AI: It's All About the Data: The Shift from Computer Science to Data Science – Part 2

The newest data science approach to managing and optimizing virtual infrastructures applies the AI discipline of machine learning (ML). Rather than monitoring individual components in the traditional computer science way, ML tools analyze the behavior of interrelated components. They track the normal patterns of these complex behaviors as they change over time. Machine learning-based analytics tools automatically identify the root causes of performance issues and recommend the steps needed to fix them. This shift to a data-centric, behavior-based approach has major implications that significantly empower IT professionals.
