OpsDataStore announced OpsDataStore 1.2, which includes key technical relationships such as Intel.
The combination of metrics, objects and integrations from VMware vSphere, AppDynamics, Dynatrace, ExtraHop, and Intel enables customers to improve the performance and reliability of their business critical online systems, and optimize capacity without risking performance brownouts.
The addition of the Intel DCM metrics specifically allows customers to safely reduce the OPEX costs of their server estate by allowing for better power consumption in the context of application performance and throughput. The combination of these metrics in OpsDataStore give customers the unprecedented ability to boost performance, increase capacity utilization and reduce OPEX costs in one platform.
“As the platform for data-driven IT operations, we are thrilled to work with vendor partners that are leaders in their respective markets. That’s why we are entering into relationships with Intel and others with OpsDataStore 1.2,” said Bernd Harzog, CEO of OpsDataStore. “As a result of our collaboration, we are giving customers the best of both worlds - a fully integrated moniitoring and capacity data platform with the ability to choose their vendor or open source feeds of data. Together, our ecosystem of partners is enabling revolutionary advances in end-to-end monitoring for clouds and DevOps, IT Operations Analytics, continuous real-time capacity analytics - with the ability of our customers to consume tthe related data in their choice of advanced BI tools like Tableau.”
Key features of OpsDataStore 1.2 include:
· Inclusion of Intel DCM power and thermal metrics in OpsDataStore 1.2: Integrated with existing utilization, performance and throughput metrics from the other partner vendors, delivering for the first time easy calculations of OPEX cost per VM and OPEX cost per transaction.
· Integration of the ExtraHop Wire Data: OpsDataStore now allows ExtraHop customers to integrate wire data for pervasively applicable performance (response time) and throughput metrics mapped into vSphere environments. This provides a breakthrough capability for performance and capacity management for private/hybrid clouds based upon vSphere.
· Automatic Time-of-Day and Day-of-Week baselines for every metric: Intelligent and automated root cause analysis leveraging deterministic topologies from the transactions through the infrastructure.
· Scalable Graph Computation: Clustered and scale-out graph computation allows OpsDataStore to compute and visualize large and complex transaction-to-infrastructure topologies on the fly. Customers can now know exactly which resources are being used by every transaction.
“Intel DCM power and thermal data allows customers to realize significant OPEX savings in the operation of their data centers, and Intel resource utilization data is the foundation of the instrumentation architecture for the private/hybrid cloud," said Jeff Klaus, GM of Data Center Solutions at Intel. “OpsDataStore combines our metrics with utilization and performance metrics, up through the rest of the stack; relating these metrics into end-to-end topologies.”
“OpsDataStore’s position that no single vendor alone can tackle the challenges associated with big data and IT operations today is well aligned with ExtraHop,” said John Leon, VP of Business Development at ExtraHop. “By integrating wire data from ExtraHop, OpsDataStore is furthering its ability to provide customers the global insight they need to take advantage of the cloud’s promise and transform IT operations in the process.”

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.
