New Relic, the observability company, announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft to help enterprises accelerate cloud migration and multi-cloud initiatives. Thanks to this partnership, customers of Microsoft Azure can now use New Relic as their default observability platform directly from the Azure Portal. In addition to the integration improvements, Azure customers can use New Relic with their multi-year Azure commitments. This makes allocating budget for observability much easier for customers. This cooperation also aligns the sales teams of Azure and New Relic to provide more value to enterprise customers.
Regardless of the underlying architecture or whether supporting services are running in a hybrid environment, public cloud, or many clouds, observability is crucial to guaranteeing application performance. Engineers may be compelled to abandon observability best practises each time a new environment is added in order to fulfil project deadlines. Their only other option is to spend more time designing and developing the suitable monitoring system, which might cause project delays. Teams have blind spots across different tools, making it harder to maintain application uptime and reliability. With New Relic natively integrated into Azure Portal, engineering teams have a single pane of glass for monitoring all their workloads, no matter where they are hosted with full-stack monitoring, to debug, measure, and improve their entire stack.
“Not only are many of our customers using Microsoft Azure, but we are seeing a growing trend amongst our customers working across multiple clouds,” said Bill Staples, CEO, New Relic. “With this partnership, we are strengthening our cloud strategy and accelerating our mission to inspire millions of developers to take a daily, data-driven approach to software engineering with a future where decisions are fuelled by data – not opinion.”
“We’re very excited to announce our new multi-year partnership with Microsoft, the leading provider of developer tools. Under this partnership, it will be easier for customers to integrate Microsoft and New Relic products, house telemetry quickly and affordably in one place, all while translating that data into actionable insights. It will also enable us to reach more developers across the Asia-Pacific region, and accelerate our mission to help every engineer take a daily, data-driven approach to software engineering in which decisions are fuelled by data – not opinion,” said Stewart Cochrane, Senior Director, Alliances & Channels, New Relic Asia-Pacific and Japan.
“Developers have become the driving engines behind modern organisations. Our goal at Microsoft is to help them address the real-world needs of their customers with essential building blocks and infrastructure that accelerate solutions,” said Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice President, Cloud + AI, Microsoft. “We know there is increasing demand for great observability tools, and our partnership with New Relic will allow us to bring production telemetry tools and insights to the millions of developers building apps with Microsoft Azure and make it easier to get started with Azure for customers already using New Relic.”
Partnership highlights include:
-
Option to Store Telemetry in Azure: Customers on Azure can choose to operate New Relic’s core telemetry cloud on the cloud of their choice to help align with their digital transformation and multi-cloud strategy.
-
Native Azure Portal Integration: New Relic will collaborate with Microsoft on the engineering effort to deliver natively integrated New Relic Observability solutions through the Azure Portal.
-
Ability to Use Microsoft Committed Spend to Buy New Relic: Azure customers can retire their Azure commitment by purchasing New Relic from the Azure Marketplace, which simplifies purchasing and contract management.
-
Deep Azure Services Support: Deep integrations between Microsoft services and New Relic enables customers to land all their telemetry data quickly and cost-effectively in one place, and to translate that data into actionable insights.
“The players that are going to win in the observability space are the ones that offer their customers the flexibility to run workloads on the cloud of their choice,“ said Stephen Elliot, Program Vice President, Management Software and DevOps, IDC. “Businesses are adopting a multi-cloud approach at rapid rates because it can help them further innovation while creating resiliency in their systems since they won’t be reliant on a single cloud vendor. There is a tremendous business opportunity for the observability companies that are able to support multiple clouds and find new ways to reach developer communities."
The New Relic observability platform is the only one of its kind, allowing users to directly correlate, visualise, and alert on data from over 470 different integrations in one place, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform services; open-source instrumentation and technologies like Prometheus, FluentD, and Kubernetes; and modern CI/CD, release management, and issue management tools like Atlassian, Slack, and CircleCI. Last year's New Relic CodeStream partnership with Microsoft, which brings developer collaboration into the IDE through comprehensive integration support spanning multiple Microsoft platforms and products like VS Code, Visual Studio,.NET, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, and Azure DevOps, built on the momentum of that partnership.
