IBM is acquiring Turbonomic, an application resource management (ARM) and network performance management (NPM) software provider based in Boston, Mass.
IBM says the acquisition will make it “the only company that will be able to provide customers with AI-powered automation capabilities that span from AIOps (the use of AI to automate IT operations) to application and infrastructure observability, all built on Red Hat OpenShift to run across any hybrid cloud environment.”
The acquisition will provide businesses with “full stack application observability and management” of containers, virtual machines, servers, storage, networks, and databases, IBM says, while also providing such value at lower cost in hybrid cloud environments.
The acquisition complements IBM's recent acquisition of Instana for application performance monitoring (APM) and observability, and the launch of IBM Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps to automate IT Operations using AI.
