Address risks 90% faster by automating IT resilience with IBM Concert*
Get the full picture
Your application data has a story to tell. Using AI agents, IBM Concert® uncovers crucial insights about your operations and provides actionable recommendations and remediations to improve your IT resilience. With IBM Concert you can:
IBM's pillars of resilience excellence
Powered by agentic AI, IBM Concert automates best practices across resilience pillars, surfacing issues and delivering actionable recommendations. It transforms IT resilience strategy into measurable progress through a comprehensive resilience framework.
Availability
Concert helps strengthen your resilience posture by ensuring each application or service has a clearly documented service level agreement (SLA) within its service description. The SLA should define availability and specify how it is measured, using precise and unambiguous terminology.
Security
The Concert security pillar protects your systems and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction caused by malicious attacks, data breaches and other threats. It evaluates the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data across your applications.
Recoverability
Concert strengthens your resilience posture by guiding you to define clear recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs), automating rollback procedures and regularly validating recovery plans against potential disruptions.
Scalability
Concert helps you define clear scalability requirements to ensure that systems adapt seamlessly to changing demands while maintaining both performance and cost efficiency. The scalability pillar establishes measurable targets for throughput, resource allocation speed and horizontal scaling to preserve user experience during peak loads.
Observability
Concert strengthens your resilience posture by enabling robust monitoring practices, defining clear service level objectives (SLOs) and integrating observability tools to surface critical metrics.
Maintainability
The Concert maintainability pillar strengthens resilience by promoting practices such as automated deployments, canary releases and rigorous incident retrospectives. It focuses on reducing operational friction, ensuring compliance with service level agreements (SLAs) and enabling rapid recovery from deployment-related issues.

How to automate IT resilience with Concert
Concert consolidates and correlates siloed data from your applications and tools—it contextualizes this information to build an application-centric view of your resilience health.
Concert then maps your data to key resilience pillars—availability, security, recoverability, observability, scalability and maintainability—to generate a posture score that provides a real-time view of your current IT resilience.
Based on your posture score, Concert leverages agentic AI to deliver actionable recommendations and remediation plans that strengthen your IT resilience.
Concert automates the recommendations and remediation plans that it provided with Concert workflows.
Proven results
Solutions to extend observability
Simplify application observability and risk management
Concert + Instana integration streamlines CVE remediation through automated patching and runtime environment visibility—a critical capability for SREs and app owners. This ensures updates are consistently applied across all affected systems.
The integration also enhances resilience posture assessment by automating the collection of resilience data across a broad range of non-functional requirements (NFRs).
Simplify power infrastructure updates
Keeping IBM Power systems secure and up to date is often manual, slow and error-prone. IBM Concert for Power automates the entire patch and update lifecycle—reducing downtime, minimizing risk and boosting IT productivity.
Concert identifies vulnerabilities (CVEs) within the Power infrastructure, assesses them based on the current Power version and uses AI to prioritize and suggest mitigation steps. It enables users to automate actions, like triggering P11 updates with zero planned downtime, through low-code workflows, ensuring faster and safer updates across the infrastructure.
Unify siloed operational data across tools and domains
IBM Concert for Z is an AI-powered IT operations management hub purpose-built to simplify and modernize mainframe resilience. Concert for Z delivers intelligent insights and automation that help teams act faster, reduce complexity and maintain availability. It empowers operations teams to proactively manage performance, anticipate risks and ensure continuous resilience—bringing AI-powered efficiency to mainframe environments.
