Dynatrace (formerly Compuware APM) unveiled a new partnership with VMware announcing that Dynatrace has achieved VMware Ready- vCloud Air status. Dynatrace enables organizations to seamlessly move existing and new applications to the cloud by delivering the visibility and control across the entire application delivery chain needed to solve issues and optimize performance for end-users.
Dynatrace is a member of the access tier of the vCloud Air ISV program, and is the first modern APM solution available on the VMware Solution Exchange for vCloud Air users.
“We are pleased Dynatrace has joined the vCloud Air ISV Program and has achieved VMware Ready- vCloud Air certification. Dynatrace works seamlessly within VMware vCloud Air, and can be deployed in production with confidence,” said Sanjay Katyal, Vice President, Global Alliances & OEMs, VMware. “This is significant for our customers because it brings two trusted companies together – the market leader in virtual environments and the market leader in APM – to help organizations accelerate transitions to the cloud.”
VMware’s vCloud Air platform is designed to make the shift to the cloud as simple as possible, delivering a high degree of homogeneity between on-premise and cloud architecture, allowing for easy migration of applications between the two environments.
Dynatrace makes this even easier by addressing and solving numerous IT challenges. Highlights include:
- A complete view of all transactions across the entire application delivery chain, from end-users across all application tiers to the database and back.
- Identification and resolution of problems caused by third-party services.
- Ability to scale smartly. Dynatrace enables IT to understand capacity needs with metrics like transaction-load or user-load patterns.
“Using Dynatrace on vCloud Air, enterprises gain end-to-end transaction visibility across the entire application delivery chain, with auto-discovery and performance baselines, to identify bottlenecks and performance hot spots wherever they occur,” said Steve Tack, Vice President of Product Management at Dynatrace. “This delivers an immediate ROI and enables organizations to deploy their apps faster, accelerate performance, and determine the root cause of issues in minutes, not days or weeks, to improve bottom line business results.”
The VMware Ready program is a co-branding benefit of the Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program that makes it easy for customers to identify partner products certified to work with VMware cloud infrastructure. Customers can use these products and solutions to lower project risks and realize cost savings over custom built solutions. With thousands of members worldwide, the VMware TAP program includes best-of-breed technology partners with the shared commitment to bring the best expertise and business solution for each unique customer need.
Dynatrace can be found within the online VMware Solution Exchange (VSX).

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
