[OpsComm August] Delivering New Innovations with the August 2019 Release and Controlling the Chaos at Gartner Catalyst

The August 2019 release introduced several platform updates for enhanced service-centricity with improved topology maps, machine learning transparency for intelligent event management, real-time visibility for public cloud monitoring, and deeper integrations.

August also saw our resident experts making several contributions across different media outlets and events. Here’s a quick snapshot of the news milestones that made the month of August:
