VMware Cloud™ on AWS

IT leaders are often rushed into the cloud when facing compelling trigger events or critical business needs. However, rapid migration can pose unnecessary and avoidable risks that affect end user experience and hamper your long-term transformation. Ensono’s Managed VMware Cloud on AWS solution helps you migrate quickly with the lowest risk and then transform inside the AWS Cloud.

From Mainframe to AWS

With a proven approach and decades of mainframe experience, we can quickly and easily move your mission-critical applications and databases from mainframe to AWS. We are only one out of six providers in the world with the coveted AWS mainframe modernization competency.

AWS Managed Relational Database (RDS) Service

As companies modernize their IT environments, they are embracing the cloud by replacing their on-premises databases and migrating them to the cloud using Amazon’s Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). Using Amazon RDS, Ensono can migrate and modernize legacy databases to the cloud quickly and securely, giving you the performance, scalability, and availability needed to support your most critical applications.

Ensono and Amazon RDS provides you with six familiar database engines to choose from, including MySQL, Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database and SQL Server.

Predictive monitoring

In traditional monitoring, events and automated alerts are generated when thresholds are breached. However, by the time alerts are generated and responded to, the possibility that the breaches have become real problems is high. Ideally monitoring should be able to assess which potential issues are likely to become real problems, and alerts generated with enough lead time to act.

Ensono uses predictive monitoring – employing machine learning, forecasting and predictive modelling to identify potential issues within your public cloud infrastructure early, enabling us to respond quickly and reduce downtime.

Predictive monitoring is based on learning historical trends in monitoring data and applying machine learning models to forecast where a metric is headed in future. We can visualize expected trends and specify how far in advance to get alerted about potential issues.

A simple example of where predictive monitoring is useful is disk usage. We can set up predictive monitoring and forecast alert to automatically get notified a certain amount of time before a server runs out of disk space.

Please Note:
Ensono’s predictive and anomaly detection capabilities leverage Datadog functionality. Datadog enterprise is our standard monitoring tool for AWS and Azure.

Anomaly Detection Monitoring

Some of the most valuable metrics to monitor are also the most variable depending on seasons, month, day of the week, time of the day, extraordinary events etc. These fluctuations can make it exceedingly difficult to set sensible thresholds for alerting or investigation.

Anomaly detection can identify when a metric is behaving differently than it has in the past, considering trends, seasonal, and time patterns. It is well-suited for metrics with strong trends and recurring patterns that are hard to monitor with threshold-based alerting.

Anomaly detection is based on analyzing a metric’s historical behavior and applying machine learning models, to distinguish between normal and abnormal metric trends. This can also help in reducing false positives based on linear thresholds.

A simple example where anomaly detection is useful is load monitoring. For example, for a server used for a business application, the load will peak during the business hours, drops at night and potentially a prolonged lull on the weekends and over the holiday periods.
