GITEX 2024: The Future of IT Lies in Observability – SolarWinds’ Sasha Giese Explains Why

At GITEX 2024, Sasha Giese, Technical Evangelist at SolarWinds, took center stage to explain why observability is becoming critical for IT infrastructures as they grow increasingly complex. As businesses face rising demands for flawless digital experiences, observability has emerged as the key to optimizing performance and preventing costly downtime.

Giese highlighted that as IT ecosystems expand—combining cloud services, on-premises systems, and hybrid models—observability tools allow organizations to monitor the entire infrastructure in real-time. By gaining comprehensive visibility into system health, performance metrics, and data flows, businesses can proactively address issues before they impact operations.

“With observability, you can see everything, understand everything, and act on everything in your IT environment,” Giese explained. He emphasized that implementing observability solutions helps companies gain insights into their digital infrastructure’s behavior, enabling better decision-making and optimized performance.

As digital transformation accelerates across industries, Giese underscored that adopting observability is not just a technical upgrade—it is a strategic necessity for businesses looking to stay competitive.
