Ipswitch announced a new partnership with Ingram Micro to enable distribution of Ipswitch IT management software.
The new partnership will enable enterprises and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to realize powerful, flexible and secure solutions in their organizations. The partnership between Ipswitch and Ingram Micro will involve distribution of Ipswitch products and solutions, including unified applications, network monitoring software and information security and managed file transfer solutions. Through this agreement, Ingram Micro will distribute Ipswitch products and solutions across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.
“The collaboration comes at a time of exponential growth in the network management software market, driven by ever-growing demand among IT leaders for monitoring and management of core network infrastructure. We are investing in our channel strategy and expanding our presence in the Asia Pacific region to equip IT teams with powerful and flexible solutions that will help them solve the challenges of increasing IT infrastructure complexity. We believe Ingram Micro’s strong presence and excellent reputation makes them an ideal partner in SEA to deliver our solutions to enterprises and SMBs,” said Alessandro Porro, SVP, International Sales APAC, Ipswitch.
Through this partnership, customers will have greater access to the recently released Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 2017, a unified infrastructure and application monitoring software. WhatsUp Gold 2017 gives modern IT teams the ability to monitor their entire environment with a single cost-effective software product, and to flexibly adapt their monitoring approach based on changing business priorities without the need to evaluate and purchase new licenses. With WhatsUp Gold 2017, teams can assure bandwidth is optimized for critical apps and services while also easily automating configuration and inventory management, log monitoring and compliance audits.
The partnership also offers Southeast Asia customers a wider selection of secure transfer solutions. These include Ipswitch MOVEit, Managed File Transfer (MFT) software that provides the control, security and automation features needed to assure reliable data exchange between users, systems and partners and compliance with SLA, governance, and regulatory mandates; and WS_FTP Server/Professional that ensures the easiest way to securely store, share and transfer information between systems, applications, groups and individuals. Ipswitch MOVEit has recently won the Secure File Transfer Solution category of the NetworkWorld Asia Information Management Awards 2016.
Ingram Micro works with thousands of vendors, resellers and retail partners, customizing and delivering technology solutions to businesses of all sizes around the world. The company focuses on cloud, mobility, supply chain and technology solutions that enable businesses to operate more efficiently and successfully in the markets they serve. Through collaboration with Ipswitch, Ingram Micro will further expand its current networking portfolio and compliment their range of networking, compute and storage products.

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.
