New Relic announced an expanded offering for its qualifying nonprofit program customers, with significant discounts on all products in the New Relic Software Analytics Cloud.
“At New Relic, we believe that the greatest organizations set out to make an impact on the world,” said Lew Cirne, CEO and founder, New Relic. “I am so impressed by the way nonprofits around the globe are accelerating their efforts by leveraging software. New Relic wants to further amplify this impact through software analytics.”
The New Relic nonprofit program is aimed at increasing accessibility to the company’s products for qualifying nonprofits, and allowing these organizations to focus their time and attention on their core causes. Since launching the program in January 2015, the company has enabled qualifying 501(c)3 organizations to use New Relic’s Application Performance Monitoring (APM) product to monitor their software’s performance. In addition to APM, starting on January 1, 2016, qualifying nonprofit customers will be able to enjoy significant discounts on all New Relic products, including Browser, Insights, Mobile and Synthetics.
“We see New Relic’s cloud-based approach to software analytics as cost-efficient and easy-to-use and one that aligns with the structure and needs of so many nonprofits. With the New Relic nonprofit program, we set out to lower the barrier to entry for nonprofits to understand their software’s performance and business insights, and therefore strengthen their focus on making the world a better place,” said Yvonne Wassenaar, CIO, New Relic.
New Relic’s existing nonprofit program customers include Amara, Drupal Association, Great Nonprofits, House of Dreams, Kiva, Teaching Channel and more.
“At Kiva, New Relic has helped us improve performance and stability, whether it’s for long-running queries, servers that are getting hit too often, or a particular part of an application that isn’t handling increases in user volume,” said Kevin O’Brien, Chief Technology Officer, Kiva. “Stronger website performance means more connections made between lenders and borrowers to help alleviate poverty.”
“Teaching Channel depends on the health and performance of our website for delivering information to approximately one million teachers per month,” said Casey Koon, Director of Product, Teaching Channel. “It has been amazing to see how much useful data New Relic offers for driving every single aspect of our site.”
Qualified 501(c)3 organizations are eligible to receive up to five free hosts of APM Pro (plus a significant discount on additional hosts in accordance with program terms), as well as a significant discount across products in the New Relic Software Analytics Cloud, including Browser, Insights, Mobile and Synthetics.

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.
