Dynatrace announces enhanced
AI-powered observability for
Microsoft Azure
Software intelligence company,
Dynatrace, has announced the
extension of its Software Intelligence
Platform to automatically ingest metrics
from all services supported by Microsoft
Azure Monitor, Microsoft’s solution for
collecting telemetry data from Azure
environments. Combining these metrics
with the data already captured by the
Dynatrace platform provides customers
with even more precise insights into their
Azure and multi-cloud environments, driving
faster cloud adoption and more effective
Digital Transformation.
With this extension, Dynatrace will ingest
metrics from the complete set of over
80 Azure Monitor services that span
application and microservices workloads,
as well as infrastructure-related services.
This means metrics from services such as
Azure HDInsight for Apache Hadoop, Spark
and Kafka, Azure Container Instances for
easy container deployment and Azure
Kubernetes Service are now automatically
combined with the distributed tracing, log,
user experience and other observability
data already processed by the Dynatrace
platform. With this richer data set from
Azure, Dynatrace’s Smartcape, which
continuously maps a customer’s full-stack
topology, and the Dynatrace AI engine,
Davis, can instantly identify and prioritise
a broader set of issues and anomalies in
Azure environments and provide even more
precise answers, saving organisations time,
money and resources.
“Dynatrace is purpose-built for cloud
environments such as Microsoft Azure, with
automation and intelligence at the core,”
said Steve Tack, SVP Product Management,
Dynatrace. “While we have always
provided distributed tracing and code-level
insights for applications running on Azure,
extending our platform to ingest all metrics
from all Azure Monitor services enables
Dynatrace and Azure customers to migrate
more services to the cloud and transform
even faster, with greater confidence and
less risk.”
“The need for faster Digital Transformation
is driving organisations to increase their
investment in cloud-native development
using Microsoft Azure,” said Casey McGee,
Vice President, Global ISV Sales, Microsoft.
“We are pleased that Dynatrace is extending
its AI-powered Software Intelligence
Platform to ingest metrics from all Azure
Monitor services, enabling better automation
and intelligence, both of which are critical for
customers as they transform.” •
