IBM Concert platform

Edit online

IBM Concert is an agentic IT Ops platform that creates a unified operational layer across your hybrid environment. You can connect signals, generate shared context, and coordinate action across teams and tools.

How Concert platform works

Concert platform operates through three core mechanisms:

Unified data model: Concert platform continuously collects signals from applications, infrastructure, and security tools into a data access layer. This model captures signals and the relationships between systems, creating a connected view of your environment. You can query across domains, understand system-wide impact, and act with complete context rather than assembling information from separate tools.
Cross-domain intelligence: Concert platform correlates data across observability, optimization, security, and operations to surface what matters most. When an incident occurs, Concert platform connects application performance data with infrastructure metrics and vulnerability information to identify root causes and business impact.
Coordinated action: Concert platform orchestrates workflows that move from insight to action across your existing tools and teams. The Concert assistant coordinates investigation, decision-making, and execution. You review and approve actions through Concert platform, maintaining transparency and auditability.

What you can do with Concert platform

You can use Concert platform to accomplish operational goals across the IT lifecycle:

Detect and resolve incidents faster: Concert platform correlates signals across logs, metrics, events, and alerts to identify root causes and recommend actions. The Concert assistant explains what happened and why, then coordinates resolution through your existing development workflows. Concert Observe provides visibility across applications and infrastructure.
Optimize resource use and cost: Concert platform connects application demand to infrastructure usage, showing what drives costs and where constraints might arise. Concert Optimize aligns resources to immediate demand, managing performance and cost across hybrid cloud. For AI workloads, Concert Optimize adjusts GPU allocation based on service-level objectives.
Manage risk and vulnerabilities: Concert platform continuously identifies operational exposures across code, runtime, infrastructure, and dependencies. Concert Protect prioritizes vulnerabilities based on business impact and generates remediations to fix vulnerable code or patch operating systems, middleware, packages, and images. You can address compliance gaps and certificate expirations before they affect operations.
Meet SLOs and maintain continuity: Concert platform measures resilience across services and dependencies. Concert Resilience unifies telemetry across domains to show your resilience posture and provide guided remediation.

Concert platform capabilities

Concert platform brings together modular capabilities that work individually and together:

Concert Observe: Full-stack observability across applications, infrastructure, and AI workloads. Concert Observe connects telemetry into a shared context. Powered by Instana.
Concert Optimize: Resource optimization that aligns infrastructure to application demand. Concert Optimize analyzes applications, infrastructure, and cloud signals to manage performance and cost, including GPU optimization for AI workloads. Powered by Turbonomic.
Concert Protect: Vulnerability and risk management that identifies and prioritizes operational exposures. Concert Protect evaluates risk across code, runtime, and dependencies, with automated remediation workflows.
Concert Resilience: Continuous resilience measurement and guided remediation across your environment. Concert Resilience maps signals from applications, infrastructure, and security tools to six resilience pillars to produce a posture score and prioritized recommendations.

These capabilities come together in Concert home, the operational control plane where you build custom views and orchestrate workflows through conversations with the Concert assistant.

Availability

Concert platform is available for self-hosted deployments. SaaS support is targeted for a future release.
