Zenoss expanded its Unified Communications monitoring capabilities by announcing a formal partnership with LayerX Technologies and launching UC Insight with Log Analytics, which is powered by LayerX’s AnalytiX software.
Unified Communications is a collection of applications enabling multichannel communications (instant messaging, email, voice and video) to traverse a common network, and provides users with a richly integrated ecosystem where contact and content are seamlessly shared.
With Unified Communications working in concert, business teams are able to collaborate with speed and efficiency. However, when Unified Communications solutions experience issues, organizations often grind to a halt as IT teams seek to restore Instant Messaging capabilities, troubleshoot dropped calls, or repair video conference and VOIP functionalities affected by jitter or other Quality of Service issues.
UC Insight with Log Analytics provides end-to-end monitoring across not only heterogeneous Unified Communications applications and systems, but infrastructure as well, delivering detailed call path analysis and Quality of Service readouts for all UC devices and tools.
“Organizations of all sizes are rapidly adopting Unified Communications platforms to increase team collaboration and productivity,” said Marcus MacNeill, Zenoss VP of Product Management. “UC Insight with Log Analytics offers extensive Quality of Service monitoring that helps our customers stay ahead of issues within their UC environment and uncover trends and patterns to optimize their communications services.”
UC Insight with Log Analytics displays all UC data under a single scalable architecture, correlated against performance thresholds and analyzed to determine anomalistic behavior. By combining this capability with the power of Zenoss Service Dynamics to automate remediation steps, incorporate detailed dashboards, and create reports, Zenoss provides a truly holistic approach to insuring UC environments constantly perform at their peak.
The platform itself is also extremely flexible with the ability to collect and index all types of data including Syslog, Proprietary Logs, Flow, RTCP, SDN Data, CMR/CDR, SQL Queries, SNMP, and more. Utilizing predefined rules and the powerful correlation engine at the heart of UC Insight with Log Analytics, users can extract, correlate, and take actions across the entire UC ecosystem. This data can then be graphed and analyzed to improve business performance.
“Forward-thinking enterprises have fully embraced Unified Communications as a key enabler for business productivity,” said Glenn Means, President of LayerX. “We are excited to partner with Zenoss to enable best-in-class Unified Communications monitoring and rich log analytics”.

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 ...
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.
