Elastic has signed a new distribution agreement with Arrow Electronics to deliver Elastic’s Search AI powered Security, Observability and Search solutions to the U.S. and Canada channel.
The relationship also reinforces Elastic’s commitment to helping organizations accelerate their migration away from legacy vendors.
The availability of Elastic’s solutions through ArrowSphere simplifies the process for channel partners to work with Elastic, dramatically reducing the time and effort Arrow’s partners require to quote, purchase, and fulfill. Whether self-managed or delivered through hyperscaler marketplaces, ArrowSphere streamlines the entire process, making it easier for partners and customers to manage their Elastic deployments.
“We are pleased to welcome Elastic to our growing roster of leading independent software vendors,” said Matt Brennan, vice president of North America supplier alliances at Arrow . “With the evolution of AI, increased data complexity, and a sharper focus on performance and continuity, Elastic’s modern Search AI solutions can help our channel partners address their customers’ evolving technology needs.”
As a global distributor of leading technologies and services, Arrow will enable an extensive channel ecosystem to sell solutions from Elastic. In particular, Arrow's extensive network of security partners and its solutions lab can help its customers modernize their security operations with Elastic’s AI-driven security analytics .
Elastic recently launched its Express Migration program to provide an accelerated path for organizations to migrate away from legacy SIEM vendors and adopt its AI-driven security analytics solution quickly and efficiently. Elastic is also streamlining SIEM replacement with AI. For example, Automatic Import automates the development of custom data integrations. Elastic AI Assistant lowers the learning curve for practitioner workflows and automates the conversion and creation of detection rules and investigation queries.
“We look forward to working with one of the largest global distributors and expanding our footprint across North America, particularly in the security space,” said Alyssa Fitzpatrick, global vice president, Partner Sales, Elastic. “The combination of Elastic’s solutions with the ArrowSphere platform promises a transformative experience for our partners and customers.”

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 ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
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.
