HPE's presentation at Cloud Field Day 23, delivered by Juden Supapo, focused on minimizing application downtime using HPE OpsRamp. The demonstration began by displaying a dashboard that monitored a mission-critical ERP application. The speaker highlighted key performance indicators and the overall health of the application. He then presented a service map, a visual representation of the infrastructure supporting the application, including database nodes, servers, and network devices. The service map enables administrators to quickly identify issues by visualizing the relationships between various infrastructure components.

The presentation then illustrated how OpsRamp handles infrastructure issues. By simulating a database outage, the speaker demonstrated how the dashboard and service map responded in real-time. Alerts were triggered, and the service map indicated the location of the problem. He emphasized the alert correlation feature, which uses machine learning to group related alerts, identify probable root causes, and streamline troubleshooting. This grouping allows administrators to address the primary issue instead of dealing with numerous cascading alerts, thus saving time and improving operational efficiency.

Finally, the presentation concluded by showcasing automation and governance within OpsRamp. When the simulated outage occurred, the system automatically generated a task, including an email notification. Through a low-code, no-code process automation workflow, the speaker demonstrated how the system could trigger a script to attempt to restart the affected service. This showcased the platform's capability to combine automated remediation with governance through approval processes. This combination of features minimizes downtime.
