Equinix and ScienceLogic announced a collaboration to simplify and ease enterprise migration to the cloud. As part of this agreement, ScienceLogic has deployed its monitoring services globally within Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers. By offering ScienceLogic’s solution together with the Equinix Cloud Exchange, enterprise customers not only have their choice of cloud providers, but they also gain security, visibility and control over how they migrate and manage enterprise applications and workloads in the public cloud.
Enterprise customers who are able to quickly migrate workloads to the cloud achieve agility, self-service and cost reduction benefits much earlier. Many companies struggle, however, with concerns around which workloads to migrate and the potential loss of management visibility. ScienceLogic addresses this issue for Cloud Exchange customers, with advanced discovery tools for existing on-premises workloads, enabling them to be sized and assessed as candidates for cloud migration. The solution supports Equinix’s Cloud Exchange solution by validating the improved experience for customers through a single pane of glass that gives visibility into the entire IT infrastructure — whether on-premises or in the cloud.
Highlights & Key Facts:
- By gaining access to multiple cloud providers via the Equinix Cloud Exchange and leveraging ScienceLogic’s integrated monitoring solution, enterprises can achieve improved performance, security, management and cost-control of their entire IT infrastructure, regardless of where it resides.
- The combined solution enables Equinix’s managed service provider (MSP) partners to better capitalize on the public cloud opportunity. MSPs who currently offer Equinix services can now offer new services to assist in the initial migration and ongoing management. This helps their enterprise customers move to the cloud sooner, without incurring undue risk, and helps them manage hybrid IT infrastructures on a continuing basis, post-migration.
- The ScienceLogic solution will be available on Equinix Cloud Exchange in the Washington, D.C., market with future expansion planned to additional markets, worldwide, including Asia Pacific in 2015.
- ScienceLogic recently expanded its European presence by deploying in Equinix’s Frankfurt, Germany IBX, enabling enterprises to connect to providers such as AWS, T-Systems, and others in the Equinix cloud ecosystem.
Chris Sharp, VP of Cloud Innovation, Equinix: “Our goal at Equinix is to help enterprise customers realize the full benefits of the cloud – without worrying about application latency or cost issues. ScienceLogic’s service provides Equinix enterprise customers with another valuable tool to facilitate their migration to the cloud. Combined with our Cloud Exchange solution, with its direct access to multiple cloud and network service providers, enterprise customers now have one location where they can connect to all of the services, providers and solutions for their cloud and IT needs.”
Dave Link, CEO, ScienceLogic: “The hybrid cloud market is estimated at over $20 billion and growing, as Fortune 5000 organizations and large MSPs migrate and take advantage of the cost savings and efficiencies of the public cloud. We are partnering with Equinix to help accelerate cloud migration among enterprise customers and to support the Equinix MSP community as they assist in that migration.”

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 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.
