Strategic Imperatives to Address

Transformative Megatrends:

With the rise of containers and Kubernetes, traditional monitoring tools fall short. Organizations now seek cloud-native monitoring platforms for real-time visibility and performance insights.

Geopolitical Chaos: 

Organizations are prioritizing cloud-native application monitoring as a strategic enabler for ensuring performance, uptime, and security in increasingly complex, distributed, and ephemeral environments despite investment cutbacks.

Disruptive Technologies

To harness the potential of generative AI (GenAI) at scale, organizations must adopt cloud-native application monitoring platforms that provide real-time visibility and control, ensuring performance, stability, and trust in increasingly dynamic, GenAI-driven environments

Top Growth Opportunities

1) Intersecting Cloud-native Application Monitoring Platforms (CNAMP) with Security Capabilities
Integrate native security analytics to deliver holistic monitoring with built-in anomaly detection, identity-aware risk assessment, and automated remediation capabilities.

Form strategic partnerships with cybersecurity vendors to enhance identity-based threat detection and cloud posture management, transforming monitoring tools into key sources for correlated incident response.
2) The Standardization of OpenTelemetry
Enhance data correlation and actionability by building capabilities that not only analyze OpenTelemetry data across types but also provide contextual alerts with recommended actions.

Embed Early in the Telemetry Data Lifecycle to help organizations filter, transform, and route OpenTelemetry data in real time, driving more efficient and impactful observability outcomes.
3) Code-to-cloud Traceability for Deeper Visibility
Enable code-to-cloud traceability by integrating with developer tools and continuous integration (CI)/ continuous delivery/deployment (CD) pipelines to provide end-to-end visibility from code commit to runtime behaviour.

Drive adoption through developer enablement by offering best practice guides and workshops on tagging, deployment correlation, and tracing setup across the software development lifecycle.

Explore how cloud-native monitoring platforms are reshaping observability, performance, and security in distributed environments.
