Paessler AG unveiled the Uptime Alliance, a new technology partner program designed to help the company’s partners include network monitoring functionality in their offerings to help clients prevent the downtime of critical IT systems.
Paessler’s PRTG Network Monitor is a powerful, affordable and easy-to-use unified monitoring solution relied on by more than 200,000 system administrators worldwide.
With PRTG, system administrators can monitor the health and performance of their entire infrastructure, including networks, systems, hardware, applications and devices - all in real time. The Uptime Alliance builds on PRTG’s capabilities and fosters collaboration with technology partners to provide integrated and combined solutions that ensure the maximum uptime of IT infrastructure and the business processes and functions they make possible.
“The ramifications can be severe when important systems go down, which is why IT teams and system administrators must know at all times what is occurring across their infrastructure and be alerted immediately when problems arise. By offering our partners seamless integration with PRTG and creating purpose-built sensors for their solutions, we provide our shared customers with unprecedented peace of mind,” said Christian Twardawa, CEO of Paessler.
With intuitive and highly-customizable dashboards and more than 200 pre-configured sensors, PRTG monitors everything from the overall health of the network infrastructure to granular details like the performance and temperature of individual devices and the revolutions-per-minute of the fans within them.
Custom sensors are also easily created and integrated with PRTG and enable IT leaders to embrace pivotal computing trends like the internet of things with confidence. PRTG sends alerts to administrators when any pre-determined performance thresholds of their choosing are met or when any problems arise that impact the overall health of the network - all in the form they prefer, including email, SMS, etc.
Paessler already offers sensors designed specifically for turn-key performance with some of the best-known and most respected IT brands and is a member of the Cisco Solution Partner Program, the HPE Technology Partner Program, the NetApp Alliance Partner Program and VMware’s Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. The Uptime Alliance builds on the spirit of those efforts, creates new use cases for PRTG and provides partners with a framework they can use to easily integrate their own products with PRTG.
Charter members of the Uptime Alliance include:
- AppSphere: With ScriptRunner from AppSphere, Paessler integrates a powerful event automation platform into PRTG Network Monitor.
- Check Point: PRTG monitors Check Point telemetry in its overall view of a company’s corporate infrastructure, providing a holistic view on the security posture of the corporate network.
- Kentix: Kentix MultiSensor technology and Paessler’s PRTG provide the ideal solution to monitor all major physical hazards in IT rooms and racks, including critical climate factors, fire and burglary.
- MachineShop: The integration of Paessler’s IT monitoring platform with MachineShop Edge provides enterprises with a simple and unified view of enterprise technology – both IT and OT.
- NetBrain: With NetBrain, a Dynamic Network Map serves as the foundation for network automation. Every task is run through the map, leveraging Executable Runbooks and integrating NetBrain with PRTG Network Monitor.
- Plixer: Paessler and Plixer provide a complete solution adding flow and metadata analysis to a powerful network monitoring tool.
- Savision: By integrating PRTG with Savision iQ, administrators can add a fast analytics layer to improve uptime, visualize the IT environment and integrate all of the IT systems into a single pane of glass.
- SonicWall: PRTG provides several ways to monitor SonicWall equipment including out-of-the-box sensors to keep an eye on the overall health of the firewall and the traffic on SonicWall devices.
- UVnetworks: UVexplorer integrates tightly with PRTG to bring fast and accurate network discovery, detailed device inventory and automatic network mapping to the PRTG platform.
- WatchGuard: WatchGuard offers a line of network security appliances. With PRTG, administrators can remotely monitor Watchguard firewalls and always have an eye on their Firebox’s availability.
Beyond generating additional benefits for customers and end users, Paessler’s Uptime Alliance also creates new business opportunities and synergies to provide partners and organizations across industries with new solutions and improved services.

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 ...

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 ...
