Viavi targets enterprise cloud with ScienceLogic partnership

Test and measurement company Viavi Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) says it has signed a partnership agreement with ScienceLogic to co-develop offerings aimed at enterprise cloud applications. Collaboration with ScienceLogic, which provides hybrid IT and multicloud monitoring software, will lead to products that will enable IT teams to manage workload availability and performance across their hybrid IT infrastructure, Viavi asserts.

While Viavi didn't reveal when the new offering would come to market, the company said it will be designed to "provide holistic, real-time visualization of hybrid IT environments, including the underlying network, compute, and storage components, whether they reside on-premise or in the cloud." The product will combine these views with live dependency mapping and performance details of the virtual and physical IT elements. Automation and logical workflows that will provide context for more rabid cross-domain problem solving also will be features of the product, Viavi said.

The tool will enable organizations to accelerate their adoption of cloud concepts without losing visibility of their IT assets, Viavi concludes.

"With enterprises increasingly migrating and spanning critical business operations across converged private and public cloud environments, they require visibility and automated intelligence to ensure the success of their IT investments," said Paul McNab, executive vice president and chief marketing and strategy officer at Viavi. "Partnering with ScienceLogic will give our customers a best-of-breed approach to dynamically manage cloud resources, proactively detect performance and business-impacting issues, and automate responses to deal with problems on the fly."
