Dynatrace Launches the First Observability Platform Hosted on Microsoft Azure in the United Arab Emirates

Software intelligence company Dynatrace (NYSE: DT) today announced the availability of the Dynatrace® platform on Microsoft Azure hosted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), making it the first Azure-based observability and application security platform hosted in the region.

Rising cloud complexity is creating challenges for many organizations in the UAE as they continue to prioritize digital transformation. A recent study revealed the number of tools needed to monitor the end-to-end technology stack makes it difficult to operate efficiently. Organizations need full-stack, hybrid, multicloud observability and advanced AIOps and automation to tame this complexity and drive large-scale digital transformation.

Harish Dunakhe, Sr. Research Director of Software and Cloud at IDC, said, “For more than 60% of organizations in the UAE, migrating to the cloud has become a foundational platform in driving their digital journeys. We expect cloud adoption to grow at around 25% in the UAE between 2021 and 2026, with organizations steadily moving their critical business applications to the cloud. Solutions that help organizations improve observability and AI-enabled IT Operations Management (AIOps) will be essential in reducing the complexity for organizations in the UAE.”

The Dynatrace® Software Intelligence Platform combines broad and deep observability and continuous runtime application security with the most advanced AIOps and automation to provide answers and intelligent automation from data at an enormous scale.
