Companies
that have invested in multi-cloud deployments can now comprehensively
view the health, performance, usage and spend of all public cloud
investments, including Google Cloud Platform (GCP), in a single view
using LogicMonitor's enhanced LM Cloud solution.
LogicMonitor,
the leading SaaS-based performance monitoring platform for enterprise
IT and Managed Service Providers, just launched expanded capabilities to
LM Cloud to support Google Cloud Platform. GCP joins Amazon Web
Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure as cloud platform technologies
supported by LogicMonitor's hybrid monitoring platform.
"Enterprise workloads are moving to the cloud, and more than half now
use more than one type of public cloud service. Using multiple cloud
providers can significantly decrease risk and costs while increasing
security and autonomy," said Steve Francis, Founder and Chief Evangelist
at LogicMonitor. "Evolving our multi-cloud monitoring to include GCP
gives companies the single-pane-of-glass view that enables them to
optimize technical performance and financial management of their cloud
resources."
Multi-Cloud Deployments Demand a Tailored Market Solution
"LogicMonitor
developed LM Cloud in 2018 to help customers with data in multiple
clouds. Previously, these users were forced to monitor each of their
cloud environments individually or pick a monitoring tool with limited
multi-cloud support," stated Sarah Terry, Senior Product Manager.
"The
need for a unified view across resources and services increases in
multi-cloud environments. LM Cloud's unified view with comprehensive
cloud performance and availability monitoring eliminates downtime for
multi-cloud deployments."
The Technology Behind LM Cloud
The
difference in cloud implementations goes beyond physical infrastructure
components as cloud providers vary in characteristics, functionality,
pricing models and policies. By supporting the unique needs of each
cloud platform, LM Cloud makes managing multi-cloud environments easier:
- Automation:
LM Cloud auto-discovers all cloud resources across providers and
automatically monitors the data. The platform produces dashboards based
on cloud management best practices to visualize the overall health of
the cloud environments.
- Comprehensive
Metrics: LM Cloud goes beyond simple cloud provider metrics by
monitoring application and operating system-level metrics.
Pre-configured alert thresholds ensure that meaningful alerts are
generated from the onset.
- Optimization:
In addition to performance, LM Cloud monitors cloud provider service
availability and cloud spend so that users can control costs across
multiple cloud providers.
GCP monitoring is available now with all LogicMonitor LM Cloud licenses.
