Paessler announced a new partnership with MachineShop, a computing, OT device and data management company, to deliver a comprehensive visibility and management solution for both IT and operational technology.
Both Paessler and MachineShop have built software that enables businesses to collect, analyze and act on data from networks and devices that are critical to their organizations. Through PRTG Network Monitor, Paessler gives IT admins the ability to monitor traditional computing and IT assets such as networks, routers, switches, servers and virtual machines, while MachineShop gives its users the ability to track operational assets including industrial equipment, medical devices, connected vehicles, physical security systems, HVAC systems and more.
With this partnership, users can deploy both in parallel and enjoy seamless integration and coordinated support, giving them the ability to see, understand and respond to critical events throughout the entire organization. The joint offering delivers deep visibility into IT and OT, including an easy to use dashboard, scalability and API integrations with leading cloud-based software.
"Paessler has always been dedicated to giving IT admins the tool they need to fully monitor their entire IT infrastructure," said Jürgen Thiel, Alliance Manager, Paessler. "Through our integration and partnership with MachineShop, we are now able to expand our offering to cover the entire organization, from top to bottom."
"CIOs and IT admins will increasingly have responsibility for non-IT assets," said Michael Campbell, CEO, MachineShop. "Our relationship and integration with a market-leader such as Paessler allows customers and partners to dramatically expand an already powerful technology management platform."
"The partnership between Paessler and MachineShop gives us a powerful offering to our customers," said Ralf Beck, Head of Software Product Management at German system house Bechtle, a partner of Paessler already for several years. "Visibility and insight are key to maintaining uptime and productivity in today's world, and the ability to identify and fix issues in the IT and OT environment before they become serious problems is critical."

Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans.

For years, production operations teams have treated alert fatigue as a quality-of-life problem: something that makes on-call rotations miserable but isn't considered a direct contributor to outages. That framing doesn't capture how these systems fail, and we now have data to show why. More importantly, it's now clear alert fatigue is a symptom of a deeper issue: production systems have outgrown the current operational approaches ...
I was on a customer call last fall when an enterprise architect said something I haven't been able to shake. Her team had just spent four months trying to swap one AI vendor for another. The original plan said three weeks. "We didn't switch vendors," she told me. "We rebuilt half our integrations and discovered what we'd actually been depending on." Most enterprise leaders don't expect that to be the experience ...
Ask any senior SRE or platform engineer what keeps them up at night, and the answer probably isn't the monitoring tool — it's the data feeding it. The proliferation of APM, observability, and AIOps platforms has created a telemetry sprawl problem that most teams manage reactively rather than architect proactively. Metrics are going to one platform. Traces routed somewhere else. Logs duplicated across multiple backends because nobody wants to be caught without them when something breaks. Every redundant stream costs money ...
