DevOps-driven teams requiring a solution to optimize and automate their observability and application monitoring operations

About IBM Instana

IBM® Instana® is the gold standard of incident prevention with automated full-stack visibility, 1-second granularity and 3 seconds to notify.

With today’s highly dynamic and complex cloud environments, the average cost of an hour of downtime can reach six figures and beyond1. Traditional application performance monitoring (APM) tools simply aren’t fast enough to keep up or thorough enough to contextualize the issues identified. Also, they are typically limited to super users who must complete months of training to learn.

IBM Instana Observability goes beyond traditional APM solutions by democratizing observability so anyone across DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, ITOps and development can get the data they want with the context they need. Instana automatically delivers continuous high-fidelity data at 1-second granularity and end-to-end traces with the context of logical and physical dependencies across mobile, web, applications and infrastructure.
