams face several challenges that AIOps directly addresses:

Data Overload – IT systems generate terabytes of logs, metrics, and alerts daily. Manual analysis is impossible.
Noise & False Alerts – Teams are overwhelmed by redundant or low-priority alerts, leading to alert fatigue.
Reactive Problem-Solving – Most issues are fixed only after they impact users or business operations.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Complexity – Managing workloads across on-premises data centers, private clouds, and public cloud providers.

For Indian businesses scaling digital platforms, AIOps ensures resilience and agility by streamlining operations, predicting failures, and automating repetitive tasks.

What Are the Benefits of AIOps?

Proactive Monitoring – Detect issues before they impact end users.
Faster Incident Resolution – Reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).
Predictive Maintenance – Avoid outages with early detection of potential failures.
Resource Optimization – Improve utilization of servers, storage, and cloud resources.
Security Insights – Spot anomalies and suspicious activities to prevent cyber threats.
Cost Efficiency – Automate repetitive tasks and reduce dependency on manual intervention.

Benefits to Employee and Customer Experience

For Employees (IT Teams)

Fewer hours spent on repetitive troubleshooting.
Intelligent alerts reduce noise and fatigue.
Ability to focus on innovation, automation, and value-added tasks.

For Customers

Always-on digital services.
Faster resolution with minimal disruptions.
A seamless digital experience, improving trust and satisfaction.

Stages of AIOps

Data Collection – Gather logs, events, metrics, and performance data from diverse IT systems.
Noise Reduction – De-duplicate and filter irrelevant alerts.
Correlation & Analysis – Apply AI/ML algorithms to detect patterns and link related issues.
Prediction – Forecast failures, performance degradation, or capacity shortfalls.
Automation – Trigger self-healing workflows for faster incident response.
Continuous Learning – Refine models and improve accuracy with feedback loops.

Applying AI/ML Algorithms in AIOps

The core strength of AIOps lies in its ability to apply AI and ML models to massive IT datasets. These algorithms can:

Cluster and Correlate Events – Identify which alerts are related to the same root cause.
Detect Anomalies – Spot deviations in system behaviour that humans might miss.
Predict Failures – Use historical data to anticipate server crashes, storage bottlenecks, or network slowdowns.
Automate Decisions – Trigger automated workflows for repetitive fixes like restarting services or reallocating resources.

For Indian enterprises managing millions of transactions daily — from payment gateways to e-commerce platforms — AI/ML-driven automation is a game-changer.

AIOps Use Cases in IT Infrastructure

1. Intelligent Incident Management

AIOps consolidate multiple alerts into a single actionable insight.
Example: Instead of 300 alerts for a single server crash, IT teams receive one root-cause analysis.

2. Predictive Infrastructure Maintenance

By analyzing logs and performance data, AIOps predict hardware failures.
Example: Forecasting storage capacity shortfalls before they impact operations.

3. Capacity Planning & Resource Optimization

AIOps predicts future demand and optimizes workloads.
Example: Auto-scaling cloud resources during peak e-commerce traffic in India’s festive season.

4. Automated Remediation & Self-Healing Systems

Example: Restarting a failed service, redistributing workloads, or rerouting traffic automatically.

5. Noise Reduction in Monitoring Tools

Reduces 70–90% of irrelevant alerts.

6. Security Event Correlation

Identifies unusual traffic or patterns indicating cyberattacks.

7. Improved End-User Experience

Example: Detecting backend bottlenecks causing app slowdowns before customers notice.

AIOps vs. DevOps: Key Differences

Aspect	AIOps (AI for IT Operations)	DevOps (Development & Operations)
Focus	IT operations automation & intelligence	Software delivery & collaboration
Primary Users	IT operations, infrastructure managers	Developers & operations engineers
Core Technology	AI/ML algorithms, big data analytics	CI/CD tools, automation frameworks
Goal	Proactive monitoring, predictive insights	Faster, reliable application releases
Outcome	Optimized, resilient IT infrastructure	Agile, continuous software delivery

How AIOps and DevOps Work Together

DevOps accelerates software deployment.
AIOps ensures smooth application performance in production.
Together, they create a resilient digital ecosystem where speed meets reliability.

Example: A bank’s DevOps team pushes a new mobile app update. AIOps monitors backend infrastructure, detects unusual latency, and auto-scales resources before customers face disruptions.
