ScienceLogic released CloudMapper, permitting organizations to monitor and visualize their off-premise, Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources.
Nearly every enterprise on earth uses AWS in some capacity. One of every three applications hosted in the world resides on AWS, it contains half-a-million Linux servers and growing, and it adds more storage capacity every 24 hours today than in all of 2005.
With CloudMapper, enterprise AWS users can simply access an IT monitoring platform on AWS that provides them full IT performance visibility across all Amazon assets.
CloudMapper benefits include:
- Unprecedented Visibility into AWS Cloud Infrastructure
Covering virtually every Amazon service offering currently available. For AWS instances, operating system and software applications, visibility is provided in an agent or agent less model.
Enterprises are primarily concerned with operating system and application health, but historically all they can see from AWS native reporting are rudimentary server infrastructure performance and availability metrics.
CloudMapper closes that critical gap. Enterprises can view AWS asset performance just like it’s in their own data center.
- Dynamic and Visual Linkage
IT operations can now, for the first time, literally ‘see’ the critical interdependencies across all application assets in and out of the cloud workloads, on one screen. With this level of in-depth visibility, enterprises can immediately remediate issues that can cripple application performance
IT operations can see where all workloads are physically running—across the cloud—and how they are connected to one another as they change, and how they depend on each other, helping to mitigate risk during a natural disaster or technical outages.
Enterprises can finally address cloud sprawl across the many AWS accounts, zones, regions, and services, making it simple to ‘see’ where resources are needed, where they need to be cut back, and immediately see the impact of changes made.
- Instant Access to Cloud Monitoring
You provide your Amazon credentials, the dashboard goes live. Why it matters? A major breakthrough in how IT monitoring functionality is purchased and provisioned.
- Simplified Benchmarking
Enterprises to date have been reluctant to move a larger share of their application assets to AWS, not only based on cost, visibility, and security, but also lack of visibility into configuration, performance, and reliability. With ScienceLogic CloudMapper in place, enterprises for the first time can readily determine risk levels and AWS investment ROI.

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.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
