HPE's presentation at Cloud Field Day 23, led by Juden Supapo, focused on optimizing networking performance using the HPE OpsRamp software. The presentation centered around demonstrating the platform's ability to identify and automatically resolve network issues, specifically excessive traffic flooding.

The demonstration showed how OpsRamp's dashboard provides network observability, allowing users to monitor the health of critical applications and network devices. By simulating a network issue with a script that generated excessive traffic, the presenter demonstrated how OpsRamp identified the problem through its monitoring of switch interfaces and virtual machine (VM) utilization. The system then generated alerts, which, in this case, escalated to show a task that, upon approval, triggered an automation script to block the offending IP address and back up the network configuration.

Beyond the demonstration, the presentation also touched on the future roadmap for OpsRamp. The key areas of focus are new device integrations (weekly updates), more sophisticated alert correlation, and AI-driven dashboard creation. The platform utilizes AI to analyze metrics and detect anomalies. HPE is also exploring the addition of features such as the ability to recommend dashboard thresholds based on historical data analysis.
