AIOps Architecture in Data Center Site Infrastructure Monitoring

Abstract

AIOps (artificial intelligence for IT operations) has been growing rapidly in recent years. However, it can be seen that the vast majority of AIOps applications are implemented in the IT domain. In contrast, there are few applications in the data center infrastructure domain. Many real-world practices show that a working architecture or algorithm cannot be directly replicated from other domains due to completely different business scenarios and different data characteristics. In this paper, an AIOps architecture for the data center infrastructure monitoring domain is presented. A proven working architecture is given in terms of core modules, such as technical architecture, machine learning algorithms, big data, and business applications, and details are designed in practice. This paper focuses on the technical part and not on each part of the architecture work. In other words, NFRs (nonfunctional requirements), such as performance, availability, manageability, and security, will not be discussed in this paper.
