Dynatrace announced it is collaborating with Google and Microsoft on the OpenTelemetry project to shape the future of open standards-based observability. To further advance the industry and extend the reach of its Software Intelligence Platform, Dynatrace is contributing transaction tracing knowhow and manpower to the project. OpenTelemetry is focused on providing standardized transaction-level observability through the generation, collection, and description of telemetry data for distributed cloud-native systems. As OpenTelemetry becomes more widely adopted, it will serve as an additional data source that further extends the breadth of cloud observability, including expanding the broad reach of what the Dynatrace® Software Intelligence Platform already automatically collects and ingests into Davis™, its explainable AI engine. Dynatrace is working with Microsoft, Google and others as a core contributor to OpenTelemetry, providing its technical knowhow, manpower, and code to equip the project with enterprise-grade capabilities, including: Higher-level instrumentation APIs: offering higher-fidelity tracing code to enable developers to quickly and easily build observability into their cloud-native applications and reduce the monitoring blind-spots as new methodologies and programming languages emerge. Integration of universal Trace Context: supporting the availability of transactional context across hybrid multi-clouds, ensuring organizations can more easily maintain end-to-end observability across their cloud-native ecosystems. Runtime management: helping organizations ensure the resources needed to gain observability into the individual components and software libraries underpinning their cloud-native applications are dynamically available.
Dynatrace, Inc. provides unified observability and security services. Its platform combines broad and deep observability and continuous runtime application security with Davis hypermodal artificial intelligence to provide answers and intelligent automation from data at an enormous scale. The Dynatrace platform's solutions include infrastructure observability, application observability, security protection, security analytics, digital experience, business analytics, automations and custom solutions. Its infrastructure observability solution provides complete visibility into a customer's information technology infrastructure layer across public and private clouds and hybrid, multicloud environments. Its automations solution leverages observability and security data to drive workflow automations created with a visual workflow creator or automation-as-code. It provides custom solutions that can be developed for different use cases with enterprise-grade extensibility and customizations.
