Today’s applications and infrastructure are constantly evolving and continue to span multiple environments. As the complexity of the environments increases due to cloud and microservices initiatives, getting full stack visibility into these dynamic environments becomes more difficult.

The StackState team will be in Frankfurt, Germany, June 5-6 for Gartner IT Infrastructure & Operations Management Summit. Come by and visit us to meet with our StackState AIOps experts, see a demo and learn how to accelerate your digital business with Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps).

Do you have full visibility across your business processes, applications and all underlying infrastructure? Do you wish you could spot any problem across the IT environment before it affects your critical business services? Are you tired of manually correlating data fragments from different tools to understand what is going on in your IT environment?

Utrecht, The Netherlands – January 17, 2018 - StackState, the market-leading Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) platform, today announced that it had raised $8 million in funding from Xebia Holding B.V., a leading Dutch IT consulting firm. StackState will use the financing to expand both its sales/marketing and technical teams to meet increasing demand and accelerate product development.

StackState has experienced tremendous growth as a company and as a technology. This development has come with recognition from leading publications such as Gartner, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) and Cloud Native Landscape, which I find both exciting and extremely humbling.

The SplunkLive! events provide a great opportunity for Splunk Ninjas to test drive the latest Splunk products and solutions, while hearing about industry best practices and networking with Splunk technical experts partners and fellow Splunk gurus.

But there is one important thing that you’ve missed during SplunkLive! Utrecht 2017.

We make improvements to StackState every single day. 

But, it would be kind of annoying if we told you every single day about all of the new stuff we’re doing at StackState, so that’s what this post is all about. A recap where we fill you in on everything that’s new inside of StackState from the last couple of months.

OK, let’s get to it - here’s what you need to know.

The past year was good for DevOps: we saw more enterprise adoption of containers and more companies throwing their hats into the container ring. We sat down with our friends from XebiaLabs – Andrew Phillips, Tim Buntel, and TJ Randall – and asked what they think the future has in store for the DevOps world of 2017.

1. A new wave of “next gen platform” projects is coming.

In 2017, we’ll see a new wave of “next gen platform” projects focused on container orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes, and re-tooled PaaS platforms such as OpenShift or Cloud Foundry. Acceptance of the need for a cross-machine resource management and scheduling framework is growing, and the vendor ecosystem is rapidly throwing weight behind this movement. There will also be an increased shift away from defining containers directly, and more towards having containers generated automatically where necessary.

We make big improvements to StackState every single day. Keeping you updated about these results on a day-to-day basis could become somewhat annoying, so that's where this monthly post fits in: a summary to share all our latest improvements and newest features.

During the last few weeks StackState has seen some huge improvements, so it’s time to catch you up on all the cool stuff we made last month. Let get right to it…

Monitoring your containerized infrastructure can be challenging. Containers move and change so frequently, that it’s more difficult to get an overview of your container landscape – especially at scale.
