Performance monitoring company LogicMonitor updated its AIOps roadmap with the acquisition of Swedish AIOps company Unomaly. The company said the deal will provide a more robust artificial intelligence (AI) base for IT teams.

“The value of Unomaly's patented algorithms, combined with LogicMonitor's existing AIOps capabilities, will further help IT teams operating in complex infrastructure environments use AI to automatically analyze and surface anomalies," said LogicMonitor CEO Kevin McGibben in a statement. He added that the acquisition will ultimately allow customers to proactively take action before network disruptions impact their bottom line negatively.

Financial terms of the deal were not released.

Unomaly was founded in 2012, and made a name for itself by developing a platform designed to help ITOps and DevOps teams process logs and identify insights needed to stay ahead of issues. Its AIops platform works by automatically detecting anomalies in logs to allow IT teams to identify the root cause. This has the effect of improving visibility and allowing users to proactively take steps to optimize and refine the network to prevent future disruptions.

LogicMonitor plans to wrap these features into its AIOps platform to provide customers with more robust real-time monitoring features.

LogicMonitor's performance monitoring platform is built around a software-as-a-service (SaaS) architecture and is designed to collect performance data from a variety of environments including public and private cloud, storage, websites, and virtual machines (VMs).

As network complexity has exploded in scale with the introduction of virtualization, LogicMonitor has steadily expanded the scope of its platform to keep up. A year ago this week, the company launched support of Kubernetes, microservices, and containerized applications.
