New Relic announced the general availability of the Azure Native New Relic Service in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, to help enterprises accelerate their cloud migration and multi-cloud initiatives.
Microsoft Azure customers can now subscribe to the New Relic service to collect telemetry data for applications and infrastructure and store that telemetry data in Azure. In addition, Azure customers can allocate their multi-year committed Azure spend to leverage New Relic, making it significantly easier for customers to allocate budget for all-in-one observability. This release builds on more than a decade of innovation between New Relic and Microsoft to give developers the tools they need to build better software.
Azure customers can accelerate their cloud journey with New Relic's all-in-one observability platform directly in Azure. DevOps teams can store their telemetry data in Azure, get started fast with Azure integrations and agents, all in a single pane of glass for monitoring all their workloads to debug, measure, and improve their entire stack.
“Observability is essential in today's modern, multi-cloud world. Whether our customers are running applications on data centers, embracing the public cloud, or running things at the edge, they need observability to take a look across all those systems,” said New Relic CEO Bill Staples.
“Microsoft and New Relic share a strong commitment to providing world-class developer tools that help make developers and our customers successful. This partnership unlocks greater productivity for all engineers with seamless integration between Azure and New Relic’s all-in-one Observability platform,” said Scott Guthrie, Executive VP, Cloud + AI, Microsoft. “Engineers and business leaders alike will benefit from this unique and powerful experience as they embrace New Relic’s data-driven approach to engineering.”
New Relic helps customers accelerate their cloud adoption and multi-cloud journeys by providing a comprehensive view of the entire application stack, including the underlying cloud infrastructure, application code, and user experience, allowing customers to quickly identify and troubleshoot performance issues, optimize multi-cloud resources, and ensure that their applications are running smoothly.
Integration highlights include:
- Store Telemetry in Azure: Subscribed customers will store their telemetry data on Azure to help align with their digital transformation and multi-cloud strategy.
- Native Azure Marketplace Integration: New Relic has collaborated with Microsoft on the engineering effort to deliver natively integrated New Relic observability solutions through the Azure Marketplace.
- Retire Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC): Azure customers can retire their MACC by purchasing New Relic from the Azure Marketplace, which simplifies purchasing and contract management.
- Rapid Onboarding: The Azure Native New Relic Service offers rapid onboarding, incorporating an Azure-specific integration and agent installations from the Azure Portal to help customers monitor and optimize the performance of their Azure-hosted applications and infrastructure. The integration enables Azure customers to send consolidated Azure Platform Logs and Azure Monitor metrics directly to New Relic.
