SevOne has joined the Juniper Networks SDN Technology Partner Program and will integrate its network and IT performance management solution with Juniper Networks Contrail, a standards-based and highly scalable network virtualization and intelligence solution for software-defined networks (SDN).
The Juniper Networks Contrail network virtualization solution, in operation with the OpenStack or CloudStack orchestrators, includes an open, standards-based SDN controller that virtualizes the network to enable faster automation and orchestration of hybrid cloud environments.
Integration of SevOne's performance management solution with Contrail will allow customers to have a single pane of glass for performance monitoring in virtual networks.
Furthermore, the service chaining capabilities of Contrail enable dynamic redirect of traffic for network monitoring and troubleshooting by SevOne technology thereby offering a flexible monitoring solution to end customers.
"As a Juniper Networks SDN Technology Partner, SevOne has positioned itself at the forefront of performance monitoring for NFV-style network services," says Vess Bakalov, CTO and Co-Founder of SevOne. "Working together with Juniper Networks, SevOne is able to provide customers with the fastest, most scalable performance monitoring solution across heterogeneous and federated cloud networks."
Casey Murray, VP of Global Strategic Alliances for SevOne, notes, "In working with the Juniper Networks Contrail solution, we address a primary concern of any customer considering the move to an SDN or Network as a Service deployment - how to leverage a SDN without losing real-time visibility of how things perform - which is the first step in quickly identifying and rectifying network service disruption. SevOne wants to work with network vendors that demonstrate thought leadership and a desire to support multi-vendor networks. Juniper Networks is a perfect fit."
As a Juniper Networks SDN Technology Partner, SevOne will have access to Juniper Network's Contrail platform development resources, is included in the platform beta cycle, and performs verification testing with Juniper to ensure levels of interoperability.
"Juniper Networks is pleased to be working with SevOne to deliver enterprise-class and service provider performance management to our customers," says Aruna Ravichandran, VP, marketing and strategy, Software Solutions Division at Juniper Networks. "SevOne is perfectly situated to address the performance monitoring requirements of big data infrastructures. Not only does it provide proactive alerts of potential issues across cloud-based networks, it also reveals critical performance metrics that prove the success of an SDN deployment."
"Just as Juniper Networks Contrail helps customers speed service deployment by creating dynamic and automated service chains, SevOne enables speed of deployment by providing an all-in-one performance management solution that significantly reduces the administrative burden required to monitor virtualized networks," adds Bakalov.

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 ...
