ManageEngine is opening two ISO/IEC-27001-certified data centre facilities in London and Manchester. These will be its first data centres in the UK. This announcement brings the total number of data centre sites to 16 for ManageEngine globally and represents a USD 1 million investment. The two new data centres will support UK customers who have a growing need for data sovereignty and data residency. The data centres will offer enhanced data security and will carry all the necessary SOC, ISO and PCI DSS certifications, ensuring that data is stored securely and in compliance with local regulations and industry-specific standards. The new sites will be hosted by Equinix, which was selected by ManageEngine for its state-of-the-art, global, secure, sustainable data centre platform that is renowned for its expansive reach. The data centres will host a few prominent ManageEngine products, including ServiceDesk Plus Cloud (for IT and enterprise service management) and Endpoint Central Cloud (for unified endpoint management and security). The long-term plan is to offer ManageEngine's entire portfolio from the UK data centres. Rajesh Ganesan, president of ManageEngine, said, "Cloud adoption has been rapid in the UK, far outstripping other markets. We have seen 70% growth in cloud adoption YOY since 2018, versus 50% globally. Post-Brexit, we also saw increased demand from customers for data centres to be located in the UK to ensure data sovereignty and comply with local regulations." The UK market is the second-largest for ManageEngine, representing 25% of its global turnover. There has been an acceleration in cloud adoption amongst UK customers, which in turn has created more demand for local data storage. This announcement will help IT teams move operations to the cloud seamlessly while adhering to the data privacy and security standards of the UK. ManageEngine is also establishing one of the two UK data centres as a disaster recovery site. Arun Kumar J., regional director of UK at ManageEngine, said, "Organisations are leveraging hybrid cloud computing and edge computing more and more to use the cloud optimally. The new centres will benefit customers by helping them meet complex data security demands; our cloud security efforts for these centres will focus on compliance, privacy, data leak prevention and endpoint security. Intelligence at the edge — extended to every endpoint — is essential to securing endpoints against modern attacks." ManageEngine's new data centres will be fully secured, employing security processes like full-disk encryption to protect data and prevent unauthorised access at the hardware level. Additional controls, like anti-DDoS strategies, will also mitigate cyberattacks.

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 ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
