Centreon and iBO Solutions announced their partnership.
iBO Solutions specializes in ITSM and IT monitoring solutions and builds long-term relationships with clients. The company selected Centreon’s IT monitoring solutions and complementary expertise based on their conviction that people managing IT need a global picture to serve today’s digital business. They also need high reliability and flexibility as they scale across a diversity of environments, manage change, and secure their operations.
In providing solutions, iBO selects the tools that make clients reach the best outcomes in the areas of IT monitoring, APM, security (SIM or SIEM), event management, ticketing, and automation.
“For IT monitoring, the Centreon platform matches our clients’ highest standards,” said Radu Odobescu, Managing Director, iBO Solutions.
iBO Solutions supports businesses in key industries in Luxembourg and Belgium, including banking.
“Our clients typically have a high degree of digital maturity. They need an IT monitoring solution that spans a diversity of technological environments and provides the business view,” added Radu Odobescu. “During the transition to cloud, a robust IT monitoring solution will provide more control and help mitigate risk.”
iBO Solutions works with clients over the very long term, covering the full solution lifecycle, from consulting to implementing and maintenance.
iBO Solutions believes it is important to feature strong European brands in their solutions portfolio. “Centreon provides an excellent European alternative for IT monitoring—which can be a requirement for some of our clients,” mentioned Radu Odobescu. “Other businesses iBO Solutions works with already trust Centreon for IT monitoring and want to scale or extend the solution to other business divisions or areas.”
“Many organizations are maturing and want their IT monitoring to go beyond the technical view. They look at the whole application chain, aggregating technical data into something more meaningful, the business view, which can be understood by non-tech profiles,” explained Radu Odobescu. Mature organizations also provide their technical teams and help desk with reliable information at their fingertips which they can visualize and zoom at will. “This aligns with best ITIL practices – IT monitoring raises an organization’s awareness of their technological environment, providing insights on how to make things work even better—and that’s the crux of investing in a good IT monitoring solution.”
iBO Solutions considers IT monitoring to be complementary to security. Monitoring everything that comes with IT security, i.e., firewalls, processes, certificates, etc., promotes proactivity when issues arise. “A good IT monitoring tool becomes a security tool because it gives you visibility,” said Radu Odobescu.
Odobescu also mentions the value of the Centreon solution in managing issues relating to change, when there are mergers or acquisitions, or when new sites are added, or new applications deployed.
“You need a user-friendly interface. Configuration needs to be simple, and you also need to support different people using the same IT monitoring platform, which means implementing common ways of working across teams—these are all things Centreon is good at,” concluded Radu Odobescu.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
