Multi Cloud Monitoring for Hybrid IT

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring is a SaaS solution for the centralized monitoring of hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It consolidates events, performance data, services, and dependencies from various sources to provide a unified view for IT operations.

This enables teams to identify more quickly what is affected, how critical an outage is, and where action is needed.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring is designed for companies and public organizations with complex, business-critical IT environments.

The solution is particularly relevant for heads of IT operations, NOC and monitoring teams, service owners, cloud and infrastructure teams, as well as CIOs and IT management who manage multiple monitoring tools, hybrid environments, or a high volume of events and alerts.

Traditional monitoring often focuses on individual systems, components, and thresholds.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring also links this technical information to events, dependencies, and services. This not only reveals that a problem has occurred, but also shows the impact of the issue and what should be prioritized.

Observability enables a very in-depth technical analysis based on large volumes of logs, metrics, and traces, and is often aimed at DevOps, SRE, and development teams.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring focuses more on the needs of IT operations: reducing the flood of alerts, understanding service impacts, identifying priorities, and responding more quickly.

More context than traditional monitoring. Less complexity than observability.

No. USU Multi Cloud Monitoring can integrate existing monitoring and event sources to create a centralized event, service, and alerting layer.

This allows existing solutions to continue to be used while the monitoring landscape is modernized step by step. A complete replacement of all existing tools is not required.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring aggregates events from various sources, standardizes their formats, and enriches them with relevant context.

Event Intelligence helps identify related notifications, reduce redundant events, and prioritize critical incidents.

As a result, IT teams spend less time manually reviewing individual alerts and can focus more on relevant incidents.

AI helps IT operations teams analyze large volumes of event and monitoring data more quickly.

Depending on the use case, USU Multi Cloud Monitoring supports, among other things, event correlation, prioritization, anomaly detection, and root cause and impact analyses.

The goal: spend less time searching for connections and gain more clarity for the next decision.

Service monitoring considers not only individual technical components, but also the resulting IT and business services.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring maps dependencies between applications, infrastructure, cloud resources, and other components, and highlights which services are affected by a disruption.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring was developed for hybrid IT environments and can centrally consolidate information from various operating environments.

These include:

• Public Cloud
• Private cloud
• SaaS applications
• On-premises systems
• Hybrid environments
• Multi-cloud environments

This also allows you to monitor services whose components are distributed across different platforms.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring is designed to integrate heterogeneous monitoring, cloud, and ITSM environments.

Depending on the system and data source, options include OpenTelemetry, REST APIs, webhooks, and specific integrations.

This allows the platform to complement existing tools and consolidate relevant information in a centralized location.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring is provided as a SaaS solution.

Customers do not need their own platform infrastructure and benefit from centrally provided updates and enhancements.

Cloud, hybrid, and on-premises systems are connected to the SaaS platform as environments to be monitored.

Various hosting options are available in Europe for USU Multi Cloud Monitoring.

Depending on your requirements, the platform can be hosted within the EU or specifically in Germany. Deployment via the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is also an option.

This allows for different requirements regarding data residency, governance, and digital sovereignty to be addressed.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring is particularly appealing to organizations for which data residency, security, traceability, and hosting play an important role alongside service stability.

These may include, for example, public administrations, financial service providers, insurance companies, energy utilities, healthcare organizations, and industrial companies.

Suitability for specific regulatory requirements must be assessed based on the particular use case.

Licensing for USU Multi Cloud Monitoring is based on the monitored resources rather than on fluctuating event or data volumes.

This makes it easier to plan monitoring costs, even as data volumes grow.

The specific licensing model depends on the scope and structure of the respective monitoring environment.

The actual effort required depends on the number of systems, data sources, services, and integrations.

Guided setup, discovery features, preconfigured best practices, and a phased rollout help you get started with selected environments or services and then expand your use of the platform.

Not every role requires the same level of technical detail.

USU Multi Cloud Monitoring provides information tailored to each role. Monitoring and operations specialists receive technical details, while service owners and IT managers, for example, can focus more on services, impacts, availability, and priorities.

This allows relevant information to be utilized even without in-depth specialized monitoring knowledge.
