Businesses seeking to modernize their technology infrastructure now have a powerful new option for accelerating observability migrations. Dynatrace has entered a strategic partnership with Crest Data Systems, creating a streamlined pathway for enterprises to transition from traditional monitoring tools. This collaboration combines the advanced capabilities of the Dynatrace AI-powered observability platform with Crest Data’s specialized migration solutions, enabling organizations to scale their operations with greater efficiency and reduced complexity.
Malhar Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Crest Data, emphasized the partnership’s goal. “Our work with Dynatrace centers on providing a seamless, automated migration experience,” he stated. “Leveraging our collective expertise allows organizations to modernize their systems more rapidly and with significantly less operational disruption.”
The joint offering delivers several distinct advantages for companies undertaking a migration. Purpose-built tools from Crest Data enable a faster, more straightforward transfer of dashboards and alerts directly into the Dynatrace environment. The platform’s core data engine, Grail, is designed to handle massive data volumes and complex queries, providing comprehensive visibility across even the most distributed IT landscapes. A key differentiator is the intelligent automation provided by Davis AI, which delivers real-time insights and automates problem resolution, drastically cutting down on manual effort.
Steve McMahon, Chief Customer Officer at Dynatrace, highlighted the growing market need. “Enterprises are rapidly moving away from outdated log management tools, and they require a migration path that is not only fast and scalable but also future-proof,” McMahon explained. “This partnership empowers our customers to gain actionable insights and streamline their operations at an enterprise scale. The full-stack observability delivered by Dynatrace is unparalleled, and this initiative represents a significant advancement in helping customers modernize with confidence.”
The solution’s flexibility is another critical feature, with plans already in motion to extend migration support beyond dashboards and alerts to meet evolving customer requirements. Upon completing their migration, organizations gain access to a unified observability experience, where Dynatrace correlates logs, metrics, traces, and events in real-time to simplify operations and reduce tool sprawl.
Feedback from early adopters confirms the transformative potential of this approach. Alex Hibbitt, Engineering Director for the Customer Platform at Storio group, shared his team’s experience. “Moving away from our legacy log management system was a major challenge,” Hibbitt noted. “Dynatrace offered a streamlined and scalable methodology that greatly simplified our operational processes. Utilizing Grail and Davis AI, we have achieved real-time visibility and significantly lowered environmental complexity. This transition has been a game-changer for our entire observability strategy.”
The Dynatrace and Crest Data migration solution is currently available. Organizations interested in migrating from traditional log platforms can reach out to either company for further details. Development is also underway to provide migration assistance for additional technology platforms in the near future.
