Dynatrace Expands Partnership with Microsoft

Dynatrace announced an expanded multi-year consumption commitment and go-to-market (GTM) partnership with Microsoft, with joint sales enablement and marketing, including campaigns, events, webinars, and customer solution workshops and hands-on labs.

The goal is to meet the growing demand from joint customers worldwide for the Dynatrace® platform on Microsoft Azure to accelerate cloud migration and optimization initiatives.

This announcement builds on an existing strategic partnership between Dynatrace and Microsoft, which provides customers with the following:

- The Dynatrace platform is now available as an Azure-native service in regions around the world and easily accessible to Microsoft customers through the Azure Portal.

- Customers can use their Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) to purchase the Dynatrace platform through the Azure Marketplace, simplifying purchasing and contract management.

- Dynatrace supports all Azure Services, including Azure Spring Cloud, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Linux, and Azure Functions, enabling customers to monitor their entire hybrid and multicloud environment, including all dependencies, in near real-time.

“Our platform is purpose-built for cloud environments like Azure, with its foundation rooted in AI and intelligent automation to enable the world’s largest organizations to deliver flawless and secure digital interactions,” said Rick McConnell, CEO of Dynatrace. “We are committed to expanding the value of Dynatrace on Azure to customers around the world. Through this enhanced partnership with Microsoft, we can better help our customers migrate more workloads to the cloud, optimize existing cloud deployments, and deliver consistently amazing experiences for their end users.”

“The rapid pace and scale of cloud-enabled innovation happening today presents a unique opportunity for global enterprises. By using the combined power of Microsoft Azure and the Dynatrace platform, organizations are well-positioned to accelerate their digital transformation through unified observability,” said Nicole Dezen, Chief Partner Officer and Corporate VP, Global Partner Solutions, Microsoft. “Through our partnership, customers will realize deep insights and automation across their technology stack, enhancing operational efficiencies and digital experiences. Our expanded collaboration will extend these benefits to more organizations globally with ease.”

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 ...
